This new standard, jointly published by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand on 2021-02-12, supersedes its predecessors AS/NZS 8124.3:2012 and AS/NZS ISO 8124.3:2012 AMD 1:2016.

The standard identically adopts ISO 8124-3:2020, which specifies maximum acceptable levels and methods of sampling, extraction and determination for the migration of the elements: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium from toy materials and from parts of toys.

Packaging materials are not included for applying the standard, unless they are intended to be kept, for example boxes and containers, or unless they form part of the toy or have intended play value.

Migration Values:
Migration values (in mg/kg) for the eight elements in AS/NZS ISO 8124.3:2021 are summarized in the table.
