EU EN71 is a set of European standards for the safety of children's toys. It aims to ensure that toy products meet specific safety requirements during the design and production process to protect children's health and safety.
Common misunderstandings about EU EN71 testing include:
1. Misunderstanding of the scope of testing: Some people may think that EN71 is only applicable to children's toys, but in fact, the EN71 standard also applies to children's products and child care products, including but not limited to children's toys and child care products.
2. Wrong understanding of test items: Some people may think that all toys only need to be tested for EN71-1, EN71-2 and EN71-3, but in fact, the EN71 series standards include multiple parts, which need to be tested according to the type of toy. and characteristics to determine what needs to be tested.
3. Misunderstanding of the test validity period: Some people may think that the EN71 test report has a fixed validity period, but in fact, the EN71 test report can always be valid as long as the product design and regulatory requirements do not change.
4. Misunderstanding of testing fees: Some people may think that toys of the same material but different colors can be tested together, but in fact, according to EU regulations, toys of different materials and colors need to be tested separately, so the fees are also charged separately.

Misunderstanding of test samples: Some people may think that test samples can be selected at will, but in fact, test samples must be toys or parts in a sales state, and mixed testing is not allowed, that is, the test part cannot contain more than one material or one component. Samples of more than one color that cannot be separated unless physical methods are used.
6. Misunderstandings about the use of the CE mark: Some people may think that the CE mark can be used at will, but in fact, the size, proportion, graphics and printing of the CE mark have detailed requirements, and these regulations must be followed.
7. Misunderstanding of test reports: Some people may think that EN71 test reports are applicable to all products in the entire factory, but in fact, EN71 test reports are only valid for specific products and material specifications, and cannot prove that all their products comply with EN71 by default.
The above are some common misunderstandings about EU EN71 testing. Understanding these can help manufacturers and exporters better comply with EU toy safety standards.
