Magnetic toys do need to undergo EN71 testing when exported to the EU. EN71 is the EU's safety standard for children's toy products. It is designed to ensure the safety of toys and prevent harmful products from entering the EU market. For magnetic toys, EN71 testing includes physical and mechanical performance testing, flammability testing, chemical composition testing and other aspects to ensure that the toys will not cause harm to children.
When magnetic toys undergo EN71 testing in the EU, you need to pay attention to the following specific items:
1. Physical and mechanical performance testing (EN71-1): This part of the test includes drop detection, small parts detection, sharp edge detection, tension detection, pressure detection, seam detection, ear, nose and eye tension, torsion detection, etc.
2. Flammability test (EN71-2): Tests the flammability of toy materials and stipulates the types of flammable materials that are prohibited from being used in toys and their combustion performance requirements.
3. Migration test of specific elements (EN71-3): Mainly aimed at the limit requirements for migrating elements in accessible parts or materials in toys, especially the restrictions on heavy metals and chemical substances.
4. Chemical experiment toys (EN71-4): Specifies the limits of chemical substances used in chemical experiment devices and related activity equipment.
5. Non-experimental chemical toys (EN71-5): Specifies restrictions and requirements for the use of hazardous substances in chemical toys.
6. Age warning label diagram (EN71-6): It is pointed out that toys that are not suitable for children under 3 years old but may be dangerous to children under 3 years old should be labeled with age warning labels.
7. Requirements for finger paints (EN71-7): Requirements for finger paints.
8. Swinging, sliding and similar toys (EN71-8): Safety standard for swinging, sliding and similar toys for indoor and outdoor family entertainment.
9. General requirements for organic compounds (EN71-9): Specifies the total migration amount of toxic compounds present in each toy or toy material in different exposure modes.
10. Sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds (EN71-10): Involves sample preparation and extraction methods of organic compounds.
11. Analytical methods for organic compounds (EN71-11): Involves analytical methods for organic compounds.
When conducting EN71 testing of magnetic toys, special attention needs to be paid to the safety requirements of magnet toys, especially the hazards that may be caused by swallowing magnets. Corresponding warning signs need to be included on the packaging and instructions for use. These testing items ensure the safety of magnetic toys in terms of mechanical and physical properties, flammability properties, chemical properties, etc. to protect children's safety when playing.
