โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

What is GB 6675?
GB 6675 is China's national toy safety standard, equivalent to EN 71 (EU) and ASTM F963 (US). It covers mechanical/physical properties, flammability, chemical safety, and electrical safety. All toys must comply regardless of CCC requirement.
Can I use my EU (CE) or US testing?
No. China requires testing by CNCA-accredited labs specifically against GB 6675 standards. However, EN 71 or ASTM F963 test reports can help guide your China testing, as requirements are similar.
What about educational toys and STEM kits?
These generally require CCC if they contain plastic/metal components. Pure paper/cardboard kits may be exempt. Science kits with chemicals have additional requirements under cosmetics or chemical regulations.
Are there restricted substances?
Yes. GB 6675.4 limits heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) and certain phthalates. Limits are similar to EU REACH but not identical โ€” check the specific values.
