DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER VENDOR REQUIREMENTS FOR CHILD APPEALING - PLAY VALUE

OTHER MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:

PLAY VALUE
Many products, although not specifically marketed as toys, are regarded by the regulators as having "Play Value", which means that because of their appearance they are likely to be played with or even be given to young children to play with. Examples are pet toys, products that are not toys but are decorated like a toy (cartoon characters etc).
REGARDLESS OF ANY PRINTED DISCLAIMERS OR WARNINGS ABOUT THEM NOT BEING TOYS, OR RESTRICTING THEIR AGE RANGE, any such product  is required to meet Australian toy safety Standards.

For any such products, the regulators  require Test Reports to the following standards. NB: Only these standards are acceptable; the regulators will not accept reports for the US or other markets:

Toy Safety reports to current versions of
AS/NZS ISO 8124.1
Safety of toys - Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties
(Or: EN71.1  Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties)
 
AS/NZS ISO 8124.3
Safety of toys (safety requirements) Part 3 Migration of certain elements requirements. 
(Or: EN71.3 Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements). 

PHTHALATES

"Must not contain more than 1% by weight of the any of the following chemicals:
DIDP Diisodecyl phthalate
DINP Diisononyl phthalate
