Pet toys are toys specially designed for pets. Pet toys exported to the EU require EN71 testing. EN71 is a standard enforced by EU countries, targeting toys designed for children under 14 years old. Its significance is to carry out technical specifications for toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children. Specifically, EN71 testing includes physical and mechanical performance testing, flame retardant testing and migration of specific elements.

The EU EN71 certification is a standard set by the European Union for toy products entering the European market. It is intended to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children through the EN71 standard.



Pet EU EN71 testing standard:

1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical testing. This part mainly includes drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tension test, pressure test, seam test, ear, nose and eye tension, torsion test, etc.

2. EN71-2: Flame retardancy test. This part stipulates the types of flammable materials that are prohibited from being used in all toys and the combustion performance requirements for toys with certain small fire sources. It is required that the burning speed of the material being tested shall not exceed the limit specified in the standard.

3. EN71-3: Transfer of certain elements. This section focuses on soluble elements that are leachable from toy materials under conditions that simulate the material's continued contact with gastric acid for a period of time after swallowing.

4. EN71-4: Standards for test devices for chemical and related activities, etc., which require limits for chemical substances used in chemical test devices and related activity equipment.
