Guide to the EU EN71 test report for children's educational toys. The EU EN71 standard is the statutory requirement for the safety of children's toys in Europe, covering tests in physics, chemistry, fire, noise and other aspects. For children's educational toys exported to Europe, they must comply with this standard and obtain an EN71 test report to protect the health and safety of consumers. The following is a detailed process and guide for applying for an EN71 test report.
1. Understanding the EN71 standard
The EN71 standard mainly includes the following parts:
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties
- Including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tensile test, pressure test, etc.
2. EN71-2: Combustion performance
- It specifies all types of flammable materials that are prohibited from use, and requires that the burning rate of the tested materials shall not exceed the specified limit.
3. EN71-3: Migration of specific elements
- Simulates the heavy metals that can be dissolved from toy materials in children's gastric juice in accessible parts, and sets a maximum limit.
4. EN71-4: Chemical Experiment Toys
- Includes safety requirements for toys for chemical reaction experiments.
5. EN71-5: Chemical Toys (Toys other than test devices)
- Includes safety requirements for chemical toys.
6. EN71-6: Age Warning Labels
- Specifies the age warning label requirements for toys.
7. EN71-7: Requirements for Finger Paints
- Includes safety requirements for finger paints.
8. EN71-9: General Requirements for Organic Compounds
- Specifies the total amount of toxic compound migration.
9. EN71-10: Sample Preparation and Extraction of Organic Compounds
- Includes sample preparation and extraction methods for organic compounds.
2. EN71 Test Report Processing Procedure
1. Determine the scope and category of product testing
- Determine the test scope: Determine the EN71 part that needs to be tested based on the characteristics and uses of the product.
- Determine the test category: Determine the test items that need to be conducted based on the specific characteristics of the product.
2. Find a certified laboratory
- Select a laboratory: Select a third-party testing organization with EN71 certification qualifications, such as DTI.
- Consult the laboratory: Contact the laboratory to understand the specific test requirements and procedures.
3. Prepare test samples
- Sample quantity: Prepare enough test samples according to the laboratory's requirements.
- Sample status: Ensure that the samples are in good condition and meet the test requirements.
4. Conduct the test
- Submit samples: Submit the test samples to the certification laboratory.
- Testing process: The laboratory will conduct various tests according to the EN71 standard and record the test results.
5. Issue a test report
- Report preparation: The laboratory compiles the test results into a test report.
- Report review: The laboratory reviews the report to ensure its accuracy and completeness.
6. Make improvements based on the test results
- Analyze the report: Read the test report carefully to understand the test results and problems of the product.
- Product improvement: Improve and adjust the product according to the test results to ensure compliance with the EN71 standard.
7. Obtain certification
- Retest: The improved samples need to be resubmitted to the laboratory for testing.
- Obtain certification: If the test results meet the requirements of the EN71 standard, you can obtain EN71 certification.
III. Notes
- Select a qualified laboratory: Select a third-party testing agency with EN71 certification qualifications to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
- Keep communicating: In the process of applying for the EN71 test report, keep communicating with the laboratory and keep abreast of the test progress and results.
- Continuous improvement: Continuously improve the product according to the test results to ensure that it meets the requirements of the EN71 standard.
IV. Summary
Applying for the EU EN71 test report for children's educational toys is an important step to ensure product safety, health and reliability. By following the above process and guidelines, you can ensure that your products comply with EU regulations and standards and enter the European market smoothly.
