GB 6675.12-2014 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Safety of toys－Part 12: Toy scooter. It appears in the Electronics compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2016.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
GB 6675.12-2014 applies to toy scooters designed or intended for children under 14 years old weighing up to 50 kg, covering both foldable and non-foldable forms. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers targeting the Chinese market. It explicitly excludes scooters designed for sports purposes or those that are electrically powered, which are covered by other regulations such as GB 19865.
Technical requirements
This standard specifies comprehensive safety requirements for toy scooters, focusing on structural integrity and hazard prevention. It mandates that materials must be clean, comply with flammability regulations under GB 6675.3, and meet specific element migration limits per GB 6675.4. Manufacturers must ensure that scooters do not collapse or expose hazardous sharp edges and tips during normal use and foreseeable abuse. The standard outlines strict criteria for mechanical strength, requiring scooters to withstand specific static and dynamic loads without structural failure. It details requirements for adjustable and folding mechanisms, mandating that folding steering tubes have secure locking devices to prevent sudden collapses or accidental separations. Furthermore, it sets dimensional constraints, such as a minimum handlebar end diameter and minimum front wheel diameter. For braking systems, the requirements vary based on the target age group. While scooters for children weighing up to 20 kg are not required to have a brake, those for children over 20 kg must have a functional rear-wheel brake system. The braking performance must ensure smooth deceleration without sudden stops, and the scooter must be held on a specified incline with a force of less than 50N. Additionally, the standard requires clear warning labels and instructions detailing weight limits and the necessity of protective gear.
Testing methods
The standard mandates several specific testing procedures to verify compliance. The Static Strength Test applies a cylindrical load to the deck to ensure structural integrity under weight. The Dynamic Strength Test simulates real-world impacts by driving a loaded scooter into a non-elastic step at a specified velocity to check for breakage or collapse. The Brake Performance Test evaluates the holding force of the braking system on an inclined surface covered with sandpaper. Additionally, the Steering Tube Strength Test applies upward and downward forces to the handlebars to ensure the locking mechanisms and tube connections remain secure and functional.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 6675.12-2014?
The standard applies to toy scooters designed for children under 14 years old, including both foldable and non-foldable forms. It categorizes products into two weight groups: for children weighing up to 20 kg, and for children weighing over 20 kg but up to 50 kg. It excludes scooters designed for sports purposes or electrically powered scooters.
How does GB 6675.12-2014 differ from international standards like EN 14619?
The standard aligns structurally with the GB 6675 toy safety series and references international guidelines such as EN 14619 for sports scooters. However, it establishes specific, mandatory Chinese limits and testing parameters, such as a minimum front wheel diameter of 90mm and specific dynamic impact testing velocities, which require careful review against domestic rules.
Are there specific labeling and warning requirements for toy scooters?
Yes, the standard mandates specific warning labels regarding the maximum weight capacity and the necessity of wearing protective equipment (helmets, pads). Manufacturers must include clear instructions on safely folding and unfolding the scooter, verifying locking mechanisms, and the dangers of road use.
