GROUPING/SAMPLING GUIDELINES 1. For the purpose of certification, toys have been classified into 2 types. For each type, one primary standard shall apply against which licence would be granted and the other standards against which testing may also be required to be done shall be taken as secondary standards. However, testing will be considered by the lab based on both the primary and secondary standards applicable. The classification is as follows: Sl. No. Type Primary Standard Applicable Secondary Standards (As Applicable) 1 Non Electric Toys IS 9873 Part 1 IS 9873 Parts 2, 3,4, 7 and 9 2 Electric Toys IS 15644 IS 9873 Parts 1, 2, 3,4, 7 and 9 2. Further, based on their specific purpose and function, toys have also been classified into 7 Categories and 146 sub-categories as per APPENDIX I (based on IS 9873 (Part8):2019). 3. For the purpose of certification, all varieties of toys of similar design 1 , made from the same materials 2 and covered under a single sub-category, shall be considered as a series (group of varieties). 4. Accordingly, the following sampling or grouping guidelines shall be followed for

drawal and testing of samples for consideration of Grant of Licence (GOL) and Change in Scope of Licence(CSoL): Sl. No. Type Samples to be drawn and tested for GOL/CSoL 1 Non Electric Toys Sample (of required quantity) of any one model of toy from among all the models in the same series i.e.of same type, similar design 1 , made from the same materials 2 and covered under a single sub- category to be drawn and tested for considering GOL or CSOL. 2 Electric Toys Electric toys are further sub-divided into the following PM/ 9873/11 Oct 2023 4 sub-groups according to input source:  Battery operated  Transformer toys  Dual-supply toys Accordingly the following shall apply: — To cover all the models of battery operated electric toys, one model of battery operated electric toy from among all models of battery operated electric toys having the same power supply layout, same chassis, same power requirement and same battery type &size, processor/ controller (if any), same charger for externally rechargeable batteries (Alternate models of charger may be evaluated as part of the main product and mentioned in the test report), and in the same series (as per Sl No 1) to be

drawn and tested for considering GOL orCSOL. — To cover all the models of Transformer toys, one model of transformer toy from among all models of Transformer toys having the Same mains layout or SMPS board, Same enclosure (except for differences of decorative parts which do not affect the electrical safety), Same processor/ controller and in the same series (as per Sl No 1) to be drawn and tested for considering GOL or CSOL. — To cover all the models of Dual-supply toys, one model of dual supply toy from among all models of Dual-supply toys having Same mains layout or SMPS board, Same enclosure (except for differences of decorative parts which do not affect the electrical safety), Same chassis, Same battery type & size(Alternate models of batteries may be evaluated as part of the main product and mentioned in the test report), Same processor/ controller and in the same series (as per Sl No 1)to be drawn and tested for considering GOL or CSOL. Footnotes: 1 ―Similar Design pertains to models which have similar designs in terms of compliance to the safety requirements specified in the relevant Indian Standards. For electric toys, input source,

mains layout etc as given in the table above will also constitute design parameters. 2 ―Same materials pertain to material of the same nature (i.e. LLDPE or PVC or HDPE or Cotton Fabric etc.). PM/ 9873/11 Oct 2023 5 5. APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF LICENCE For manufacturers applying for grant of licence, a declaration/request as per format at APPENDIX II shall be submitted to BIS by the manufacturer through Manakonline, based on which the application shall be assessed and the scope of licence shall be defined by BIS. 6. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE IN SCOPE OF LICENCE For manufacturers applying for change in scope of licence i.e. addition of a new series in the scope of their licence, a declaration/request as per format at APPENDIX III shall be submitted to BIS by the manufacturer through Manakonline, based on which the application shall be assessed and the scope of licence shall be revised by BIS 7. APPLICATION FOR ADDITION OF NEW MODELS IN THE SERIES ALREADY COVERED IN THE SCOPE OF LICENCE Whenever a licensee intends to add new model(s) to a series already covered in the scope of licence, The declaration/request shall be submitted by the manufacturer as per APPENDIX IV through Manakonline and the information shall be noted by BIS and these additional models endorsed in the licence document by revising the

submission of the information to BIS Branch Office through Manakonline, the licensee may use the standard mark on toys with respect to such models without waiting for BIS to endorse the models in the licence. (Licensee shall be able to produce documentary proof of having submitted this information to BIS). However, in case any discrepancy is observed post-facto due to which it is viewed that the models are not to be endorsed in the scope (e.g. if the models do not belong to the series as declared), Head of BIS Branch Office concerned, may, after giving the licensee an opportunity to explain, direct the licensee to cease marking on the toys of the relevant models, or in case the toys are already marked and dispatched, issue directions for product recall. 8. However, if any variety of toy pertains to a category/sub-category which is not covered in the 7 Categories and 146 sub-categories as per Annex I, the manufacturer shall declare the same. In case of such varieties, the above sampling guidelines shall not apply and each such variety shall be required to be got tested from third party lab for covering them in the scope of licence.

9. With respect to the "Starting Age" mentioned in the grouping (Appendix-I), in case a manufacturer intends to declare a starting age higher than that specified in Appendix-I, it shall be ensured that the age grading so declared is reasonable and in accordance with the age grading guidelines given in IS 9873 (Part 1) to ensure that a toy is appropriate and safe at the various stages of physical and mental development of the child using the toy. In case a manufacturer is found to be declaring a higher age grading than that specified in Appendix-I simply in order to avoid testing of certain requirements, such requests shall not be entertained. PM/ 9873/11 Oct 2023 6 For example, starting age for teethers and teething rings is given as 4 months+ in Appendix-I. Further, the test for shape, size and strength (C. 5.3 of IS 9873 (Part 1):2019) of Squeeze toys, rattles, and certain other toys and components of toys (Cl. 4.5.1.2 of IS 9873 (Part 1):2019) is applicable only for teethers and teething toys intended for children under 18 months. In case any manufacturer declares a higher starting age for teethers or teething

toys, say, 18 months+ (to avoid the tests prescribed in the standard which are not applicable if the toy is age graded 18 months +.), such requests shall not be agreed as the age grading would not be reasonable. However, scope of licence should clearly mention the starting age applicable. 10. The Scope of Licence shall be restricted based on the manufacturing and testing capabilities of the manufacturer. 11. During the operation of the Licence, BO shall ensure that all the varieties covered in the Licence are tested in rotation and samples of toys of different colours are tested in rotation, to the extent possible..

Normal use: All toys shall be tested in accordance with the relevant tests in 5.1(general) to 5.22 (folding or sliding mechanisms) in order to ensure that risks as a result of normal wear and/or deterioration are minimized. Toys labelled as washable shall be subjected to washing in accordance with 5.23 (washable toys).After testing, the toy shall continue to conform to the relevant requirements of Clause 4 (requirements). ii. Reasonably foreseeable abuse: After normal use tests, toys intended for children under 96 months, unless otherwise stated, shall be tested in accordance with the relevant tests in 5.24 (reasonably foreseeable abuse tests) to ensure that risks as a result of reasonably foreseeable abuse are minimized. After testing, the toy shall continue to conform to the relevant requirements of Clause 4(requirements).

iii. Accessible clearances for movable segments as per Cl. 4.13.2 is applicable only for ride on toys where the potential for crushing of fingers or other appendages exists and not for smaller toys which prima-facie do not present risk of crushing fingers and appendages iv. Expanding Materials as per Cl. 4.3.2 test applies only to toys made from materials which absorb water and therefore poses a risk of choking of a child swallows the toy or part thereof and it expands in the airway. v. In case it is not practically possible to perform Compression test as per Cl 5.24.7 due to the design/size of the toy, it should be concluded that this test is not applicable for such toys.
