Remote-controlled toys need to comply with the EU's Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC when exported to the EU, and need to undergo EN71 testing. EN71 is the specification standard for toy products in the EU market, which includes testing of physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical properties, etc.
EN71 testing specifically includes the following items:
1. Physical and mechanical performance testing (EN71-1): including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tension test, pressure test, seam test, ear, nose and eye tension, torsion test, etc.
2. Flammability test (EN71-2): It stipulates all types of flammable materials that are prohibited from use, and requires that the burning rate of the tested materials must not exceed the specified limit.
3. Migration detection of specific elements (EN71-3): also called toxic metal dissolution testing, involving test results of 8 toxic metal elements including lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, selenium, barium, and antimony.
4. Chemistry experiment toy set (EN71-4).
5. Non-experimental chemical toys (EN71-5).
6. Age warning label diagram (EN71-6).
7. Requirements for finger paints (EN71-7).
8. Swinging, sliding and similar toys for indoor and outdoor household entertainment (EN71-8).
9. General requirements for organic compounds (EN71-9): Specifies the total migration amount of toxic compounds present in each toy or toy material in the following exposure modes: contact with mouth, possible ingestion, skin contact, eye contact, inhalation.
10. Sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds (EN71-10).
11. Analytical methods for organic compounds (EN71-11).
In addition to meeting the EN71 standard, remote control toys also need to comply with the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive RED 2014/53/EU, including electromagnetic compatibility testing (EMC testing), safety testing LVD, and radio communication equipment testing (RF testing) and electrical safety and health protection testing (SAR assessment).
