AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2019 PDF Download

All toys intended for use by children under the age of 14 must comply with the safety requirements outlined in AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2019. Toys that are brand new and those that have had typical usage and abuse are both subject to the standard. The specifications address a number of different factors, including structural elements (such as shape, size, contour, and spacing), characteristics unique to particular toy categories (such as kinetic energy values and tip angles), and suitable warnings and instructions.

Depending on the age range for whom a toy is intended, the standard specifies various standards and testing procedures. These specifications take into account the types of dangers as well as the anticipated cognitive and physical development of children in each age group. Due to potential linguistic variations between nations, the standard also underlines the significance of including relevant warnings and instructions on toys or their packaging without mentioning the precise wording.

It's crucial to remember that the standard does not address all risks associated with a given toy or group of toys. It does, however, necessitate the labeling of functional dangers and the suggested age range for the toy. To minimize other potential hazards connected to the toy's structural features, inherent and recognized hazards integral to the function of a toy are addressed through cautionary labeling and compliance with the standard's requirements, such as the sharp points on sewing needles or the instability of a two-wheeled scooter.
