1.1 This section of GB 6675 specifies the maximum limit requirements for the migration of elements such as antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium in the toy material and toy parts, the sampling method, and the preparation and extraction procedures for the test specimens. 1.2 The maximum limits for the migration elements specified in this section are applicable to the following toy materials: —Paints, lacquers, raw lacquer, inks, polymer coatings and similar coatings (see 8.1); —Polymers and similar materials include laminates whether enforced by textile or not, but exclude other textile and non-woven fabrics (see 8.2); —Paper and cardboard with maximum unit area of no more than 400 g/m2 (see 8.3); —Natural, artificial or synthetic fabrics (see 8.4); —Glass/ceramic/metallic materials except for lead fluxes used for electrical connection (see 8.5); —Other mass-colored materials, whether or not dyed (e. g. wood, fibreboard, cardboard, bone and leather)(see 8.6); —Materials that will leave traces (such as the graphite material in the pencil and the liquid ink in the pen)(see 8.7); —Soft molding materials including modeling clay and gels (see 8.8); —The pigment used in the toy, including paint, varnish, raw lacquer, vitreous powder, and other similar solid or liquid materials (see 8.9).1.3 The requirements of this section apply to the following toys, toy parts and toy materials (see C.2.1): —All toys intended for contact with food or mouth, cosmetic toys and writing implements belonging to the class of toys, regardless of age or recommended age identification. —All toys intended for or suitable for use in 72 months and below. —Accessible coating, no matter any age group or recommended applicable age identification. —Accessible liquids, creams and gels (e. g. liquid paints, modelling compounds), regardless of age group or recommended age identification. 1.4 The packaging material is not included in the scope of this section unless they are intended to be retained, such as boxes, containers, or unless they form part of a toy or are designed to have play value (see C.2.2). NOTE: Taking into account the normal and predictable behaviour of children, this section does not require certain toys and toy parts if they are clearly excluded the possibility of being sucked, foraged or swallowed due to their accessibility, function, mass, size or other characteristics. (e.g. a coating on a beam of a wobble device, and a tire of a toy bicycle, etc.)
