Toys & Gifts Inspection

Overview

Toys and gift products, ranging from plush toys and action figures to board games and novelty items, are designed to bring joy and entertainment. However, these products must also meet stringent safety and quality standards, especially when intended for children. Ensuring compliance with international regulations is critical to preventing hazards and building customer trust. At QCC INSPECTION, we provide specialized inspection services for toys and gifts, focusing on safety, durability, and compliance with regulatory standards. Our comprehensive inspection process helps identify potential issues before products reach the market, enhancing product reliability and user satisfaction.

Inspection Focus Areas

Visual & Build Quality Check

We conduct a detailed visual inspection to detect cosmetic defects and assess the overall build quality of toys and gifts.

• Appearance Check: Identifies scratches, paint defects, and surface inconsistencies.
• Branding & Label Verification: Confirms logos, regulatory marks (e.g., CE, ASTM, EN71), and labels are accurately placed and legible.
• Material Quality: Verifies the use of non-toxic and safe materials, such as BPA-free plastics and lead-free paints.

Specification Check

We validate that the product’s specifications align with client requirements, including dimensions, weight, and material composition.

• Dimension Measurement: Accurately measures product size, weight, and component dimensions.
• Material Verification: Confirms the use of specified non-toxic and child-safe materials.
• Feature Validation: Checks key features like sound effects, light-up components, and interactive functions.

Functionality & Performance Testing

We conduct a comprehensive range of tests to verify the performance and functionality of toys and gifts.

• Mechanical Function Test: Assesses the movement, sound, and light functions of mechanical toys.
• Battery Functionality Test: Evaluates the battery life and charging efficiency for battery-operated toys.
• Sound Level Check: Measures the sound level of toys with noise-making features, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
• Drop Test: Evaluates the durability of toys and gift items when dropped from typical heights, simulating rough handling.
• Pull & Bite Strength Test: Tests the durability of small parts against pulling and biting forces, particularly for toys designed for young children.
• Waterproof & Dustproof Verification: Assesses the resistance of toys to water and dust, especially for outdoor and bath toys.
• Interactive Function Check: Evaluates the responsiveness and performance of interactive features, such as touch sensors or voice recognition.
• Usability Assessment: Tests the ease of use, assembly, and play value of toys and gift items.

Safety & Structural Integrity

Ensuring safety is paramount for toys, especially those intended for children, to prevent choking, injury, or toxic exposure.

• Small Parts & Choking Hazard Check: Verifies that there are no small detachable parts that could pose a choking risk to young children.
• Sharp Edge & Point Check: Detects any sharp edges or points that could cause injury.
• Flammability Test: Tests the material’s resistance to ignition, particularly for plush toys and fabric-based items.
• Toxic Substance Test: Screens for harmful chemicals like lead, phthalates, and BPA in paints, plastics, and coatings.
• Mechanical Safety Verification: Confirms the safety of moving parts, such as wheels, gears, and pull cords.
• Overloading Test: Tests the durability of toys and gift items under high stress or maximum load conditions.

Packaging & Labeling Review

We inspect packaging to ensure it provides adequate protection during shipping and complies with labeling regulations.

• Packaging Integrity Check: Verifies secure seals, padding, and overall packaging quality, especially for fragile items.
• Label Verification: Confirms user manuals, safety instructions, compliance marks, age recommendations, and barcode information are accurate and clearly visible.

Common Issues Detected in Toys & Gifts

• Small Part Hazards: Detachable components posing choking risks to young children.
• Paint Defects: Presence of toxic substances like lead in painted surfaces.
• Mechanical Failures: Malfunctioning parts or broken components affecting play value.
• Sharp Edges: Unintended sharp edges or points that may cause injury.
• Packaging Problems: Inadequate protection leading to damage during transit.
