As children's products, children's backpacks usually need to comply with the relevant test items in the EN71 standard if they are to be exported to the EU. EN71 is a series of EU standards for toy safety. Although it is mainly aimed at toys, the design and production of children's backpacks as products for children also need to meet certain safety requirements.
The EN71 standard includes multiple parts. For children's backpacks, it may mainly involve the following test items:
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical performance testing, including inspection of points, sharp edges, small parts, suffocation hazards, electrical safety, etc. of toys to ensure that toys will not cause harm to children when playing with them.
2. EN71-2: Flammability test. This part of the test focuses on the flammability properties of toys, especially those toy materials that may be in direct contact with children's skin.
3. EN71-3: Migration testing of specific elements. This part of the test focuses on the migration limits of heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) in toy materials to ensure that the content of these harmful substances in toys will not affect children's health.
4. EN71-7: Requirements for finger paints. Although it is mainly aimed at pigments, children's backpacks may also need to comply with this standard if they contain similar paints or pigments.
5. EN71-8: Swinging, sliding and similar toys for indoor and outdoor family entertainment. Children's backpacks also need to comply with this standard if they contain such functional parts.
The specific testing process usually includes determining the test scope, finding a certified laboratory, preparing test samples, conducting tests, issuing test reports, making product improvements based on test results, and finally obtaining certification. Testing costs and cycle times will vary based on the specific test items and laboratory productivity.
