NZS 5822:1992 PDF Download

A standard called NZS 5822:1992 was created to guarantee the security of toys meant for use by young children under the age of three. It concentrates particularly on guarding against dangers from eating and inhalation. To reduce the possibility of kids eating or breathing small pieces, the standard contains safety regulations and test procedures to evaluate the toys.

The standard is an upgrade to NZS 5820:1982, which met the 1992 Product Safety Standards (Children's Toys) Regulations' requirements in the past. However, NZS 5822:1992 has superseded the earlier standard and taken its place.

Toy producers can guarantee that their goods are safe for use by young children by adhering to the rules outlined in this standard. In order to prevent choking hazards, tests must be done on toy pieces' size and shape. Materials and potential irritants must also be considered in order to reduce the possibility of inhaling hazards.

In the end, NZS 5822:1992 is an essential instrument for safeguarding young children from potential ingestibility and inhalation risks linked with toys, ensuring their safety and wellbeing as they play.
