Scope
GB/T 9832-2026 is the English-translated version of 毛绒、布制玩具.
GB/T 9832-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering soft toys - the fabrics and the filling, the strength of the seams and of the attachment of eyes and small parts, the colour fastness and the appearance, on a product that a small child will chew and pull apart if it can. It fixes the classification, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules and the marking. It replaces GB/T 9832-2007, a standard nineteen years old, and takes effect on 1 June 2027. It was issued on 25 May 2026 and takes effect on 1 June 2027, replacing GB/T 9832-2007. The document is under the responsibility of the China National Light Industry Council. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part
1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting. This document replaces GB/T 9832-2007 "Pluff and Fabric Toys". Compared with GB/T 9832-2007, the main differences are structural adjustments and editorial changes. Aside from the modifications, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) The definitions of exposed fabric and holes have been changed (see 3.4, 3.5, and
3.2 in the.2007 edition);
b) The terms "toys, plush and cloth toys, normal use, stuffing, impurities, flammability, highly flammable solids" have been added (see...). 3.1~3.3, 3.6~3.9);
c) Changes were made to "filler, strength and assembly quality of non-removable plastic parts, assembly strength of movable joints, function of movable joints, and seams". Technical requirements for "seam and fabric fastness" (see 4.3~4.7, 4.1~4.4,
4.10 in the.2007 edition);
d) The following were removed. "sewing quality, finished product appearance, holes, exposed base fabric, decorative lines, granular filling lining, functionality, integrity, and..." Technical requirements for "symmetry, color difference, dimensions, quality, paint adhesion, and surface finish of plastic parts" (see sections 4.5-
4.9 of the.2007 edition). (April 11-19)
e) Added technical requirements for "safety requirements, basic requirements, pH value, flame retardants, color fastness, sound generator, and electrical accessories" (see 4.1). 4.2, 4.8~4.12);
f) The test methods for "general tensile test and seam tensile test" have been changed (see 5.2, 5.3, and
5.2 in the.2007 version);
g) The test methods for "coating adhesion, dimensions, weight, and appearance inspection" have been deleted (see sections
5.4 of the.2007 edition);
4 Technical Requirements

4.2 Basic Performance Requirements The stitching should be smooth (this requirement does not apply to pleated stitching), with even stitches, and free from defects such as loose threads, skipped stitches, or broken threads. The finished product should have a neat appearance. Clean, free of impurities and stains. The pile is neatly combed, with no loose threads or lint caught in the seams that would significantly affect the appearance. In its natural state, it should not have obvious... Holes that affect appearance. Plush fabric should not have noticeable exposed backing fabric. Plastic parts should have no obvious color difference, deformation, shrinkage marks, bubbles, delamination, or burrs on the surface. Defects such as cracks and scratches.
4.3 Filler
4.3.1 Requirements for filler materials and contaminants The filling material should be brand new or sterilized; if plant seeds are used, they must be inactivated. There should be no metal or sharp objects present. Hazardous impurities such as metal shavings, nails, needles, wood chips, broken glass, or plastic fragments are not permitted. There should be no contaminants from insects, birds, or other sources. Rodent excrement or other unsanitary substances; arthropod and cockroach egg cases that can transmit diseases or harm health should not be present; There is noticeable dust.
4.3.2 Impurities After testing the impurity content of the filler according to method 5.4, no impurities should be detected.
4.3.3 Filling quality The filler should be evenly packed, of moderate softness and hardness, and free from lumps, gaps, or other defects.
4.4 Rigidity and assembly quality of non-removable plastic parts Plastic parts in plush and fabric toys are securely assembled. When tested according to
5.2 and subjected to the following forces, they will not shatter or separate. Small parts. When the maximum accessible size is less than or equal to 6mm, the applied force is 70N; when the maximum accessible size is greater than 6mm, the applied force is... The force applied is 90N.
