ISO 8124-11:2019 PDF Download

A standard known as ISO 8124-11:2019 establishes specifications and test procedures for chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets. The standard defines rules to assure the safety of these toys and focuses on the substances and materials used in them. It specifically covers chemicals that are listed as dangerous by the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), chemicals that, even though they are not listed as dangerous by the GHS, have the potential to endanger children's health when used excessively, and any other chemicals and chemical mixtures that are delivered with the toy.

The standard addresses marks, warnings, safety guidelines, contents lists, usage directions, and first aid information in addition to defining requirements for chemicals. The objective is to offer thorough instructions to guarantee the safe usage of these chemical toys. The standard covers a variety of chemical toy types, such as plaster of Paris (gypsum) molding sets, oven-hardening plasticized PVC modeling clay sets, polystyrene granule sets, embedding sets, and adhesives, paints, lacquers, varnishes, thinners, and cleaning agents that are included in or suggested for use with model sets.
