Plastic toys are one of the main production categories of toy manufacturers, but its safety has also been a major concern. Because of the mixed market in the early days, many consumers have an inherent impression that plastic toys are harmful to their health. It is easy to create this impression, but difficult to dispel it.
Export dilemma of plastic toys
As the main object of the current plastic toys are children, especially infants and young children often lick, bite toys, so the toy materials such as lead, antimony, arsenic, barium, chromium, cadmium, mercury and other heavy metal elements and other substances harmful to health is very taboo.
From the recent quality inspection department announced the results of toy quality sampling can be found, the toy products qualified rate is low, has caused a great threat to children's health, seriously affecting the export of toys. Most of the toys exported from China to the EU are made of PVC, of which 50% are for children under 3 years old. Therefore, the EU introduced a ban on the distribution of pvc plastic toys for children under the age of three "ban" directly affects China's toy exports of more than $ 400 million.The world's major toy importing countries have strict specifications for the safety of toys. Among them, the EU's EN71 is the most stringent standard, there are electric toy safety standards EN50088 and EMC standards; while the United States has ASTMF963 standards and CPSCRegulations standards, as well as the FDA standards developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Technical barriers of plastic toys
In the face of increasing international toy safety, technology, testing requirements, according to the development status of China's toy industry, trends and corporate affordability, "National Toy Safety Technical Code" mandatory national standards have been implemented since October 1, 2004. The standard technical indicators and international standards, than the old standard system, scientific, advanced, strict, more operable. The release and implementation of the standard will promote Chinese toy products to further enhance the safety quality, and the requirements of international advanced standards closer. It has been proved that, in the face of new trade barriers, Chinese toy export enterprises rely only on low cost is not feasible, how to use international standards and technology to improve the technical content of products, drawing on internationally recognized management systems and advanced experience to improve enterprise management, strengthen the enterprise "internal" training, these technical barriers to Chinese toy These technical barriers bring deeper thinking to Chinese toy enterprises.
Antibacterial production of plastic toys
On the basis of compliance with national safety standards, people today are also in pursuit of safer and healthier products for children, from this point of view, the emergence of antibacterial plastic toys have a good future. According to the survey: toys are children play 24 hours later, the surface of plastic toys on average 35 colonies per square meter, the number of bacteria per colony can reach tens of thousands, including dysentery bacillus, typhoid bacillus, influenza virus, hepatitis B virus and other infectious disease pathogens. These pathogenic microorganisms, often make children suffer from the corresponding infectious diseases. Toys made of antibacterial plastic, can effectively inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, high-quality antibacterial plastic can even reach 20 years of antibacterial period, can be safer to protect the health of children. However, at present, accounting for more than 90% of domestic plastic toy manufacturers of small manufacturers rarely use antibacterial plastic for production, while some large toy manufacturers although the production of antibacterial plastic toys, but they are aimed at the international market. Manufacturers do not pay attention to the safety and health performance of plastic toys and mixed products cause consumers to question the antibacterial function of the product, hindering the further promotion of antibacterial plastic toys. To form a healthy and trustworthy toy market, it also depends on the joint attention and efforts of the manufacturers.
Domestic toy enterprises are facing so many difficulties, and the factors that restrict them from getting out of trouble can be mainly attributed to poor quality and low technology content. Accordingly, it is not difficult to find a path to solve the problem: research and development of products that meet the requirements of safety and environmental protection; the use of science and technology to innovate a high value-added products.
