Toy exports to the EU EN71 certification - - the only way which must be passed

The new law demanding
It is reported, China is now the world's largest toy producer and exporter, the EU is the world's second largest toy consumption market, mainland China 's toy exports to occupy more than 80% market share in the European union. New EU toy safety standards, the Chinese toy industry be the first to bear the brunt.
Ministry of international trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute researcher Mei Xinyu said:" this year 7, in August China toy exports to the EU to slow the main subject to EU implemented formally on July" new EU toy safety directive", if not up to European safety standards, China's toy exports to the EU will continue to slow down".
" New EU toy safety directive" effect is fermentation. July 20th, the history of the most stringent toy regulations" new EU toy safety directive" carry out formally, nearly two months come, Chinese toy export growth is slowing rapidly validate this new law of great power.
The world famous third technical service institutions TUV SUD group ( hereinafter referred to as" SUD" ) think, Chinese toy enterprises to strengthen the third party inspection certification will become the new laws to crack the key.
It seems this toy export slowdown trend will continue. In the labor force cost rise, the toy industry profit meager circumstances, break new EU toy safety directive of the comprehensive safety assessment problems, will become China's small and medium-sized enterprises toys final straw.
It is reported, new EU toy safety directive on physical properties, mechanical properties, combustion properties, chemical properties and toy manufacturer responsibility and so on have made stringent requirements, such as the first to ban children toys added in 66 allergic fragrance, even to add CE Mark Rules and conditions have new requirements.
The EU is revised on chemical safety limit draft directive has been confirmed, to contain the carcinogen, can lead to mutations or can harm the next generation of material, in any case should not be children for any form of access to, including respiratory inhalation. Toy manufacturers in the export to Europe, also must have the export product safety assessment materials.
Sud South China toys and sundries manager Lu Jiande thinks, this measure will be on a global scale has caused a toy safety standard transformation. According to the EU this new law, in the technical data range, toy manufacturers need to provide comprehensive safety assessment, is the Chinese toy industry is facing one of the most serious challenges. Now the risk assessment standard ranging from mechanical function to safety aspects. In addition, manufacturers must also consider the toys were a possibility of inappropriate use.
Third party test and certification is the key
According to Lu Jiande, all Chinese children's toy exports in the international market, the first to meet the export countries' quality requirements and safety standards. CE mark is the product is allowed to enter the EC market sales permits, in violation of relevant provisions of the CE instruction sign product or company, will be restricted or prohibited from entering the EU market.
The German TUV SUD Mark toy safety certification CE certification of toys for an independent certification, is to promote and ensure product safety standards, through the certification can increase the buyers confidence in the products. In Europe, marked with the TUV SUD Mark certificate is proof of consumers to high-quality products, with the Mark products will buy more at ease. At present, Chinese toy products have been throughout Germany in major shopping malls. Every Christmas Eve is the TUV SUD Group China toy department is the most busy time, the major manufacturers in order to achieve high quality Christmas toy orders, have turned to sud.
Lu Jiande thinks that, in order to cope with the new law, Chinese toy companies first need to allow the product to reach now known European safety standard. For complete documentation preparation of safety evaluation is one of the biggest challenges, safety evaluation ranging from mechanical damage to the health of all the possible dangers. Toy enterprises with the authority of independent third party testing institutions, with its technological advantages and management experience to achieve cost savings, reduce product recall rate and accident risk is the best choice.
According to the South German test results, now the problem is that many Chinese toy enterprises using existing molds to produce products, many are in line with European standards, such as last year in Singapore random sampling of 50 kinds of toys, a startling discovery in 23 kinds of toys containing excess adjacent benzene two formic acid salt and lead. So the toy enterprises need to assess the operation required for production of raw materials, technology and supplier.
In addition, the world of technical regulations and standards are not the same, now China toy enterprises in the production of toy products is difficult to meet the requirements of different countries. Therefore the SUD manufacturers recommendations at the beginning of the product design contact SUD engineers, in order for the first time to help customers audit analysis of the rationality of the design. Avoid toys enterprises blindly behavior bring unnecessary losses.
More importantly, toy enterprises in the third party testing institutions and cooperation needs to be strengthened in the whole supply chain risk management, including the parts supplier, manufacturer, distributor, retailer management. In order to ensure the implementation of comprehensive and thorough protection mechanism. For example, a random sample of product testing, can ensure product quality and safety of consistency, even when the products before and after shipment is also the need for goods inspection and audit suppliers, and in the country of export for product testing.
Lu Jiande emphasizes, on the whole of the supply chain management is the best way for a company and its employees were tailored hazard awareness training, the process may result in a product safety risk comprehensive consideration.
