As a type of children's toys, plastic dolls need to undergo EN71 testing before being put on the EU market to ensure their safety and compliance. EN71 testing covers multiple test items. The following are the main test items of EU EN71 testing for plastic dolls:
1. Physical and mechanical performance testing (EN71-1):
Evaluate toys for structural stability, safety of edges and sharp parts.
Conduct durability tests, such as drop tests, to ensure the toy will not break under normal use and foreseeable abuse.
Small parts test to ensure that small parts are not easy to fall off and prevent children from swallowing by mistake.
Pressure test, seam test, ear, nose and eye tension test, torque test, etc. to evaluate the overall mechanical performance of the toy.
2. Flammability test (EN71-2):
Evaluate the combustion properties of toy materials to ensure materials do not burn quickly or produce toxic fumes.
Testing of finished products and pile fabrics or pile materials that may be used in toys.
3. Toxic metal dissolution test (EN71-3):
Detect the content of harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, selenium, barium, and antimony in toy materials.
Ensure that the migration of these heavy metals does not exceed specified limits to prevent harm to children's health.
4. Testing of specific chemical substances:
According to the regulations of EN71-9 and other parts, detect the total migration amount of toxic compounds in toys or toy materials.
This includes toxic compounds through mouth contact, possible ingestion, skin contact, eye contact, inhalation and other modes of exposure.
5. Other specific tests:
If the plastic doll contains other special functions or components (such as batteries, electronic components, etc.), additional testing may be required, such as electromagnetic compatibility testing (EMC testing).
It should be noted that EN71 testing is a comprehensive testing system, and the testing content and requirements of different parts may be different. Therefore, when conducting EN71 testing, the corresponding test items and standards should be selected for testing according to the specific product type and characteristics.
