EN71 is the regulatory standard for toy products in the European Union market. Europe has launched a toy EN71 certification decree. Its significance is to use the EN71 standard to carry out technical specifications for toy products entering the European market, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children.
To apply for EU EN71 testing, you need to follow the following steps:
1. Determine product testing scope and category: EN71 certification includes multiple parts, each part includes different test items. Therefore, first determine which parts of your product need to be tested and the testing categories.
2. Choose a certification agency: You need to choose a suitable certification agency, which should provide technical support and testing according to the EN71 standard. It is recommended to choose an internationally recognized institution to ensure the authority and reliability of the results.
3. Submit application and technical documents: Manufacturers need to submit an application to the certification body and prepare technical documents, including specifications, materials, processes, etc. The agency will review these documents to ensure that the product complies with EN71 standards.
4. Prepare test samples: Prepare test samples according to the sample requirements provided by the certification body.
5. Conduct the test: Submit the test sample to the certification body for testing. The testing content includes mechanical performance testing, chemical substance content testing, flammability testing, etc.
6. Publish test report: The certification body compiles the test results into a test report and releases it to the product manufacturer.
7. Make improvements based on test results: Make product improvements and adjustments based on the test results and conclusions in the test report.
8. Obtain certification: After improvements and adjustments, submit the sample for testing again. If the test results meet the requirements of the EN71 standard, you can obtain certification.
9. CE mark: Once the product passes EN71 certification, the CE mark can be affixed to the product. This is a mark in the EU market that the product complies with relevant regulatory requirements.
It should be noted that EN71 certification covers multiple test parts, including physical and mechanical properties (EN71-1), flammability (EN71-2), toxic metal dissolution test (EN71-3), chemical experimental toys (EN71- 4), non-experimental chemical toys (EN71-5), age warning label diagrams (EN71-6), requirements for finger paints (EN71-7), swinging, sliding and similar toys (EN71-8), general requirements for organic compounds Requirements (EN71-9), sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds (EN71-10), and analytical methods of organic compounds (EN71-11), etc.
