Toys shall not endanger the safety or health of users or third parties when used in a predetermined or predictable manner. When toys are only used by children of a specific age, the abilities of the user and his/her guardian under appropriate circumstances shall be taken into account. In order to meet the above basic safety requirements, the applicant shall ensure that the toys entering the Chinese market can meet the certification criteria, obtain the compulsory product certificate and be applied with CCC mark. With a view to maintaining the validity of product certification, improving the product quality, serving the enterprises applying for certification, controlling the certification risk and clarifying the implementation requirements for certification, the Detailed Rules is developed and publicized by the Certification Center of Light Industry Council (hereinafter referred to as CCLC) in accordance with the Rules. 1 Application scope The Detailed Rules is applicable to electric toys, plastic toys, metal toys and vehicle toys designed or intended for children under 14 years old to play with. The specific application scope and the adjustment of application scope due to changes in laws and regulations or related product standards, technologies, industrial policies and other factors, shall be subject to the announcement issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation (CNCA). 2 Certification criteria GB 6675.1 Toys safety - Part 1: Basic code GB 6675.2 Safety of toys - Part 2: Mechanical and physical properties GB 6675.3 Safety of toys - Part 3: Flammability GB 6675.4 Safety of toys - Part 4: Migration of certain elements GB19865 Electric toys -Safety (applicable to electric toys and electric vehicle toys. Clause 20 "Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards" are exempt from testing, and shall be ensured by producers from design and selection of spare parts and raw materials, and it does not exempt producers from the responsibilities of Clause 20). For the above standards, in principle, the latest versions issued by the national standardization administrative department shall be implemented. When other versions of the standards need to be used, they shall be implemented in accordance with the announcement issued by the CNCA on the requirements of relevant applicable standards. 3 Certification mode 3.1 Certification mode Basic certification mode: type test + post-certification supervision; A small quantity of toys delivered/imported in a single batch may be exempted from post-certification supervision. Generally, a small quantity of toys delivered/imported in a single batch are those made from the same materials and under the same production conditions, provided with a unique batch code and delivered/imported in a single batch, with the signed sales contract signed while sales purpose, customers, product models and quantity determined. The applicant shall submit an application for certification to CCLC, and CCLC shall determine the specific implementation plan according to the actual situation. The post-certification supervision refers to the post-certification follow-up inspection, sampling from the production site for testing or inspection, market sampling testing or inspection, or their combinations. Note: upon the acceptance by CCLC on the information submitted by the applicant, where the enterprise is assessed as a high-risk enterprise for certification, or when it is necessary to carry out on-site verification, the quality assurance capability and product consistency of the factory may be inspected first, and sampling testing may be adopted for product testing. 3.2 Principle of production enterprise classification CCLC collects and sorts out various quality information related to certified products and their production enterprises, and classifies the production enterprises accordingly. The applicant, producer (manufacturer) and production enterprise shall cooperate with CCLC. CCLC classifies the production enterprises into four levels, i.e., A, B, C and D respectively, according to the risk level from low to high. 3.2.1 Classification basis The quality information based on which the production enterprises are classified covers the following aspects at least: (1) submission of application data; (2) result of post-certification supervised testing; (3) results of factory inspection (including initial factory inspection and post-certification follow-up inspection); (4) results of national sampling inspection, random inspection on CCC validity and random inspection by governments at all levels, and product recalls; (5) information such as judicial decision, complaint arbitration, consumer association release, media exposure and law enforcement investigation related to certified/certificated products and enterprises; (6) other information. 3.2.2 Classification principle Class Classification conditions A Enterprises satisfying all of the following conditions may be evaluated as Class A if they: (1) are able to provide complete and clear application data according to the requirements of the Rules; (2) have no failure in post-certification supervised testing within the recent year; (3) have no major nonconformities in the initial factory inspection and the post-certification follow-up inspection within the recent year. Generally, for each inspection, there is no more than one nonconformity, and the use management and consistency control of the mark and certificate of the factory quality assurance capability; (4) have passed the national sampling inspection, random inspection on CCC validity and random inspection by governments at all levels within the recent two years; (5) have no judicial decision, complaint arbitration, consumer association release, media exposure and law enforcement investigation related to certified/certificated products and enterprises; (6) have the ownership over the main product processing procedures (such as plastic molding procedure for plastic toys and metal processing procedure for metal toys). If the subcontractor has passed the extended inspection by the center, this clause may be appropriately relaxed; (7) may be adjusted to Class A as evaluated by CCLC. B Other production enterprises except those of Classes A, C and D or those without any quality information. C Enterprises satisfying any of the following conditions may be evaluated as Class C if they: (1) provide application data with many problems, which need to be supplemented and improved for many times; (2) have certain problems in product quality or enterprise management, which shall be solved by themselves; however, such problems do not involve the certificate suspension and revocation; (3) have any major nonconformity or any nonconformity of which the rectification shall be verified on site, in each factory inspection within half a year; (4) shall be adjusted to Class C as evaluated by CCLC due to other reasons. D Enterprises satisfying any of the following conditions may be evaluated as Class D if they: (1) provide false application data and testing samples; (2) fail in the supervised sampling testing; (3) fail in any factory inspection within half a year or have their certificates suspended or revoked by the center due to many problems; (4) refuse the inspection or supervised/non-routine sampling without justified reasons; (5) fail in the national sampling inspection, random inspection on CCC validity and random inspection by governments at all levels, or have any product recalled (any inconformity with the certification standards) due to their own reasons; (6) have their certificates suspended or revoked by the center due to any judicial decision, complaint arbitration, consumer association release, media exposure and law enforcement investigation related to certified/certificated products and enterprises; (7) have any severe defect in product quality due to their own reasons, which may result in certificate suspension or revocation; (8) shall be adjusted to Class D as evaluated by CCLC due to other reasons.   Before the annual follow-up inspection, CCLC will inform the production enterprises of the information on classification management determination/adjustment. CCLC implements dynamic management on production enterprises according to various relevant information collected in combination with classification principles and relevant requirements, and reevaluates and adjusts the classification results either regularly or irregularly. If an enterprise has any major problems affecting the result of risk assessment, it will be classified into the high-risk category by CCLC at any time according to the assessment result. On the contrary, if the evidence suggests that the factors causing the risks have been effectively controlled, CCLC usually adjusts the risk to low level successively in the order of D→C→B→A according to the risk assessment. If the production enterprise has sufficient reasons to prove that the reason of the downgrade is incidental and the production enterprise is always Class A before downgrade, CCLC may consider cross-class adjustment upon evaluation. 4 Certification unit division In principle, certification units shall be divided by main material, structure, function, predetermined play style, applicable age, etc. of toys. See Annex 1 Principles for compulsory certification unit division of toys for details. The certification unit division method of various products in Annex 1 is intended for general purpose. Considering the differences in the use functions, structures and specifications of products, it may be appropriately adjusted to reduce the risk of type test. The same products produced by the same producer in different production enterprises, or those produced by different producers of the same production enterprise may be divided into the same certification unit or deferent certification units. If the applicant intends make the products divided into the same certification unit, it will propose another request and description to CCLC at the application; in this case, CCLC will decide whether to accept it according to the actual situation, and will determine the specific implementation plan for any acceptance.
