FAQ

The toy category on the Amazon platform has undergone a significant update: all products must now pass direct verification through trusted list institutions. This means that sellers do not need to manually intervene; the institution submits the results directly, completely eliminating the risk of reporting non-compliance.

The new regulation will be implemented starting from September 2025, with the first wave of sites including the United States, Canada, the UK, and eight countries in the European Union (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Sweden). The focus of the change is on TIC institutions leading the review; results are directly linked to the backend; and it affects both existing products and new ones. Products that have not been verified or failed will be directly removed from the shelves.

This initiative stems from past issues where sellers forged CPCs or tampered with documents, and Amazon aims to strengthen security compliance. Ningbo Huabiao Testing, as an accredited trusted list institution, has testing capabilities covering all European sites, the United States, and Canada. Our efficient review process can quickly grant your toys the qualifications to sell. Choosing the right partner makes compliance so simple!

Silicone teether EN71 test items

The EN71 test is mainly aimed at assessing the safety of toys. As a type of toy, silicone teethers need to undergo the following key test items: 1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties test This test item covers drop tests, small parts tests, sharp edge tests, tensile strength tests, ear, nose, and eye pull tests, pressure tests, torque tests, seam tests, etc., to ensure that silicone teethers will not cause harm to infants and young children under normal and abusive use. 2. EN71-2: Combustibility test This test specifies the types of flammable materials that are prohibited, requiring the tested materials to have a combustion rate that does not exceed the specified limits. For silicone teethers, it is necessary to ensure that their material is non-flammable or has an extremely low combustion rate to reduce the risk of fires. 3. EN71-3: Migration test for specific elements (eight major heavy metals test) This test simulates the potential leaching of heavy metals from toy materials in contact with children's gastric juices and sets maximum limits. Silicone teethers must pass this test to ensure that they do not contain excessive heavy metals, safeguarding the health of infants and young children.

Introduction to UKCA Certification

UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) certification is a new product safety certification mark introduced after Brexit, used to demonstrate that products comply with relevant British market regulations and standards. Similar to the CE certification in the European Union, UKCA certification is a necessary condition for market entry in the UK and applies to most goods sold in the country. For children's toys, UKCA certification is even more essential because it directly relates to the safety of the product and consumer trust.

UKCA Certification Process for Children's Toys

1. Determine Product Standards Firstly, manufacturers need to identify which British standards their children's toy products must meet. This can be done by consulting relevant British regulations or seeking advice from professional institutions. Ensuring compliance with British standards is a prerequisite for handling UKCA certification. 2. Apply for a Product Safety Report Next, manufacturers need to apply for a product safety report from a qualified third-party testing agency. This report will prove that the product complies with the relevant British standards and is an important basis for handling UKCA certification. Ningbo Huabiao Testing, as a professional third-party testing agency, can provide comprehensive product safety testing and evaluation services for manufacturers. 3. Submit UKCA Certification Application After preparing the product safety report and other necessary documents, manufacturers can submit their application to the UKCA certification body. During the application process, they need to fill out a detailed application form and submit materials such as product specifications, technical documents, test reports, etc. 4. Review and Certification The UKCA certification body will review the manufacturer's application, including reviewing the product safety report and assessing the product through testing. If the product meets the requirements, the certification body will issue a UKCA certification certificate, proving that the product complies with the relevant British market regulations and standards. 5. Use of the Mark After obtaining the UKCA certification certificate, manufacturers can affix the UKCA mark on their products and indicate the certification number on the packaging as required. This is one of the necessary conditions for a product to enter the UK market.
