1 Scope
This standard specifies a method for the determination of six phthalate esters including dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), and di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP) (see Annex A) in toys and children’s products.
This standard is applicable to toys and children’s products which are made of plastics, textiles, and coatings, etc. and comply with 5.3.7 of GB 6675.1-2014 Toys Safety - Part 1: Basic Code. It has been validated for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polyurethane (PU), and some typical paint coatings (see Annex B). It might also be applicable to other toys and children's products materials provided that validation is demonstrated.
After verification, the determination of other phthalate esters may be carried out by reference to this standard.
