Balloons can undergo EU EN71 testing. EN71 is the standard for toy products in the EU market and is designed to ensure the safety of toy products. To apply for EU EN71 testing of balloons, you need to follow the following process:
1. Application consultation: First, you need to fill in the application form and provide company information form and toy product information.
2. Cost quotation: Based on the information provided, determine the execution instruction standards and related test items, and give a reasonable quotation.
3. Customer payment: After confirming the quotation, sign the application form and service agreement, and pay the payment.
4. Factory audit and testing: Provide on-site audit guidance for the applied products according to relevant EU directive standards, and provide a full set of testing services.
5. Audit and test passing: Complete the preparation of relevant audit materials and confirmation of the test report.
6. Project completion: Final payment is settled and toy CE certificate is issued.
As a toy, the EN71 testing standards that are mainly considered include:
- EN71-1: Physical and mechanical performance testing, including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tensile test, pressure test, test seam, ear, nose and eye tension, torsion test, etc.
- EN71-2: Flame retardant test, which stipulates the combustion performance requirements of all toys and prohibits the use of flammable materials and certain types of small fire sources in toys.
- EN71-3: Migration test for specific elements, which specifies limits for material migration of toys or elements (such as antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, tin).
- EN71-12: Concerns testing of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosamine compounds, especially for elastomer articles and finger paints intended for use by children under 36 months of age.
Please note that EN71 certification is not a once and for all product. Manufacturers need to continue to ensure that products meet the requirements of the EN71 standard and update or retest when necessary. At the same time, manufacturers also need to correctly mark the CE mark on their products to prepare for inspection by relevant EU agencies.
