Safety of toys – Part 3: Flammability
1 Scope
1 Scope
This document specifies the categories of flammable materials that are prohibited in all toys, and requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of ignition.
The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained cannot be considered as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition.
This document includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and test methods relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the greatest hazard:
— toys intended to be worn on the head, such as beards, moustaches and wigs made from pile or flowing elements, masks, hoods and headdresses; however, paper and paperboard hats without embellishments or attachments are excluded(See A.3 in Annex A );
— toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play (See A.4);
— toys intended to be entered by a child and constructed from textiles and/or polymer sheets and films(See A.5);
— soft-filled toys (see A.6).
Supplementary requirements for flame resistance of electric toys shall be in accordance with the requirements in GB/T 19865

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
chemical toy
toy intended for the direct handling of chemical substances and mixtures, and which is used in a manner appropriate to a given age group and under the supervision of an adult
3.2
cleansing
wiping with a dry or damp cloth to remove surface soiling
3.3
flammability
ability of a material or a product to burn with a flame under specified test conditions
3.4
flaming debris
material that becomes detached from the specimen during the test procedure and continues to flame as it falls
3.5
extremely flammable liquid
liquid having a flash point <23 °C and initial boiling point ≤35 °C
3.6
flammable gas
gas or gas mixture having a flammable range with air at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101,3 kPa
3.7
flammable liquid
liquid having a flash point ≥23 °C and ≤60 °C
3.8
highly flammable liquid
liquid having a flash point <23 °C and initial boiling point >35 °C
3.9
highly flammable solid
material with similar behaviour in fire to celluloid (cellulose nitrate), i.e. ignites instantaneously as a result of a brief contact with a flame and proceeds to burn very rapidly
3.10
molten drips
falling droplets of molten material
3.11
flowing elements
loosely hanging elements having the ability to flow like hair, to hang closely to the shape of the head and
continue to move on their own after the head is rotated then stopped
EXAMPLE Imitation hair, free-hanging ribbons and paper or cloth strands.
3.12
moulded head mask
mask that is moulded to the contours ofthe head or face
3.13
soft-filled toy
toy, clothed or unclothed, with soft body surfaces and filled with soft materials or a combination of soft and non-soft materials (e.g. pellets), allowing compression of the main part readily with the hand
Note 1 to entry: A soft-filled toy may only be filled with a combination of soft and non-soft material if the main part of the toy can still be readily compressed with the hand.
3.14
surface flash
rapid spread of flame over the surface of a material without ignition of its base structure at the same time
3.15
toy disguise costume
costume intended to be worn by a child to facilitate imaginative play where the child pretends to be a character
Note 1 to entry: Costumes and garments for children less than 12 months old are not regarded as toy disguise costumes since such children are unable to engage in character role-play (see A.4).
Note 2 to entry: A toy disguise costume can be a single article or a clothing ensemble with multiple articles. A wizard’s cloak or a princess’s dress are examples of single article toy disguise costumes. A superhero’s cape and bodice and gloves are examples of a clothing ensemble with multiple articles.
3.16
toys intended to be entered by a child
toys constructed from fabric and/or polymer sheets and films that are intended to fully or almost fully enclose a child
Note 1 to entry: Tents, puppet theatres, wigwams, tepees and play tunnels are examples of toys intended to be entered by a child (see A.5).
3.17
washing
process designed to clean textile articles in an aqueous bath
Note 1 to entry: Washing includes all or some of the following operations in relevant combinations:
— soaking, pre-washing and main washing – carried out usually with heating, mechanical action and in the presence of detergents or other products – and rinsing;
— water extraction, i.e. spinning or wringing performed during and/or at the end of the operations mentioned above.
These operations may be carried out by machine or by hand.
