RoHS Testing for Toys & Children Products — Safety, Compliance
Ensure your toys meet RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements. We test for restricted heavy metals and flame retardants commonly regulated in children's products and provide clear, accredited reports for global markets.
- Accredited Methods
ICP-OES / ICP-MS, GC-MS for organics ✓ - Fast Turnaround
Express options for urgent shipments ✓
- Clear Reporting
Pass/fail, concentration values, recommendations ✓ - Regulatory Support
Guidance for EU, India, US markets ✓
- Preparation: Visual inspection & sample splitting.
- Extraction/Digestion: Acid digestion for metals.
- Analysis: ICP-MS/OES for Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr (VI), Br-containing flame retardants by GC-MS if applicable.
- Reporting: Concentration (mg/kg) or % with limits and pass/fail.
- Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, Hg): Quantitative analysis using ICP-MS/OES with low detection limits to meet RoHS thresholds.
- Chromium VI: Specific extraction and colorimetric or chromatographic methods to detect Cr(VI).
- Brominated Flame Retardants: GC-MS screening for PBDEs and other BFRs often restricted under RoHS variants.
How the Testing Process Works
- Inquiry: Tell us about the toy (material, intended market, number of samples).
- Sampling: Send whole products or specific components. We provide guidance on sample size.
- Analysis: Accredited labs perform digestion/extraction and instrumental analysis.
- Report & Support: Receive a clear report. We help interpret results and recommend corrective steps.

Do I need to test the whole toy or only parts?
For many regulations, representative testing of parts (paint, plastic, metal) is acceptable. We advise on sampling based on material and risk. -
How long does testing take?
Standard panels take 5–10 working days; express testing is available for an additional fee. -
Can you help if my toy fails?
Yes — we provide actionable recommendations and re-test options after corrective actions.
