DANSK DSF/ISO/FDIS 8124-12 PDF

The requirements in this document apply to all products that are or contain materials which are aqueous in nature, supplied as or with a toy or that are or include a cosmetic (including those intended for use on a toy as well as on the child), paste, putty, powder, liquid, or gel that is aqueous in nature. Powders and similar substances intended to be mixed with water by the child are also in scope for microbiological cleanliness and are to be tested before and after mixing; such items are in scope for microbiological challenge only if they are intended for repeated use and will be stored between play sessions (manufacturers should consider the potential effect of variations in mixing proportions). The cleanliness and preservation effectiveness requirements are applicable to a toy as it is initially received by the consumer in an unopened and undamaged container and do not apply after a toy is subjected to reasonably foreseeable conditions of normal use and abuse unless specifically noted otherwise. The microbial limits and test methods contained in this standard are inappropriate to apply to products that are consumer complaint returns, as there is no way to establish what conditions the toys may have been subject to before being returned. Toys in which the aqueous materials are contained so that there is no accessibility either before or after use-and-abuse testing are exempt from these requirements. The requirements of this document specify acceptable criteria for microbiological cleanliness and adequacy of preservation of toy materials within the scope.
