NATIONAL FOREWORD

This standard (Part 6) (Second Revision) which is identical to ISO 8124-6 : 2023 'Safety of toys - Part 6: Certain phthalate esters' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Toys and Related Test Methods Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coals and Related Products Division Council.

This standard was first published in 2017 which was identical with ISO 8124-6 : 2014 and subsequently revised in 2021. This revision has been brought out to align it with the latest version of ISO 8124-6. The following major modifications have been incorporated to the revision of the standard:

a) Removal of 'children's products' from the title, scope and other parts of this draft Indian Standard;

b) Addition of new definitions for instrument detection limit in 3.9 and action limit in 3.11;

c) Replacement of '4 °C' with '0 °C to 8 °C' in 5.3, 5.4, 5.5.2 and 5.5.3;

d) Addition of the composite test in 7.3 and 9.2;

e) Addition of the maximum total mass of composite test portions for the composite test in 8.2.2;

f) Addition of a clean-up procedure in 8.4.1;

g) The volume of the final solution adjusted from 1 ml to 50 ml in 8.4.2.1, 8.4.2.2.1 and 8.4.2.2.2;

h) Addition of the composite test mathematic model in Annex D; and

j) Addition of a list including other phthalate esters in G.2.

This standard has been published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties

Part 2 Flammability

art 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 7 Requirements and test methods for finger paints

Part 8 Age determination guidelines

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

Part 10 Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities

Part 11 Chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies 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'; and

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.
