Strollers sold in the EU market need to pass EN71 certification testing to ensure that they meet EU safety standards. EN71 certification is the EU safety standard for toys and children's products, designed to protect the health and safety of children under 14 years old. The following is relevant information about EN71 certification testing for strollers:
I. The main parts of EN71 certification
EN71 certification includes multiple parts, each for different safety requirements:
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical performance test
- Sharp edges and points: Ensure that the stroller has no sharp edges and points that may cause cuts or punctures to children.
- Small parts: Prevent strollers from containing small parts that may be swallowed by children to avoid choking hazards.
- Strength and durability: Test the strength and durability of the stroller to ensure that it will not be damaged or produce dangerous fragments under normal use and a certain degree of abuse.
2. EN71-2: Flammability test
- Burning speed: Test the burning speed of the stroller material to ensure that it has certain flame retardant properties and reduce the risk of fire.
3. EN71-3: Migration test of certain elements
- Restriction of hazardous substances: Restrict the hazardous substances that may be present in strollers, such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.), plasticizers such as phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.
- Migration elements: Test the content of migration elements in strollers, such as antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, etc., to ensure that they will not cause harm to children's health.
2. Certification process

2. Submit application and samples: Submit an application to the certification body, including filling in relevant forms, providing product samples and necessary technical documents. Ensure that all submitted information is true, accurate and complete.
3. Product testing: The certification body will test the submitted stroller samples, including physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical content and other tests.
4. Evaluation and review: Evaluation and review are carried out based on the test results and submitted technical documents. If the product meets the EN71 standard, the certification body will issue the corresponding certification certificate.
5. Issuance of certificate: After the stroller sample passes all tests and evaluations, the certification body will issue the EN71 certification certificate, allowing the product to be sold in the EU market.
6. Continuous supervision: After obtaining the EN71 certification, the manufacturer needs to accept the continuous supervision of the certification body to ensure the continuous compliance of the product, including regular product sampling and factory inspections.
