When inflatable toys are exported to the EU market, they need to comply with the EU EN71 standard to ensure their safety and compliance. The following is the specific process of EU EN71 certification for inflatable toys:
1. Determine the certification standard
EN71 is the EU safety standard for toys for children under 14 years old, which mainly includes the following parts:
- EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties
- EN71-2: Flammability
- EN71-3: Migration of certain elements
Inflatable toys need to meet the specific requirements of these standards.
2. Prepare materials
In order to carry out EN71 certification, the following materials need to be prepared:
1. Samples: Provide at least 3-5 samples for testing.
2. Instructions: Provide the product's instructions for use, including the product's usage and precautions.
3. Labels: Provide product labels, including information such as product name, manufacturer name, production date and product warnings.
4. Test application form: Fill in and submit the test application form, including product information, manufacturer information and test requirements.
5. Declaration of Conformity: Provide a Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the EN71 standard to prove that the product complies with relevant standards and regulations.
3. Sending samples
Send the prepared samples to a third-party testing agency for testing. Make sure that the samples are not processed in any way to reflect the true situation of the product.
4. Testing and Inspection
The testing agency will conduct a series of tests on the samples to ensure that they meet the requirements of the EN71 standard. The test content includes but is not limited to:
- Physical and mechanical performance tests: such as drop tests, small parts tests, sharp edge tests, tensile tests, pressure tests, etc.
- Flammability test: Evaluate the combustion behavior of the product under specific conditions to ensure that the product will not cause fire or burn children.
- Toxic metal dissolution test: Evaluate the heavy metal dissolution of the product under specific conditions to ensure that the product will not cause harm to children's health.
5. Certificate issuance and declaration
If the product passes all tests, the testing agency will issue an EN71 certificate and submit the test results to the certification body for approval. After the certification body passes the review, a formal EN71 certification certificate will be issued.
6. Apply for Amazon EN71 certification mark (if necessary)
If the product will be sold on the Amazon platform, you can upload the EN71 test report and fill in the corresponding information in the seller center, and submit an application to obtain the Amazon EN71 certification mark.
Notes
- The specific process may vary depending on the actual situation. It is recommended to consult professionals or institutions to obtain accurate information.
- Maintain good communication with the testing agency and keep abreast of the test progress and results.
- Ensure that the product strictly complies with the requirements of the EN71 standard during the production process to increase the possibility of passing the certification.
Through the above steps, inflatable toys can obtain the EU EN71 certification and enter the EU market smoothly.
