Amazon's Help Center has recently launched a new toy compliance policy: toys must be directly verified by trusted third-party institutions (TIC). This change fundamentally resolves the uncertainty of report audits in the past, allowing sellers to more efficiently maintain their sales permissions. The implementation date is set for September 2025, affecting the United States, Canada, the UK, and eight countries within the European Union (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Sweden).

The three key points are as follows: report audits will be transferred to TIC institutions; verification results will be automatically uploaded to the backend; it applies to all old and new products. Those who pass the verification can continue selling, while those who fail will face removal from the shelves.

FDA Test for Chemical Composition Analysis

Chemical composition analysis is a fundamental project in the FDA testing of wooden tableware. It primarily detects whether harmful chemicals, such as preservatives and toxic dyes, are present in the materials of the tableware. Through this test, it can be ensured that no harmful raw materials were used during the production process of wooden tableware, thereby safeguarding the dietary safety of consumers.

FDA Test for Physical Performance Testing

Physical performance testing mainly assesses the physical characteristics of wooden tableware, such as durability, resistance to deformation, heat resistance, etc. These properties are directly related to the service life and practicality of the tableware. Through physical performance testing, it can be ensured that the tableware will not be damaged due to poor physical performance during use, thus avoiding the leakage of harmful substances into food.

FDA Test for Migration Testing

Migration testing is a key project in the FDA testing of wooden tableware. It simulates the actual situation when the tableware comes into contact with food, assessing whether chemicals in the material will migrate to the food. Migration testing usually includes migration tests under different temperature conditions to comprehensively evaluate the safety of wooden tableware in various environments.

FDA Test for Sensory Testing

Sensory assessment primarily evaluates the sensory characteristics of wooden tableware through visual, tactile, and other methods, such as appearance, texture, smoothness, etc. Through sensory assessment, potential defects in the tableware can be promptly identified, so as to avoid their impact on the user experience and the quality of the food.

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.
