or abnormal use of toys. These tests usually include: torsion test, tension test, drop test, deflection test, stress test, etc.
3. Q: What is the most stringent tension in the ASTM and EN71 abuse tests?
A: ASTM is 15LBF, EN71 is 90N.
4. Q: What is GCC certification in the United States and does it need to be done by a third party?
A: The GCC is a general compliance certificate specified in the CPSIA, which includes product information, manufacturer
information, test information, etc. Each batch of goods exported to the United States needs to be accompanied by a GCC, and an
electronic version is also acceptable.
GCC is provided by an importer in the United States or by a domestic manufacturer in the United States and does not require a
third party to do so.
5. Q: How should the traceability label in CPSIA be represented on the product to be qualified?
A: As long as it's on the product where it's easy for consumers to see it, that's fine, but the label should be permanent.
6. Q: Is the testing method for lead in CPSIA the same as other standards?
A: CPSIA has a special test method, CPSC-CH-E1003-09 for coating lead on children's products, CPSC-CH-E1002-08 for non-metallic
substrate lead on children's products, and CPSC-CH-E1001-08 for metallic substrate lead on children's products.

harmonized standards of the Toy Directive.
8. Q: Does the EC declaration come from the laboratory?

test of the product, he/she can write it by himself or ask a third party laboratory for help to provide the template.
