When plastic toys undergo EU EN71 certification, they need to undergo a series of tests to ensure their safety. The EU EN71 certification is a series of safety standards for children's toy products, aiming to ensure the safety of toy products and reduce or avoid injuries caused by toys to children. These test items include but are not limited to:
1. Physical and mechanical performance testing (EN71-1): Evaluate the structural stability of toys, edges and sharp parts, durability, drop test, small parts test, pressure test, seam test, ear, nose and eye tension, torsion test, etc., To ensure that the toy will not cause harm to children under normal use and foreseeable abuse.
2. Flammability test (EN71-2): Evaluate the flammability performance of toys to ensure that materials will not burn quickly or produce toxic smoke, including testing of finished products and pile fabrics or pile materials.
3. Toxic metal dissolution test (EN71-3): Test the content of 19 heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, selenium, barium, and antimony in toy materials to ensure that they do not exceed the prescribed limits.
4. Chemical laboratory toys (EN71-4): Specific testing for chemical laboratory toys.
5. Non-experimental chemical toys (EN71-5): Specific tests for non-experimental chemical toys.
6. Requirements for finger paints (EN71-7): Specific requirements for finger paints used by children.
7. General requirements for organic compounds (EN71-9): Specifies the total migration amount of toxic compounds in toys or toy materials, including mouth contact, possible ingestion, skin contact, eye contact, inhalation and other exposure methods.
8. Sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds (EN71-10): Involves sample preparation and extraction methods.
9. Analytical methods for organic compounds (EN71-11): Involves analytical methods for organic compounds.
These test items ensure the safety of plastic toys in terms of mechanical, flammability, chemical and physical properties to protect children during use. Toy manufacturers must ensure that their products comply with all requirements of the EN71 standard before exporting their products to the EU.
