Wooden toys exported to the EU need to undergo EN71 testing. EN71 is a regulatory standard for toy products in the EU market, aiming to ensure the safety and quality of toys. This standard applies to all toys for children under 14 years old, including but not limited to plastic toys, fabric toys, wooden toys, etc.
EU EN71 certification process for wooden toys:
1. Preliminary evaluation: Manufacturers need to conduct a preliminary evaluation of wooden toys to ensure that the products meet the requirements of the EN71 standard. This includes a review of toy materials, structural design, workmanship, etc.
2. Pre-examination: Pre-examination is an important link in the application process. The authoritative agency conducts a preliminary review of the samples and materials submitted by the manufacturer. After passing the pre-review, the manufacturer can enter the formal certification process.
3. Formal review: The formal review includes two parts: document review and on-site review. The document audit mainly reviews the technical documents submitted by the manufacturer to ensure that they meet the requirements of the EN71 standard; the on-site audit is an on-site inspection of the production site, process flow, etc. to ensure the safety of the actual production process of the product.
4. Certification decision: Based on the results of the pre-review and formal review, the authoritative agency will make a certification decision. If the wooden toys meet the requirements of the EN71 standard, a CE-EN71 certification is issued.
