Children's ring toys, as jewelry toys worn by children, need to comply with multiple parts of the EU EN71 standard to ensure their safety. Specifically, here are some of the key EN71 standards and their corresponding requirements:
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties testing
Drop test: Evaluate whether the toy will cause injury when dropped.
Small parts test: Make sure the small parts on the toy are not easy to fall off and prevent children from accidentally swallowing them.
Sharp edge test: Check whether toys have sharp edges to prevent scratching children.
Tensile test: Test the firmness of each component of the toy to avoid breakage during use.
Pressure test: Evaluate the degree of deformation of the toy when subjected to pressure to ensure that no crushing injury will occur.
2. EN71-2: Flammability test
Restrictions on flammable materials: stipulates the types of flammable materials that are prohibited from being used in toys and their combustion performance requirements to prevent fire risks.
3. EN71-3: Migration testing of specific elements
Heavy metal restrictions: Limit requirements for migrating elements in accessible parts or materials, including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), barium (Ba), selenium (Se), arsenic The dissolution limits of eight heavy metals such as (As) and antimony (Sb). For example, the dissolution amount of Pb (lead) is limited to <90ppm, the dissolution amount of Cd (cadmium) is limited to <75ppm, etc.
4. Other parts of the EN71 standard that may be involved
EN71-4 to EN71-11: These parts cover safety requirements for chemical laboratory toys, graphic representation of age signs, requirements for finger paints, safety requirements for swinging, sliding and similar toys for indoor and outdoor family entertainment, etc. . Although these parts may not directly apply to children's ring toys, manufacturers should still ensure that their products comply with the relevant requirements of the EN71 standard throughout the design and production process.
To sum up, children's ring toys need to comply with multiple parts of the EN71 standard, specifically physical and mechanical property testing, flammability testing, and migration testing of specific elements. Manufacturers should ensure that their products comply with the requirements of the EN71 standard in these aspects and correctly mark the products with the CE mark to prove that they comply with the EU's Toy Safety Directive.
