Australia: Limited review of the mandatory safety standard for toys containing lead and other elements; accessed via link below.

The mandatory standard for toys containing lead and other elements came into effect in 2009 to protect children from harmful levels of lead and other toxic elements in children’s toys supplied in Australia. The mandatory standard covers requirements for maximum migration limits for certain elements and provides guidelines on how to test for certain elements in children's toys and finger paints.The ACCC is conducting a limited review of the mandatory standard for toys containing lead and other elements. The purpose of this limited review is to seek stakeholder views about:increasing compliance options by referencing appropriate voluntary Australian and overseas standards that provide an equivalent or better level of safetywhether adding dynamic references is appropriate - so updates to referenced voluntary standards flow through to the mandatory standard.The limited review seeks views about allowing suppliers to comply with the most recent version of the voluntary Australian standard: Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS ISO 8124.3:2021/Amd 1:2023 - Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements)In addition, the limited review seeks views about allowing suppliers to comply with the following voluntary international standard:International Standard (ISO 8124-3:2020/Amd 1:2023 - Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements)Note: The Australian/New Zealand Standard is a direct adoption of the International standard.The proposed safety standard would not impose any requirements other than those contained in these standards. Allowing compliance with these standards would increase compliance options thereby reducing technical barriers to trade.
