Why have children's toys become a "disaster area" for Amazon TIC verification?

What is Amazon TIC certification, and why have children's toys become the "disaster area" of Amazon TIC verification? 

The recent tightening of regulations by Amazon, targeting children's toys, has actually been a sign for some time. Why have children's toys suddenly become the "disaster area"? 

The core lies in the special nature and high risk of children's products. According to the new policy of the platform, all toys intended for children under 12 years old must pass two major checkpoints: physical/mechanical safety testing and chemical composition compliance verification. 

This is not just about checking whether the toys can cut children, but it covers: Physical mechanical performance: such as the risk of choking from small parts, sharp edges and corners, rope entanglement hazards, stability and overload tests, etc. Chemical performance: strictly limiting the migration of heavy metals and harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, and phthalates to ensure that children do not ingest toxic chemicals when in contact with the product. Many sellers are caught off guard, not because the quality of their products is poor, but because their understanding of compliance remains superficial. 

The platform's move is aimed at squashing safety risks in their infancy, continuously supervising the compliance status of products on sale through mandatory annual verification to protect consumers and also safeguard the platform itself. However, well-intentioned policies have turned into a crisis due to sellers' information gaps. If you are not very familiar with the testing standards and project requirements of your products, you are very likely to "step on a landmine." We recommend that you take proactive action before the platform notifies you.
