Safety of toys - Part 8: Age determination - First age grade for the appropriate play of toys (ISO/TR 8124-8:2024)
This document provides an indication of the lowest age at which children start playing with toys in specific toy sub-categories. It is primarily directed to manufacturers and agencies that evaluate the compliance of toys with safety standards.
This document can be used as a reference to determine the appropriateness of toys by earliest age, for use by distributors, institutions and organizations involved with child play, as well as by paediatric institutions, teachers, other professionals that use toys in their routine activities, and consumers.
The age at which children develop different abilities is unique for each individual child. This document illustrates the age ranges during which a typical child has developed certain abilities.
Although age grading has safety implications, this document is not intended to address specific safety requirements. Specific safety requirements for toys (e.g. restriction of the presence of small parts and small balls in toys intended for certain age groups, due to the choking hazard) can be found in the ISO 8124 series and in other regional toy safety standards and regulations.
Sicherheit von Spielzeug - Teil 8: Leitlinien zur Alterseinstufung (ISO/TR 8124-8:2024)
Dieses Dokument enthält Angaben zum geringsten Alter, in dem Kinder beginnen, mit Spielzeug bestimmter Unterkategorien zu spielen. Es richtet sich hauptsächlich an Hersteller und Dienststellen, die die Übereinstimmung von Spielzeug mit Sicherheitsnormen bewerten.
Dieses Dokument kann durch Händler, Einrichtungen und Organisationen, die sich mit Kinderspiel befassen, sowie durch pädiatrische Einrichtungen, Lehrer und andere Fachkräfte, die Spielzeug während ihrer normalen Tätigkeiten verwenden, sowie durch Verbraucher als Referenz verwendet werden, um die Eignung von Spielzeug hinsichtlich des frühestmöglichen Alters zu bestimmen.
Das Alter, in dem Kinder verschiedene Fähigkeiten entwickeln, ist bei jedem einzelnen Kind ein anderes. Dieses Dokument stellt die Altersspannen dar, innerhalb derer ein Kind typischerweise bestimmte Fähigkeiten entwickelt hat.
Obwohl die Alterseinstufung sicherheitsrelevante Auswirkungen hat, ist dieses Dokument nicht dafür vorgesehen, spezielle Sicherheitsanforderungen zu behandeln. Spezielle Sicherheitsanforderungen für Spielzeug (z. B. Begrenzung des Vorhandenseins von Kleinteilen und kleinen Kugeln in Spielzeug für bestimmte Altersgruppen aufgrund der Gefährdung durch Ersticken) können der Normenreihe ISO 8124 und anderen regionalen Normen und Bestimmungen zur Sicherheit von Spielzeug entnommen werden.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
