Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the safety technical requirements and test methods for child tricycles designed to be driven by foot pedals and ridden by one or more children. It is strictly applicable to human-powered child tricycles and does not cover toy tricycles or those designed for special purposes such as amusement rides. Manufacturers exporting juvenile products to China must verify if their product falls under this mandatory regulation.
Technical requirements
The standard comprehensively regulates the material safety of child tricycles, specifically setting maximum limits for specific migratable elements (such as Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury) in accessible parts. It also prohibits the use of flammable materials, requiring compliance with relevant appendices of GB 6675-2003. Regarding structural integrity, the standard mandates that all components must withstand mechanical strength tests without fracturing or developing visible cracks. It explicitly bans dangerous sharp edges, sharp tips, and small parts that could be swallowed by children aged 36 months or younger. Manufacturers must eliminate hazardous crushing points and exposed protrusions in critical riding zones. Stability is a core focus, with strict requirements for both driving stability and tilt stability (forward and backward) to prevent the tricycle from tipping over under specific load conditions. Additionally, the standard specifies dimensional constraints for operating systems, such as the handlebar and saddle insertion depths, and mandates minimum ground clearance for foot pedals. Finally, the standard outlines detailed requirements for product labeling and instructions for use. This includes mandatory safety warnings, such as the requirement that caregivers must not leave when a child is riding, and clear specifications for applicable age and weight.
Testing methods
The standard outlines a series of rigorous evaluation procedures, including drop tests to verify mechanical strength, and specific tests for sharp edges and tips referencing GB 6675-2003. Stability is evaluated through driving stability tests on inclined surfaces and forward/backward tilt tests. Additional procedures include impact testing using a weighted sandbag, and structural integrity tests for the handlebar stem, saddle clamp, backrest, and assist-push-rod.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 14747-2006?
The standard applies to child tricycles designed to be driven by foot pedals and ridden by one or more children. It does not apply to toy tricycles or those designed for special purposes like amusement rides.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 14747-2006?
The updated version introduces definitions for assist-push-rods and back-treadles. It also aligns material and flammability requirements with GB 6675-2003, and adds new testing methods for impact strength, backrest firmness, and push-rod durability.
How does GB 14747-2006 relate to other Chinese toy standards?
For chemical and burning performance testing, GB 14747-2006 directly references the relevant appendices of GB 6675-2003 (National Safety Technical Code for Toys). Manufacturers must ensure compliance with both standards simultaneously.
