Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to all toys designed or clearly intended for use in play by children under 14 years old, including trial and free gift toys. It also covers products not specifically designed for play but possessing play functions for this age group. It is mandatory for all toy manufacturers and importers targeting the Chinese market. The standard explicitly excludes products such as public playground equipment, bicycles with a saddle height over 435mm, sports equipment, and certain functional products with a rated voltage exceeding 24V. It serves as the foundational document for the GB 6675 series and GB/T 19865 for electric toys.
Technical requirements
The standard establishes the basic safety requirements for toys across multiple domains to mitigate risks during normal use and reasonably foreseeable abuse. It mandates that toys must possess sufficient mechanical strength and stability, with designs that prevent injuries from sharp edges, points, and entrapment. Manufacturers must ensure that toys do not pose choking, strangulation, or suffocation hazards. Specific attention is given to simulated food toys and packaging to prevent accidental ingestion. Regarding chemical safety, the standard sets strict limits on migratable elements (including antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and newly added boron) in various toy materials. It also enforces restrictions on phthalate plasticizers in accessible plasticized materials, expanding the list to include DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP, and DCHP. Compliance with these chemical limits is critical for market access. Additional requirements cover formaldehyde, harmful aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), N-nitrosamines, formamide, short-chain chlorinated paraffins, and VOC emissions. The standard also addresses flammability and explosion risks, requiring that toy materials do not easily ignite or spread flames rapidly. Electrical toys must not exceed 24V DC or equivalent AC between accessible parts, with internal components exceeding 24V designed to prevent electric shock. Furthermore, toys must meet hygiene requirements, including the absence of rot or insect infestation in plant materials, and must not emit abnormal odors. New requirements for electromagnetic radiation and optical radiation are also introduced to ensure comprehensive safety.
Testing methods
Testing procedures are primarily referenced from other parts of the GB 6675 series and specific GB/T standards. Mechanical and physical properties are tested according to GB 6675.2, while flammability follows GB 6675.3. Chemical analyses for migratable elements refer to GB 6675.4, and phthalates are tested via GB/T 22048. The standard also specifies methods for testing formaldehyde, harmful aromatic amines (GB/T 17592), PAHs (GB/T 29614), and VOC emissions (GB/T 46509). Odor evaluation is conducted using a sensory assessment method by trained professionals.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 6675.1-2025?
It regulates all toys designed for children under 14, including products with play functions. It excludes items like public playground equipment, sports gear, and certain high-voltage functional products.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 6675.1-2014?
Yes, the 2025 version adds limits for boron and four new phthalates (DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP, DCHP). It also introduces requirements for simulated food toys, electromagnetic radiation, plant material hygiene, and specific VOC release limits.
Does GB 6675.1-2025 align with international ISO or EN standards?
While the standard forms a comprehensive safety system similar to international frameworks, it includes unique Chinese requirements, such as specific limits on certain plasticizers, formaldehyde in textiles, and odor evaluation, which may differ from ISO or EN standards.
