August 25–27, 2026 – The Intertextile China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories (Autumn/Winter) Expo was successfully held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). With a total exhibition area of 240,000 square meters, and about 4000 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions, this edition provided an efficient platform for the textile industry to seize the “golden September and silver October” market cycle and unlock new drivers for growth.
As a key representative at the booth of the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification, CMA Testing participated throughout the event, engaging in in‑depth exchanges with numerous exhibitors and visitors. Established in 1979, we are a leading third‑party quality assurance center in Hong Kong, consistently dedicated to providing professional and reliable testing and sustainability services for the textile, fabrics, and accessories sectors.
During the exhibition, we highlighted a range of service capabilities, including:
- EU PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) compliance testing
- PFAS restricted substances testing for textiles
- ESG services
- Carbon management and carbon footprint accounting
These services are designed to help fabric and accessory suppliers effectively respond to domestic and international regulatory requirements, offering end‑to‑end support from compliance to green transformation.
Leveraging Hong Kong’s international platform, CMA Testing will continue to empower companies in expanding their global market presence and contribute to the high‑quality development of the textile industry.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all friends who visited us during the exhibition. Looking ahead, we look forward to joining hands with more partners to build a safe, green, and sustainable textile industry chain.
Beyond Paper Promises – Making Sustainability Real
2026 is a year to review commitments – and, more importantly, a turning point for action.
This year at Rethink 2026, we’re taking a fresh perspective with our theme:
From Verification to Sustainable Solutions
– moving boldly from “compliance checking” to scalable, measurable, and profitable sustainability solutions.
Sustainability transformation is not just about carbon figures on a report – it’s a concrete demonstration of business resilience and competitiveness. At our exhibition booth, we’ll use real‑world cases and interactive displays to show you that sustainability is not only a responsibility, but also a powerful driver of innovation.

See You in Hong Kong – Let’s Rethink Together
We are pleased to announce that CMA Testing was honored with the “A Model for World Chinese Quality Culture Construction (Organization)” award at the 11th World Summit for Chinese Quality 2026. The Summit, organized by the World Alliance of Chinese Quality (WACQ) and hosted by the Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) , was held under the theme “AI for Quality (AI4Q): Leading the Future of Excellence” , bringing together quality experts from across the Chinese community to explore the integration of artificial intelligence and quality management.
Since our establishment in 1979, we have upheld professionalism, integrity, and social responsibility as our core values, leveraging internationally accredited testing, inspection, and certification capabilities to bridge Chinese enterprises with global quality standards, including our traditional Chinese medicine and pCm testing services. Guided by our three core pillars — Better World, Passionately Curious, and Perfectly Scaled — we remain committed to safeguarding product safety and public trust.
In advancing Chinese quality culture, we played a key role in developing the “Care Food GBA Standard” — the first GBA standard in the silver economy sector led by Hong Kong. Translating the Chinese cultural values of family and elderly care into action, we champion the vision of “Dining Together with Dignity” , ensuring that every elderly individual enjoys warmth and respect at the dining table.
We are also at the forefront of promoting green testing, technology commercialisation, and industrial upgrading, and are proud to be among the inaugural members of the “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Carbon Footprint Alliance,” working collaboratively to build a green ecological bay area.
This recognition affirms our team’s unwavering dedication to quality and the inheritance of Chinese cultural values. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage quality as a bridge to connect the global Chinese community and contribute to the high-quality development of the silver economy, cross-border trade, and the Greater Bay Area.

On October 5, 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) officially released the four mandatory national standards GB 6675.1–4:2025 Toy Safety. The new standards will come into force on November 1, 2026, fully replacing the GB 6675.1–4:2014 series that has been in use for more than a decade. The revised standards significantly strengthen safety requirements and will reshape toy design, manufacturing, testing, and market access in China.
Key Revisions of the New Standard
1. Significant Expansion of Chemical Safety Requirements
GB 6675.4–2025 introduces limits for more than ten additional hazardous substances, including boron, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). It also formally defines soft compound toys such as crystal slime, slime, modeling clay, and squeeze toys, specifies applicable test methods, and improves the criteria for determining accessible parts as well as layered sampling and testing of coatings and substrates.
| Test Item | GB 6675.1-2014 (Old) | GB 6675.4-2025 (New) |
| Migratable Elements | Sb, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Se (8) | Sb, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Se, Boron (9). Boron applies to modeling clay, slime, crystal slime and similar toys. |
| Phthalates | 6 (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP) | 10 (adds DIBP, DPENP, DHEXP, DCHP) |
| Formaldehyde | Not required | Applies to accessible textiles, leather/fur, paper and water-based materials (except finger paints) intended for children under 36 months. |
| AZO Dyes | Not required | Banned in textiles worn by children and in direct skin contact. |
| PAHs | Not required | 8 PAHs controlled in rubber/plastic parts. |
| N-Nitrosamines | Not required | Applies to elastomer parts intended for mouthing or accessible elastomer parts for toys for children under 36 months. |
| Formamide | Not required | Applies to foam materials in toys intended for children under 36 months. |
| SCCPs | Not required | Applies to accessible PVC materials. |
| VOC & TVOC | Not required | Applies to all toy categories except untreated solid wood and pure metal toys. |
| Allergenic Fragrances | Not required | Applies to all scented toys. |
2. Mechanical and Physical Safety
GB 6675.2-2025 adopts ISO 8124-1:2022 with modifications, updating requirements for small parts, sharp points, cords, projectile toys, yo-yos, inflatable toys, and food-imitation toys. It also introduces tip-over tests for large heavy toys and provisions for toys using open flames.
3. Expanded Flammability Requirements
GB 6675.3-2025 adds flammability test methods for face masks, toy tents, dress-up costumes, and stuffed toys, improving fire safety requirements for textile and soft materials.
4. Transition Period
From November 1, 2026, all newly manufactured or imported toys must comply with the new standards. Products manufactured or imported before that date in compliance with the old standards may continue to be sold until October 31, 2027.
Reminder
The revised GB 6675 introduces more than ten new chemical test items, with particular focus on slime toys, electric toys, children’s textile products, foam toys, and food-imitation toys. Manufacturers are advised to conduct compliance assessments and pre-testing as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition.
