Infant and Toddler Product Inspection | Toy Scooters Inspection Standards and Requirements

Toy scooters are designed specifically for children. They typically offer good stability and a low speed, making them suitable for play and physical coordination. The quality and safety of toy scooters are directly related to children's personal safety while playing, as well as the market reputation of the toy scooter manufacturer or brand. Therefore, they must be inspected before leaving the factory. So, how do you inspect toy scooters? How do you inspect toy scooters?

1. Material quality inspection

1. Visual inspection :

   • All materials should be clean and free of contamination

   • Use normal corrected vision and no magnifying device

2. Structural strength test

2.1 Static strength test

1. Test method :

   • Place a cylindrical load in the center of the pedal

   • Load specifications:

     • Bottom diameter: 150±10mm

     • Height: 300±10mm

     • Center of gravity height: 150±10mm

2. Load weight :

   • For children weighing ≤ 20 kg: (50 ± 0.5) kg

   • Other scooters: (100±1)kg

3. Test time : 5 minutes

4. Eligibility criteria :

   • No hazardous sharp edges that can be touched

   • No exposure to dangerous driving mechanisms

   • No collapse

2.2 Dynamic strength test

1. Test principle :

   • Simulate arm holding the handle

   • Drive the toy into a non-elastic step 3 times

2. Load configuration :

   • Weight of each simulated arm: (2±0.02)kg

   • Mat weight: (0.5±0.01)kg

   • Total load:

     • For children weighing 20-50kg: load A (50±0.5)kg, total weight 54.5kg

     • For children weighing ≤ 20 kg: load B (25 ± 0.2) kg, total weight 29.5 kg

3. Qualification standard : Same as static strength test

3. Handlebar strength test

3.1 Downward force test

1. Scooters with handlebars :

   • Apply a (50±0.5)kg load to the middle of each handle and hold for 5 minutes

   • Secondary locking device test: (25±0.2)kg load

2. Handleless scooters :

   • Apply (100±1)kg and (50±0.5)kg loads to the top of the riser

3. Eligibility criteria :

   • The stem does not collapse

   • The locking device is working properly

3.2 Upward force test

1. Scooters with handlebars :

   • Apply (25±0.2)kg load to each handle

2. Handleless scooters :

   • Apply a (50±0.5)kg load to the top of the riser

3. Test time : 5 minutes

3.3 Cross tube connection strength

1. Test method :

   • Apply a force of (90±5)N in opposite directions at both ends of the crossbar.

   • Hold for 5 minutes

2. Qualification standard : The horizontal tube does not separate

4. Three-wheeled scooter stability test

1. Test conditions :

   • Place on a 10±0.5° smooth slope

   • When the wheel center distance is greater than 150mm, use a 50kg load.

2. Load position :

   • Center of gravity height: 220±10mm above the sitting surface

   • Front and rear position: 43±3mm backward from the front end of the seat or 43±3mm forward from the rear end

3. Qualification standard : No dumping within 1 minute

V. Requirements for Adjustable/Foldable Components

1. Handlebar adjustment :

   • Tools are required to adjust or

   • At least 1 main and 1 auxiliary locking device

2. Folding mechanism :

   • Must be equipped with a locking device

3. Moving Parts Clearance :

   • If it can insert a 5mm round rod, it must also be able to insert a 12mm round rod.

   • The accessible opening cannot be inserted into a 5mm round rod

6. Braking system test

6.1 Handbrake test

1. Test conditions :

   • Load: (50±5)kg

   • Bevel: 10±1°, with P60 sandpaper

   • Apply force: middle of handbrake lever (30±2)N

2. Eligibility criteria :

   • Holding force <50N

   • Smooth deceleration without sudden stops

6.2 Foot brake test

1. Test conditions :

   • Load: (25±2)kg

   • Bevel: 10±1°, with P60 sandpaper

   • Force applied: middle of foot brake lever (20±1)kg

2. Eligibility criteria : Same as handbrake

7. Wheel size requirements

• Front wheel diameter must be ≥90mm

8. Safety requirements

1. After all tests, there should be no:

   • Dangerous sharp edges

   • Dangerous driving mechanism exposure

   • Structural collapse or failure

2. The locking device must remain in working order
