GB 6675.3-2025 Safety of toys - Part 3: Flammability 1 Scope This document specifies the categories of flammable materials that are prohibited in 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. Note 1: There are few accident data on the hazards of flammability of toys. Note 2: See Annex A for the background and basic principle of this document. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition (including any amendments) applies.

Note 2: A toy disguise costume can be a single article or a clothing ensemble with multiple articles. A wizard’s cloak and 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: 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: 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 to remove water in textiles. These operations may be carried out by machine or by hand. 4 Technical requirements 4.1 General requirements The following materials shall not be present in toys. ——Celluloid (cellulose nitrate), except when used in varnish,
