(First Part)
Torque Test: Torque test steps: apply clockwise torque force on the component in 5 seconds , twist to 180 ° or 0.34Nm, hold for 10 seconds and then return the parts to the relaxed state, counterclockwise repeat above process. Less than or equal to 6 mm, a force of 50 N + 2N is applied, and if the size of the maximum protruding part is larger than 6 mm, a force of 90 N + 2N is applied.Put on pounds in 5 seconds and keep for 10 seconds.
Judgment criteria: toys designed for small children who can’t sit up alone should not be cracked,if the crack does not cause damage obviously,it is acceptable.Toys designed for children under 3 years should not produce small parts, contactable sharp point and sharp edge. Masks and helmets should not have exposed cusps, edges, or loose materials that can enter the eye. Oral toys and toys used in the water should not produce small parts.
Equipment: Large Torque Fixture, Middle Torque Fixture, Small Torque Fixture, Torque Gauge
