On 15 January 2016, Hong Kong published a press release announcing an update of applicable and acceptable safety standards for toys and four categories of children's products falling under the Toys and Children's Products Safety Ordinance (Chapter 242). These standards are international standards or standards adopted by major economies.
The Ordinance stipulates that a person must not manufacture, import or supply a toy or Schedule 2 product unless it complies with all the applicable requirements contained in any one set of the safety standards specified in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively to the Ordinance. These standards are international standards or standards adopted by major economies.
The amended list of new standards will take effect on 1 October, 2016.
Highlights of the amendment are summarized in Table 1.
