Toxic Metals in Toys 

NMI provides a testing service in accordance with AS 8124.3:2003 which is concerned with the migration of antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium from toy materials and other parts of toys (but excluding materials not accessible unless the toy is dismantled).

 

Maximum acceptable levels are specified for the migration of these elements from a range of toy materials and the NMI report will reference the testing result in terms of compliance with the acceptance levels of the individual elements.
