As children's toys, rocking horses must strictly adhere to national standards and the safety requirements for children's use, mainly covering the following aspects:
1. Structural Stability:
The curved design of the base must pass mechanical testing to ensure it is not easily tipped over when rocking, and the center of gravity remains within the supporting surface.
The static load-bearing capacity must be at least 1.5 times the child's weight (usually indicated by the applicable age and weight range).
2. Material Safety:
Plastic parts must comply with GB 6675 (Toy Safety Standard) and be free of harmful substances such as BPA and phthalates.
Wooden products must have a smooth, burr-free surface, and the paint must pass the EN71-3 heavy metal migration test.
Metal parts must be rust-proofed and have no sharp edges.
3. Protective Design:
Anti-slip handrails and footrests must be provided to prevent children from slipping.
Infant models (e.g., under 1 year old) require a high barrier or safety belt for securing the child.
Moving parts (such as rotatable horse ears) must avoid the risk of pinching fingers.
4. Environmental Suitability:
Outdoor models must indicate waterproof and UV protection ratings; indoor models must specify floor protection measures (such as anti-slip mats).
Electric rocking horses must meet electrical safety standards, and the battery compartment must be sealed.
