3.3 Reasonably foreseeable abuse
The way of use of the toy in a method not recommended by the supplier, BUT may occur under normal circumstances, including the normal free behavior of children such as combining toys.

[Source: GB 6675.4-2014, 3.2] […]
5 Judgment of accessible
When considering possible exposure routes for toy products, it shall include swallowing, licking, sucking, prolonged contact with human skin, etc. After normal use according to GB 6675.2 or reasonably foreseeable abuse tests, carry out judgement of the accessible, in accordance with GB 6675.2. If the part is accessible OR can be touched by any part before the shoulder of the touchable probe, it is considered to be accessible.
Note: GB 6675.2 stipulates that certain specific toy products need to be tested for reasonably foreseeable abuse for all age groups. Example:
There is a sticker on a toy; the glue on the sticker is a plasticized material. After passing the reasonably foreseeable test of GB 6675.2, the glue is judged to be accessible.
Since the glue and the attached paper cannot be effectively separated physically, it shall take sample as a whole.

Taking into account the normal and predictable behavior of children, if certain toys and toy parts can obviously exclude the possibility of swallowing, licking, sucking, prolonged contact with the skin, etc., due to their accessibility, function, mass, size or other characteristics, THEN, it is not considered accessible.
Example 1: The wires which play the role of charging adaptor OR connect the external devices.
Example 2: The exposed wires at the bottom of electric baby stroller, which has not been encapsulated.
