Why do plastic animal toys have different test costs sometimes?

We are often asked why the same product's test costs are sometimes different. Especially for our plastic animal toy products with the largest shipment at present, the quantity and style ordered by customers may be different each time, and even the purpose of each test is different, which will lead to the difference in test cost. Here is mainly to explain the reasons that lead to these cost differences.

• Test Purposes: The difference between obtaining certificates and general security tests.
• Test Content: The difference in how much content is grouped is tested.
• The difference between the length of the required test time.

The test purpose of plastic animal toys

Before the production of all our plastic animal toys, all the materials and product structures have been evaluated and screened. All the materials are made of environmentally-friendly and non-toxic resin materials. Non-toxic is the most used in animal toy products, because compared with other materials, non-toxic has lower cost and is easy to process, especially for animal toy models, which can better restore the original details of animals, such as animal eyes, hair details, action characteristics and so on. The product structure will not have bad designs that may endanger children's physical and mental health, such as sharp point, or sharp edges.
It is precisely because our products meet the safety specifications before production and scientific and reasonable production process control. Therefore, in order to reduce costs, most customers usually just choose routine physical and chemical tests to prove the safety of products. such as EN71-1/2/3;
However, some customers need to obtain CE certificate from European market to help them obtain sales qualification, so that the content of the test will comply with toys directive 2009/48/EC's instructions on adding 10P phthalate and packaging requirements.
Therefore, the cost of testing with CE needs will be higher than that of general safety testing.

The mandatory and optional requirements of test content for plastic animal toys

For our customers, we understand that cost is a crucial factor in any purchasing decision. so we have to indicate the cost difference between the mandatory and optional requirements of test content for plastic animal toys. It's quit an important matter to help customer to make an informed choice.

Mandatory Requirements: Ensuring Safety at Every Step

When it comes to manufacturing plastic animal toys, safety is our utmost priority. The mandatory requirements encompass rigorous testing processes that guarantee compliance with international safety standards. These tests ensure that our products are free from harmful substances, are durable, and do not pose any risks to children's health. While these tests are a necessary investment, they ensure the well-being of your child and provide you with peace of mind.

Optional Requirements: Elevating the Play Experience

In addition to the mandatory safety tests, we offer a range of optional requirements designed to enhance the play experience and overall value of our plastic animal toys. These optional tests encompass aspects such as durability, quality of materials, environmental sustainability, and educational features. While these tests are not mandatory, they set our products apart by adding extra value and ensuring a premium experience for your child.

The Impact of Test Time Difference on Plastic animal toy Test Cost

When it comes to the cost of testing plastic animal toys, one significant factor to consider is the impact of test time difference.
Any qualified third-party testing company has its own testing process and schedule control, because they have to face the testing requirements of different companies and products. If you need to get your product test results in advance, you need to use their express channel, and usually you need to pay multiple fees to get the test results you want within the time you need.
But it doesn't mean that all test items can be tested urgently. As you know, especially for some chemical tests, normal results can only be obtained after the necessary testing steps within a strict time limit. Any omitted test steps or insufficient test time may lead to incorrect test results. Incorrect test results will only mislead us to control the quality of plastic animal toys.
