It adopts selected clauses from the AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2002 toy safety standard (definitions, projectile testing and breakage/small-part safety) but narrows one test so suction-cup checks apply only to projectiles with suction-cap tips. It matters because it reduces risks of eye injury, choking and toxic exposure and enables enforcement, recalls and penalties for non‑compliance."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c","history":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c/history","analysis":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/trade-practices-act-1974-consumer-protection-notice-no-16-of-2010-consumer-product-safety-standard-c/documents"}}
