Australia - Limited Review of the Mandatory Safety Standard for Toys Containing Magnets

​The ACCC invites comments on the proposed updates to the mandatory standard for toys containing magnets (Consumer Goods (Toys Containing Magnets) Safety Standard 2020) (the mandatory standard). The mandatory standard first came into effect in 2010 and was last updated in 2020.​

The mandatory standard applies to new children's toys with magnets or magnetic components designed (or clearly intended) for play by children up to 14 years old. It mandates requirements for design, construction, testing and information labeling.​
