工信部：已优化完善“捏捏乐”等网红玩具有害物质的限量要求

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) emphasizes the need for enhanced guidance and regulation in the toy industry due to emerging safety challenges posed by popular "internet celebrity" toys, which have been found to contain harmful substances that could affect children's health [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Changes - MIIT has revised and improved the GB 6675 series of mandatory national standards for toy safety, focusing on high-profile products like "squishy toys" and "crystal mud" to optimize limits on harmful substances [1][2]. - New standards include a formal limit for formaldehyde in toys for children under 36 months, set at ≤30 mg/kg, and the introduction of a TVOC release limit of ≤0.5 mg/m, addressing a gap in both domestic and international toy standards [2]. - The number of phthalate types regulated has increased from 6 to 10, and the limit for boron in "crystal mud" toys is set at ≤300 mg/kg, aiming to prevent harm to children [2]. Group 2: Safety Oversight Initiatives - The National Market Supervision Administration (NMSA) has launched a three-year action plan in collaboration with MIIT and other departments to enhance safety oversight of children's products, focusing on both inspection and establishing long-term mechanisms [2][3]. - Key products under scrutiny include magnetic beads, chemical experiment kits, "blind box" toys, stress relief toys, "fake water" toys, and children's smartwatches, with a targeted approach to address specific safety issues [3]. - In 2023, market regulatory authorities conducted oversight on 18,000 batches of toys and inspected over 70,000 children's product manufacturers and retailers, identifying and rectifying issues in nearly 2,000 companies [3].
