The EU EN71 testing of toy tops is to ensure that the safety and quality of toys meet the standards of the European market. The EN71 standard is part of the EU Toy Safety Directive and stipulates the requirements for safety performance testing of various types of toys.
Toy top EU EN71 testing process:
1. Substance testing: The chemical composition of the materials used in the gyroscope is analyzed to determine whether there are prohibited substances or harmful substances. Common banned substances include lead, cadmium, mercury, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc., and their content must be within a limited range.
2. Physical and mechanical performance testing: Test the physical and mechanical properties of the gyroscope, such as impact resistance, pressure resistance, tensile resistance, wear resistance, etc. These tests are designed to ensure that the top can withstand the various forces used by children.
3. Flammability test: Test whether the top is flammable. This is an extremely important test item because toy tops may come into contact with fire sources and may pose a potential fire safety risk if their flammability properties are not up to standard.
4. Noise test: Test the noise level generated by the gyroscope during rotation or collision to ensure that the noise does not exceed safety standards. Excessive noise may cause damage to children's hearing health.
5. Electrical safety testing: If the toy top is equipped with batteries or other electronic components, electrical safety testing needs to be performed to ensure that no electrical contacts are exposed and the insulation materials meet the requirements.
6. Label and warning testing: Check the labels and warnings on the gyroscope to ensure that the product information is accurate and the safety warnings are easy to understand.
7. Accessibility test: Test whether small parts, magnets or batteries in the gyroscope are easily eaten or sucked by children. If the parts in the top are accidentally swallowed or inserted into sensitive areas such as the ears and nose by children, there will be a potential risk of suffocation or injury.
The above is the basic process for EU EN71 testing of toy tops. Through these tests, we can ensure that the gyroscope meets the safety requirements of the European market and protect the health and safety of children.
