AS/NZS ISO 8124.1: Toy Safety - Part 1: Mechanical and Physical Properties

Source：Besa Testing

Primary Purpose:

To standardize the safety of toy mechanical andphysical structures, thereby preventing risks of suffocation, cuts, and crushing caused by small parts falling off, sharp edges/points, and tipping.


Standard Definition:

Applicability: Toys and components intended for children aged 0-14 years. Different requirements are set based on age groups to accommodate the varying behavioral capabilities of children at different stages of development. Key Terms: Reasonably Predictable Abuse: Simulation of improper use scenarios such as tugging, twisting, and falling by children.


Testing and Certification Requirements:

Core tests include control of small parts, detection of sharp edges/points, structural strength (traction/torsion/pressure), stability of ride-on toys, and limitations on the kinetic energy of projectile toys.

Certification Compliance: Must undergo testing by a recognized third-party laboratory in Australia and New Zealand; compliance is required to enter the Australian and New Zealand markets. Labels must indicate the applicable age rangeand necessary warnings (e.g., risk of small parts).
