China is the major country of toy production and exportation; Our toys have been sold worldwide, but since Mattel, the world’s largest toy manufacture, recalled large quantities china toys, the news that Chinese-made toys frequently been recalled were ceaselessly reported, "Made in China" and "Toy Safety" has become a topic of the focus of international attention.
Because quality and safety of toys is directly related to the child’s physical and mental health, all countries and relevant organizations launched own toy safety standards, and increased new contents every year, such as ISO 8124, 88/378 / EEC and EN-71, ASTM F963, as well as GB 6675-2003.
 Quality of toys directly impact on China domestic and international toy market in the increasingly fierce international toy market. Therefore, the domestic toy business must improve safety and quality. With the solid strength and good reputation, PONY TEST provides testing services for your toys as follows:
Toys testing scope：

Toys testing items：

Testing standards of every country and area

EN71 testing items
EN71-1 part: Physical and Mechanical Properties
EN71-2 part: Flammability Test
EN71-3 part: Migration of Certain Elements (Pb、As、Sb、Ba、Cd、Cr、Hg、Se)

EN71-9 testing items

The standard EN71-9 specifies the requirements for migration or content of certain hazardous organic chemical compounds from/in toys and toy materials by the following exposure routes:
-  Mouth
-  Ingestion
-  Skin contact
-  Eye contact
-  Inhalation
EN71-9 mentions chemical substances:
Flame retardants
Colorfastness to perspiration
Colorants
Primary aromatic amines
Monomers of plastics (migration)
Solvents (migration and inhalation)
Wood preservatives and other preservatives (migration)

The above enumerative substance is only a part. It is not possible to list all latency substance used in toy. So these standard is only a door to obey Europe regulations. Manufacture should notice other hazardous substance in addition to the above substances, in order to satisfy basic safety requirements of toy directives.

Legal status of EN71-9
A standard published by CEN does not automatically become a standard with reference to the Toy Directive. Only after publication in the Official Journal of the EU, the standard is accepted as a Toy Directive. Currently EN 71-9, EN71-10 and EN71-11 are “voluntary standards”. This interim situation is confusing. Enforcement bodies in some Member States are known to have used EN 71-9 to withdraw products from the market, because EN 71-9 provides scientific evidence of hazardous substances.
Another discussion may influence the process as well. Now European Commission is reviewing this Toy Directive. The parts concerning the essential requirements on chemical safety are the major parts to be discussed, and these parts are possibly changed.
