emma_in_dreamStandards Australia sent useful information, and have lead me to the Department for Consumer and Employment Protection:
Thanks for your enquiry. The following standard may be relevant to you:
AS/NZS ISO 8124.3:2003 Safety of toys - Migration of certain elements
This part of ISO 8124 specifies maximum acceptable levels and methods of sampling and extraction prior to analysis for the migration of the elements antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and selenium from toy materials and from parts of toys, except materials not accessible.
Standards on their own are voluntary so you should refer to the regulatory authority in your state as to what mandatory requirements they may set for toys. In NSW this is the Office of Fair Trading www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au or 13 32 20.
Kind regards
