Toy Heavy Metal Testing

Toy Heavy Metal Testing

Toy Heavy Metal Testing

In today’s regulatory environment, ensuring that toys are free from harmful heavy metals is more critical than ever. This service aims to provide comprehensive testing for heavy metals in toy products, ensuring compliance with global standards and safeguarding the health of children who play with these items.

The process involves several key steps: first, proper sample preparation which includes cleaning, crushing, and homogenization of the toys’ materials. This is followed by a thorough analysis using advanced instrumentation such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to detect even trace amounts of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, and others.

Our team adheres strictly to international standards including ISO/IEC 17025 for calibration and quality assurance. This ensures that our findings are accurate, reliable, and can be trusted by all stakeholders in the toy manufacturing industry.

The testing process is meticulously conducted in a controlled environment to prevent contamination of samples. Our experts use highly sensitive analytical techniques to ensure that no heavy metals exceed permissible limits set out by relevant regulations such as EN 71-3:2019 and ASTM F963-17.

Compliance with these standards is essential not only for legal reasons but also because it reflects a commitment to the safety of children who use toys. By conducting this testing, we help manufacturers avoid costly recalls and potential damage to their brand reputation.

Our expertise lies in providing detailed reports that clearly outline the results of each test conducted. These reports are tailored specifically for our clients, whether they be quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers or procurement specialists involved in toy production.

In addition to detecting heavy metals, this service also helps identify potential sources of contamination within toy manufacturing processes. This information can then be used by manufacturers to make necessary improvements and ensure long-term safety and reliability of their products.

By leveraging our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced professionals, we aim to offer the most accurate and efficient toy heavy metal testing services available today. Our goal is not just compliance with regulations but also proactive measures towards maintaining high standards of product safety.
