The government has imposed tough quality norms for imported toys and mandated certification of compliance by agencies accredited with Indian authorities — a move that can choke Chinese imports and boost local manufacture, but the Rs 5,000-crore local industry is worried about orders already booked for the festive season.

The comprehensive notification issued on September 1 prescribes norms for physical and mechanical properties, chemical content, flammability, and testing for indoor and outdoor toys for both electrically and mechanically operated ones — going far beyond the earlier norms. The notification by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) says import of toys shall be permitted freely only if the manufacturer abides by norms of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Compliance has to be certified by an independent laboratory approved by an accreditation authority under the Department of Science and Technology. This will hit import from China, which accounts for nearly 70% of toys available in the Indian market. Lob Gupta, CEO, Fun Toys, said the new norms will have a big impact.
