Certain elements consisting of antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) are found a lot in children’s toys. The migration of these elements can be harmful to a child’s health if exposed orally or ingested accidentally or deliberately. As a result, the maximum levels of migration of certain elements are regulated in national and international regulations.

How SIG can Help

SIG laboratory provides migration of certain elements testing services in toy matrices according to the SNI ISO 8124-3:2020 standard methods.

Following of certain elements resulting from the use of toys:

• Antimony (Sb)
• Arsenic (As)
• Barium (Ba)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Chromium (Cr)
• Lead (Pb)
• Mercury (Hg)
• Selenium (Se)

Method of Analysis

Migration of certain elements tests analysis in toys matrices using the ICP-OES or ICP-MS method.
