What is EN71 certification? EN71 is the EU market standard for toy products. Europe has launched a toy EN71 certification decree, which means to implement technical specifications for toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children.
EU en71 toy standard test method:
1. EN71-1: Toy safety-physical and mechanical properties. This part specifies the safety technical requirements for the mechanical and physical properties of toys for different age groups from newborn babies to 14 years old, including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tension test, pressure test, seam test, ear and nose test Eye pull, torque test, etc. Toys are required to be free from collapse, ingestion, sharp edges, noise, sharp points and other dangers that may harm children's lives and health during testing.
2. EN71-2: Toy safety-flammable properties. 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: Toy safety-toxic metal dissolution test. This part specifies the maximum limits for migrating elements (antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, tin) in accessible parts or materials of toys. The test principle is to simulate the dissolution of toy materials extracted from toy materials under the conditions of continuous contact with gastric acid for a period of time after swallowing.
In addition, the EU EN71 toy standard also includes other parts such as EN71-4 to EN71-14, which respectively involve chemical experimental toys, non-experimental chemical toys, age warning label pictures, finger paint requirements, indoor and outdoor family entertainment land swings, Sliding and similar toys, general requirements for organic compounds in toys, sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds, analytical methods for organic compounds, nitrosamines and nitroso compounds, requirements for aromatics in specific toys, and standards for household toy trampolines, etc. .
