Challenge
On 18 December 2008, European Parliament has adopted the revision of the Toy Safety Directive 88/378/EEC, the directive is revised with unprecedented requirements in chemical safety. Later, American Society of Testing Materials issues the new Toy Safety Standard ASTM F963-08 on 17 February 2009. The revision of these two toy safety standards increases to a certain extent the threshold for toys and children's products entering into the Europe and the U.S. markets. At the same time, toy buyers and consumers around the world are taking compliance with the safety standards as the first consideration in purchasing toy products. The toy industry is facing increasing challenges.
Our Solutions
Guangdong Province continues to be a major production hub for toys of all kinds. In direct response to the toy industry's need for support and aid in complying with new quality and safety standards,Intertek establishes a large-scale toy laboratory in Shenzhen and Guangzhou separately, offering an array of comprehensive services and solutions for local toy manufacturers and international buyers. The laboratory in those two cities offers a wide range of toy testing services with state-of-the-art equipment. The benefits from the toy testing technology and experience, qualification and market resources of Intertek, will improve our service to the local customers, and at the same time render more time effective local support to the customers in other areas around the world.

6. Phthalate Testing
Phthalate is a group of chemical compounds, mainly used in PVC materials to act as plasticizers and convert hard plastics to elastic ones. However, improper use of phthalate can: * affect normal activities of hormone * do harm to liver, kidney, lung and budding testicle The new EU phthalate Directive 2005/84 EC had become effective on Jan 16, 2007, which is applicable to all toys and children care products made of plastics. According to US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, from 10 Feb, 2009, sale of certain products containing specific Phthalates should be prohibited.
The requirements of the EU Phthalate Directive 2005/84 EC: Phthalate DEHP DBP BBP DINP DIDP DNOP DINP+DIDP+DNOP < 0.1 % on plasticized material which can be placed in the mouth Limit DEHP+DBP+BBP < 0.1% on plasticized material
The requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 : Scope Toys(<12 years old and can not put in mouth ) Toys(<12 years old and can put in mouth) Childcare article (<3 years old) DEHP DBP BBP DINP DIDP DNOP Limit Max. 0.1% (individual)
EN71 Part 9 specifies requirements for the migration or content of certain hazardous organic chemical compounds from/in certain toys and toy materials by the following exposure routes: * Mouthing * Ingestion * Skin contact * Eye contact * Inhalation When used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the normal behaviour of children and the function and design of the toy. EN71-9: Organic Chemical Compounds - Requirements Only certain materials in the following types of toys and toy components are covered by these requirements, for example: * Toys intended to be mouthed by children under 3 years of age, e.g. Teethers; * Toys and accessible components of toys intended for children under 3 years of age; * Mouthpiece components of mouth-actuated toys; * Solid toy materials intended to leave a trace
Main requirements are listed in the overview table, with further details in the following limit tables for each type of substance. Organic Chemical Compounds in Toys: EN71-9, 10 & 11 Overview of EN71-9 Requirements for Organic Chemical Compounds in Toys
