Alpha science toy：Analysis of test standards for children's toys in various countries

Alpha science toys engaged in producing children’s educational science toys for more than 10 years, and deep understanding of the testing standards for children's toys. Today, Alpha science toys prefer share a detailed explanation of the testing requirements and standards for toys in various countries.

Alpha science toys learned the safety of toys and recreational items has been in the spotlight ever since the discovery of lead in children's toys resulted in massive product recalls in 2007. Every year, as new research comes to light about the health impact of various substances used in the production of toys, the list of banned and restricted substances keeps growing.
