Electric toy vehicles need to meet a series of safety standards when undergoing EU EN71 testing. These standards are designed to ensure that electric toy vehicles will not cause harm to children during use and protect their health and safety. The following is a detailed overview of the EU EN71 testing standard requirements for electric toy vehicles:
1. Overview of EN71 series standards
EN71 is a set of mandatory safety standards formulated by the European Union for children's toy products, covering physical, mechanical, chemical, electrical and other testing requirements. For electric toy cars, the main parts of the EN71 standard include EN71-1, EN71-2, EN71-3 and electrical performance testing.
2. Specific standard requirements
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical performance testing
Structural Stability: Tests whether the structure of an electric toy vehicle is stable enough to prevent collapse or disintegration under normal use and reasonably foreseeable abuse.
Edges and Sharp Parts: Evaluate toy vehicles for sharp edges or protrusions to make sure they won’t cause harm to children.
Durability test: simulate long-term use by children and possible accidents to evaluate the durability of toy cars.
Drop test: Test whether the toy car can still work normally after being dropped from a certain height without causing potential danger by falling small parts.
2. EN71-2: Flammability test
Combustion Properties: Evaluate the combustion properties of toy vehicle materials to ensure they do not burn quickly or produce toxic fumes.
Flame retardancy requirements: All toy materials should have certain flame retardancy to prevent fire accidents.
3. EN71-3: Migration of specific elements
Heavy metal restrictions: Test the content of lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic and other heavy metals in accessible parts or materials of toy cars to ensure that they do not exceed the specified limits.
Chemical Restrictions: Evaluate whether toy vehicles contain other harmful chemicals such as phthalates.
4. Electrical performance test
Electrical strength and electric strength test: Test whether the toy car can withstand a certain voltage and current during use to prevent electrical failure or electric shock accidents.
Insulation resistance test: Verify that the insulation material inside the toy car is effective enough to prevent current leakage.
Battery safety performance testing: Conduct safety performance testing on the batteries used in toy cars to ensure that they will not cause safety hazards under extreme conditions such as charging, discharging or short circuiting.
Electromagnetic compatibility test: Evaluate whether the toy car will emit strong electromagnetic signals during use and interfere with the normal operation of other electronic equipment.
3. Other requirements
Labels and Instructions: Toy vehicles should come with clear labels and instructions to guide users in the proper use of the product and understand potential safety risks.
Age restrictions: For electric toy vehicles that are not suitable for children of a certain age, age restrictions and warnings should be clearly marked.
