出口玩具年龄标识规范解析：生产企业必须掌握的三大要点
近日宁波出口玩具不合格案例警示
Warning from Recent Non-compliant Toy Export Case in Ningbo
近日，宁波一家企业出口荷兰的一批木制玩具套装因配件尺寸问题被判定为不合格产品，造成重大经济损失。该批产品为木制玩具车套装，部分可拆卸配件被欧盟检测认为存在"小零件"安全隐患。
Recently, a batch of wooden toy sets exported to the Netherlands by a Ningbo company was deemed non-compliant due to accessory size issues, resulting in significant economic losses. The product was a wooden toy car set with detachable parts that EU inspectors identified as posing a "small parts" safety hazard.
年龄标识争议成焦点
Age Labeling Dispute Becomes Key Issue
尽管企业标注适用年龄为3岁以上，但荷兰官方依据最新法规认定产品适用于3岁以下儿童，导致产品被强制下架。这凸显了出口玩具年龄标识准确性的重要性。
Although labeled for children over 3 years old, Dutch authorities determined the product was suitable for under-3s based on new regulations, leading to mandatory removal from shelves. This highlights the importance of accurate age labeling for export toys.
宁波玩具出口数据
Ningbo Toy Export Statistics
今年1-8月，宁波口岸玩具出口超60亿元，同比增长25%。但随着欧美市场监管趋严，质量通报和召回事件频发，企业需提高警惕。
From January to August this year, Ningbo's toy exports exceeded 6 billion yuan, up 25% year-on-year. However, with stricter EU/US market regulations, quality notifications and recalls are increasing, requiring manufacturer vigilance.
检验检疫部门三大建议

专家特别强调，玩具适用年龄判定不能仅凭企业主观判断，必须严格参照进口国最新标准进行测试认证。
Experts particularly stress that toy age determination cannot rely solely on manufacturer judgment but must strictly follow the importing country's latest standards for testing and certification.
