AQF Children's and Baby Toys Quality Control Expertise

The children’s and baby toys industry is responsible for guaranteeing the safety of their products for the millions of vulnerable young consumers who play with them every day. Manufacturers, importers, and retailers involved in children’s toy manufacturing in China & Asia must implement robust supply chain management to ensure the timely delivery of finished goods that meet stringent toy regulations and address consumer expectations for toy safety.

AQF offers product-specific children’s toy inspection services in China and Asia. Our expertise extends to hundreds of juvenile products and baby toys for indoor, outdoor, educational, and imaginative purposes.

AQF’s specialized inspectors monitor the whole manufacturing process, ensuring timely shipment of children’s and babies toys that conform to destination specific safety regulations. We refer to toy standards from destinations such as the USA, EU, Australia, Canada, and Mexico including CPSIA, ASTM F963, EU toys safety directive, IEC, ISO/TC 181, AS/NZS ISO 8124, SOR/2016-168, and NOM-252-SSA1-2011.

Children’s and Baby Toys Quality Control Approach

 

AQF technical engineers work together with your team to customize our standard baby and children’s toy inspection checklist to address your key risks and unique product specifications.

AQF inspectors verify the product's workmanship on mass production based on your Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), provide an overview of the finished goods’ quality, and highlight areas for improvement. We also perform product function and safety tests and assess compliance with your product’s specifications and reference samples.

AQF goes further than the average quality inspection service in China & Asia. Using our expertise in children's toy inspection and our leading edge online technology, we set up and manage a customized surveillance program, monitor the results, and help implement corrective actions necessary to achieve your quality objectives and lead-times.

TOYS LAB TESTING APPROACH

Some tests on children’s toys require a controlled environment to accurately assess their compliance with the relevant toy standards and regulations. Our AQF inspectors select items from the production batch and forward them to an accredited laboratory for analysis.

Regulations around the world are strict for children’s toys, and it takes around five days to get the initial results of any test. To save time in your test selection and guarantee the most efficient service, we collaborated with a team of lab experts to design several transparently priced toy testing offers which you can book instantly online and have your lab tests processed without delay.
