Second Childhood: Raising Safety Standards for Toy Coatings

With the advent of the second child era, toy coating standards have also been raised accordingly

At the meeting, various toy companies expressed that it is difficult to achieve this levy standard.
First consider that if the solvent content of the solvent-based coating is reduced, the viscosity of the coating will increase, and it will not be easy to dry, resulting in a decrease in the adhesion of the coating on the surface of the toy and easy peeling.
It is accidentally swallowed by children, causing chemical hazards such as heavy metals.

In addition, some toy companies pointed out: "Toy paint manufacturers usually provide crude oil to toy manufacturers.
After purchasing crude oil, toy companies will formulate products with different formulas according to the product’s color scheme and performance requirements for use in toys.
In essence, crude oil is not a finished paint product, but a raw material for toy paint.
Therefore, paint consumption tax should not be levied on play companies.
"

Taking into account various factors, whether the toy paint excise tax should be collected is still a question.
At present, the paint consumption tax has not been officially determined to be levied on the downstream toy industry, but the author is also waiting for the answer on how it will develop in the future.

Implementing the new standards requires joint efforts from multiple parties

As of today, the new toy coating standard has been implemented for more than half a month, but since its implementation, it seems that it has not attracted much attention and response from people.
This makes the editor think that the implementation of the "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Coatings for Toys" in 2010 has also encountered a "cold field" in the market.

Indeed, compared with other policies and regulations such as "Shenzhen prohibits the sale of solvent-based paints and paints" and "Beijing levies VOCs discharge fees for five major industries such as furniture manufacturing", the implementation of the new toy coating standards has not caused a huge disturbance in the industry .
This shows that the market segment of toy coatings has not attracted enough attention.
However, the author believes that with the full opening of the “two-child”, driven by the growth of children’s population and economic development, the development of my country’s toy industry is bound to be good, upholding the concept of being responsible for children and the standards of toy coatings The level may continue to improve.
Before that, the joint efforts of many people are needed, including self-discipline of toy companies, consumer supervision, and national legal support.

The implementation of the new standard for toy coatings requires the joint efforts of many parties to make more consumers and operators aware of the importance of the standard to the market and achieve the final effect required by the standard.
