Vinyl toys as the world’s largest production base of the Toy Industry Association, LI Zhuo-ming said that vinyl toy association in Guangdong Province will endeavor to provide good service, communication and work with the national authorities continue to increase product quality and safety of toys, the supervision and punishment purify the market environment and the promotion of Chinese vinyl toy industry healthy and orderly development.
Recently, on my vinyl toy companies in the domestic market perform "double standard", the domestic market, children’s vinyl toys, there are more "toxic toys" in the media attention caused the market. Guangdong Toy Association executive vice president of vinyl LI Zhuo-ming 3 exclusive interview with Xinhua that China’s vinyl toy companies in different countries according to the Vinyl toys into the safety regulations and technical standards, to create a qualified product, simply this is summarized as "two sets of international standards for the implementation of children’s toy," "toxic toys" flooding, is clearly incompatible with the status quo of China’s market.
Vinyl toy production in China, Guangdong province, the output value accounted for 60% of the global market. LI Zhuo-ming said that the current implementation of standards for vinyl toy, "National Safety Technical Code for Toys" is a mandatory national standard, and its mechanical and physical properties, combustion performance, 8 to migration of chemical elements (ie antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium) and all technical requirements with international standards ISO8124 "toy safety" requirement is entirely consistent.
LI Zhuo-ming said: "As their level of development is not balanced, the product of technical regulations and standards, and no global integration, but by the States under the specific circumstances of their own making. Therefore, our toy business into different countries, according to toy safety regulations and technical standards, to create a qualified product, which is the most basic conditions of access to international markets. simply summed up this situation as ’the implementation of domestic and international children’s vinyl toys, produced two sets of standards’, is clearly wrong. "
He said that the European Union the end of 2008 was amended on the Toys Directive, which claims to be "the most stringent ever vinyl toys and regulations," to limit the harmful elements of which 8 to 19 species, added aluminum, boron, cobalt , copper, manganese, nickel, tin, strontium and zinc, 11 kinds of migration of elements. But the new instructions defined these 19 kinds of harmful substances in requirements until July 20, 2013 before it is implemented, and the European Union there is no harmful elements in these new test method standard.
He said the United States August 14, 2008 entered into force, "U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act", the children’s products in all of the materials and paint touched proposed strict new total lead limit. However, due to technical reasons, the United States recently issued a new rule: that was originally scheduled for August 14, 2011 implementation of the total lead limit will be temporarily implemented.
LI Zhuo-ming said that China’s product quality and safety of vinyl toys very seriously. 2004 revision of the "National Safety Technical Code for vinyl toys," the technical requirements with international standards that ISO8124 "toy safety" complete integration. From 2007 on vinyl toys, toys, PVC toys, stroller toys and other categories of children 6 to implement mandatory product certification (ie, 3C certification). Organizations each year for national supervision and inspection of toys, recently released examination results: a total sample of Baby Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces 110 5 110 species production in the stroller products, passing rate was 80% ; plastic and electronic toys, a total sample of Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Hubei, Guangdong and other 8 provinces and municipalities of the 212 production of 242 vinyl toys, with a pass rate of 90.6%.
At present, the plasticizer for toys containing phthalates harm, there has been considerable controversy internationally. LI Zhuo-ming said that for the EU and the United States and other countries and regions, vinyl toy-related regulatory developments, China has been actively tracked and timely perfect the toy-related standards and testing, certification, supervision and inspection regime and strict product quality and safety of the vinyl toy customs. Although the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to develop the relevant international standards did not restrict phthalates, but to ensure the safety of infants and young children, China promulgated and implemented in the upcoming baby pacifiers (pacifiers) safety standards, has been on the 6 Class of phthalates were provided limited value, and its the same with the EU limit values. Meanwhile, China has also developed and implemented phthalate standard detection methods.
He said at present, our country is for economic transformation, inevitably there are companies and individuals in making profits, illegal operation from happening, but will overstate the situation for the domestic market, "toxic toys" flooding, is not consistent with the market situation, but also easy to damage the normal development of an industry.
Vinyl toys as the world’s largest production base of the Toy Industry Association, LI Zhuo-ming said that vinyl toy association in Guangdong Province will endeavor to provide good service, communication and work with the national authorities continue to increase product quality and safety of toys, the supervision and punishment purify the market environment and promoting healthy and orderly development of China’s toy industry.
