Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Fourth Revision) which is identical with ISO 8124-1 : 2018 ‘Safety of toys - Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Plastics Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1981 which was based on BS 5665-1 : 1979 (EN 71-1 : 1978) ‘Safety of toys, Part 1 Mechanical and physical properties’, issued by the British Standards Institution. First revision of this standard was carried out in 2001 which was identical with ISO 8124-1 : 2000. Second revision of this standard was carried out in 2012 which was identical with ISO 8124-1 : 2009. Third revision of this standard was carried out in 2017 which was identical with ISO 8124-1 : 2014. The fourth revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 8124-1 : 2018.

A list of the main technical changes made to the third revision is given in Annex G.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 2 Flammability

Part 3 Migration of certain elements

Part 4 Swings, slides and similar activity toys for indoor and outdoor family domestic use

Part 5 Determination of total concentration of certain elements in toys

Part 6 Determination of certain phthalate esters in toys and children’ s products

Part 7 Requirements and test methods for finger paints

Part 8 Age determination guidelines (under print)

Part 9 Certain phthalate esters in toys and children’ s products

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
