In practice consumption, many parents pay attention to the quality and safety of kindergarten wooden toy products, but when buying children’s toys, children’s wooden toy paint is often an overlooked point. According to the introduction of the well-known consumer product testing laboratory in China, “Children’s paint” is a paint specially designed for the care of children’s health. It has increasingly severe quantitative specifications for harmful substances, and it should also have stronger stain resistance.
The query found that many brands of children’s paint in the mall are mainly safe and environmentally friendly. For example, words such as “zero formaldehyde”, “no additions”, and “ultra-environmental protection” are often used by merchants for product promotion. However, for most customers, they don’t know which specifications to choose products according to. For a long time, there are no regulations to follow in the production of children’s paint in our country.
However, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China and the National Standardization Treatment Committee endorsed the “Water-based Wood Coatings for Children’s Room Decoration” and other national standards on December 30, 2016, and will be implemented on July 1 this year. In addition, the “Children’s Room Decoration Interior Wall Coatings”, which primarily regulates children’s wall coatings, is also being drafted, which will provide comprehensive and systematic technical support for the quality and safety of children’s wooden toys.
Children’s paint specifications are stricter than general paints. Compared with the general paint specifications, the children’s paint specifications have made stricter regulations on environmental protection and scrubbing resistance. According to the introduction of Shifu Testing Laboratory, “Interior Wall Coatings for Children’s Room Decoration” has four stricter performances:
1. The limit values of hazardous substances such as formaldehyde and VOC have been more severely regulated.
2. The detection of heavy metal substances such as antimony, arsenic, barium, and selenium has been added.
3. Severely control the content of carcinogen asbestos
4. Higher requirements for scrub resistance and stain resistance
Then, after the implementation of the children’s paint regulations, how should business owners achieve compliance with children’s toy-related products? In the past, most companies marked general paint specifications on the packaging of children’s paint, but this specification is not transparent, and customers have no way of knowing it, so when you buy, you can only look at advertisements or brands. However, the introduction of the new regulations will help to regulate the coatings market, improve the chaotic situation of regulations, and promote the improvement of product quality.
The Shifu Testing Laboratory, which has been engaged in the testing, certification, and analytical technical services of children’s toys and related products for a long time, has a rich collection of children’s wooden toys technology, and has full professional discussions on new specifications, which will provide enterprises with professional standard technology. Service support, at the same time, promote the healthy development of children’s toys occupation.
