Amazon’s EN71 testing and certification process for toys on shelves mainly includes the following steps:
1. Understand the EN71 standard
EN71 is the European Union's safety standard for toy products. It is divided into multiple parts. The three most important parts are EN71-1, EN71-2 and EN71-3.
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties, including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, etc., to ensure that toys will not cause harm to children under normal use and abuse.
2. EN71-2: Flame retardant performance, which stipulates the combustion performance requirements of toys to ensure that toys will not burn quickly or produce too much toxic smoke when exposed to fire sources.
3. EN71-3: Transfer of certain elements, which stipulates the maximum limit for migrating elements (such as lead, cadmium, etc.) in accessible parts or materials of toys to ensure that these elements will not enter the body through children's contact.
2. Prepare information
Before applying for EN71 testing and certification, you need to prepare the following information:
1. Product samples: Usually 2-3 representative product samples need to be provided for testing.
2. Product instructions: including how to use the product, warning information, age restrictions, etc.
3. Material list: List in detail all materials used in the product, including raw materials and parts.
4. Test report (if existing): If the product has been partially tested, the relevant test report can be provided for reference.
5. Application form: Fill in the application form and provide basic information about the company and products.
3. Select certification agency
Choose a certification agency that meets EU requirements for EN71 testing and certification. These institutions usually have relevant testing qualifications and experience and can ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results. Common certification agencies include TUV, SGS, BV, etc.
4. Submit application and evaluate
Submit an application to the selected certification body, attaching the required information. The certification body will evaluate the application materials to determine whether the product meets the basic requirements of the EN71 standard.
5. Sample testing
The certification body will conduct detailed laboratory tests on product samples. The test content may include physical properties, chemical content, flame retardant properties, etc. The testing process will be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the EN71 standard to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
6. Report issuance and certification
After the test is completed, the certification agency will issue a detailed test report to objectively evaluate the safety performance of the product. If the product meets the requirements of the EN71 standard, the certification body will issue the corresponding certification certificate.
