新华社布鲁塞尔1月25日电 欧盟委员会25日提出一项关于玩具安全规则的新建议，旨在进一步加强欧盟市场上的玩具安全。
欧盟委员会负责企业和工业的副主席费尔霍伊根在记者发布会上介绍说，新规则是在1988年5月欧盟颁布的《玩具安全指令》基础上修改而来的，修改的重点是加强涉及化学物质的玩具安全。
费尔霍伊根说，修改旧的玩具安全规则主要希望达到以下目标：提出能应对新危险的更高安全标准；加强玩具制造商和进口商对玩具安全的责任；增强欧盟成员国的市场监督。
新规则主要禁止使用易引发癌症、致突变或妨害生育的化学物质；降低铅或汞等化学物质的使用限量；禁止使用导致过敏反应的香水，禁止食品与玩具结合的设计等。新规则还要求玩具制造商为其生产的所有玩具建立全面技术信息，以方便市场监督机构的检查。
根据新规则，进口商有责任确保进口到欧盟市场上的玩具安全，欧盟成员国承担起市场监督和边界检查的义务，并对违背新规则的玩具制造商或进口商实施惩罚。
欧盟委员会提出的这项建议还有待欧洲议会和欧盟理事会通过。费尔霍伊根说，他希望建议能在今年年底前获得通过。

3 月6 日，美參議院通過一項法案，對進口玩具實行更嚴格的檢驗制度。本法案號召消
費者支持並幫助CPSC 對來自海外的玩具產品的安全性實行認證管理，禁止含鉛的兒童產品
入境，並制訂新的玩具安全標準。本法案已由參眾兩院通過投票表決。該法案包括：
1、加倍提高主管機構的經費預算和增加人員編制，向社會各有關部門和個人收集案例
資料，建立新的資訊資料庫；
2、CPSC 還將制定新的工作程式，對檢測玩具實驗室進行認證和監督，確保檢測結果符
合美國安全標準；
3、法案還授權該委員會加大對違規者的處罰力度，個案處罰標準由8 千美元提高到25
萬美元，對屢次違規者處以180 萬美元到2000 萬美元的罰款；
4、禁止主管部門工作人員的旅行費用由被管理的公司和企業支付；
5、禁止塑膠玩具含有損害人體健康的鄰苯二甲酸等化學成分。
此法案中提到的：玩具產品的安全性實行認證管理指的是美國玩具產業協會(TIA)與美國
國家標準協會(ANSI)共同宣佈了一項新的玩具測試和安全認證系統計畫（(Toy Safety

2、對玩具生產商實施分級審核和強制認證；
3、對玩具產品實施安全測試及報告要求；計畫認證等。
該計畫適用於所有投放美國市場的玩具產品。我對美玩具出口將面臨更為嚴峻的形勢。 去年东莞整顿出口产品质量许可证时，我公司就被整了，我们大部份的产品都是销往欧盟的玩具，但，我们没有EN71跌落地板，只有ASTMf963地板，因为这个，被开了三个严重不符合项。 引用第124楼luguirong于2008-03-19 21:19发表的:

哈哈，系統沒做好！！！ 澳大利亚联邦更新材料
澳大利亚暂时禁止珠类玩具以及新南威尔士州永久禁止含铅玩具
2007年，召回大批含1,4-丁二醇或含铅的玩具吸引了全球消费群的关注。澳大利亚禁止含1,4-丁二醇的珠类玩具是因为1,4-丁二醇在体内代谢成为一种液体迷幻剂—伽玛-羟 基丁酸（也称为g-羟基丁酸或4-羟基丁酸）。此代谢产物—伽玛-羟基丁酸会导致吞食了玩具后儿童患上病。相关中毒症状包括嗜睡、意识下 降、突发痉挛或抽搐。
2008年2月7日，竞争政策暨消费者事务部部长宣布了为期18个月的禁止令——禁止含1,4-丁二 醇的珠类玩具供应（表1）。通知同时允许玩具供应商可要求澳洲竞争暨消费者委员会（ACCC）召开有关此次禁止的会议。同时，新南威尔士州（NSW）的公平贸易部 长于2008年1月宣布了永久禁止 供应和销售含过量可溶性铅（可转移 铅）的玩具。禁 止此类玩具 的决议是因为一项研究，该研究显示，在暂时禁止期 间，部分玩具因含有不可接受含量的铅而被召回。永久 禁令将生效，直到在联邦完成审核后和引进强制安全标准用于新南威尔士州（表1）。

来源：塑胶资讯 发表日期:2008-03-24
近日，美国消费品安全委员会与S.U. Wholesale公司联合宣布对中国产X Force Commander玩具飞机和Super Famous玩具汽车、摩托车实施自愿性召回。
此次被召回的“X Force Commander”玩具塑料飞机为每套6架，分绿、红、蓝、银、黑和黄6种颜色，产品编号5689标在外包装上；“Super Famous”玩具为1辆黄或红色汽车和1辆灰色摩托车的组合。这些玩具自2006年9月～2007年11月在全美的Dollar店销售，单价为1美元/套。
此次被召回的商品数量约为5000套。召回原因为，该玩具表面油漆铅含量超标，违反了联邦含铅涂料标准。目前，S.U. Wholesale公司尚未收到任何事故报告。美国消费品安全委员会建议消费者立即将被召回的玩具远离儿童，并与零售店联系退货及全额退款。 美国玩具业响起紧箍咒
来源：人民网-国际金融报 发表日期:2008-03-26
美国华盛顿州议员以压倒性多数通过了一项法案，将对儿童用品中的含铅量设定为美国国内最为严格的标准。此举不啻给玩具行业敲响了警钟。
该法案将把玩具和其他产品中的允许含铅量降至百万分之90，甚至有可能降至美国儿科学会建议的百万分之40，远远低于目前百万分之600的联邦标准。
法案还对用于涂料和塑料中的镉含量以及塑料软化化学物邻苯二甲酸盐含量设定了严格的标准。一些研究显示，后者同儿童的发育问题有关。
一些小型玩具制造商表示，如果华盛顿州长、***党人克利斯?格雷戈爱尔如期在今后几天里签署这项法案，他们计划停止在该州销售产品。他们称，根据此法律进行产品安全认证的成本将高得惊人。华盛顿州占美国玩具总销售额的2%左右，按去年的年收入核算，约为235亿美元。
知情人士透露，美国最大的两家玩具制造商??美泰公司和Hasbro Inc.的代表3月17日同格雷戈爱尔举行了会晤，试图为阻止此项法案通过作最后一次努力。这些人士称，在会上及其他场合，美泰公司都向华盛顿州的官员表示，如果通过这部法律，美泰旗下Fisher-Price子公司生产的一半产品都会被该州禁止。新的规定将在2009年7月生效。
代表70多家公司的美国玩具工业协会表示，如果该法案成为法律，不论大玩具厂家还是小厂家向该州发送产品都会变得无利可图。自去年夏季美泰和其他厂家因含铅涂料和存在窒息危险而召回了数百万件儿童玩具以来，不只华盛顿州的州议会爆发玩具安全性之争。
当儿童将含铅玩具含到口中时，就可能发生危险。很多人都将责任归咎到了美国公司的中国合同制造商那里。上周，阿迪达斯旗下的锐步公司支付了100万美元罚金，同美国消费者商品安全委员会达成了和解。此前，一名4岁男孩吞下了该公司随运动鞋附赠的、受铅污染的手链，最终因铅中毒而夭折。
美国国会正在考虑新的联邦铅含量标准和其他玩具安全标准，但对29个州议会的法案提议者来说，国会的行动还不够快。
