Guidelines for Obtaining EU EN71 Test Reports for Robot Toys
I. Confirming the Scope of EN71
As a type of electronic toy, robot toys exported to the EU market must comply with the EN71 standard. Robot toys typically involve mechanical structures, electronic functions, battery power, and other characteristics, requiring multiple safety tests.
II. EN71 Test Items
| Test Standard | Test Content | Applicability
| EN71-1 | Mechanical and Physical Properties (Sharp Points, Edges, Small Parts, etc.) | Mandatory
| EN71-2 | Flammability Test | Mandatory
| EN71-3 | Migration of 19 Specific Elements (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, etc.) | Mandatory
| EN71-4 | Safety of Laboratory Toys | Depends on Product Function
| EN71-5 | Chemical Toys (Other than Laboratory Toys for Adults) | Depends on Product Function
| EN71-7 | Finger Paint Requirements | Depends on Product Function
| EN71-8 | Household Swings, Slides, etc. for Indoor and Outdoor Use | Depends on Product Type
| EN71-12 | Nitrosamines and Nitrosamine Compounds | When Involving Rubber Materials
| EN71-13 | Olfactory Board Games, Chemical Games, etc. | Depending on product function
III. Key Testing Items for Robot Toys
1. Mechanical and Physical Properties (EN71-1)
Structural Integrity: Check the sturdiness of the shell, joints, connectors, etc.
Sharp Points and Edges: Confirm that there is no risk of scratches on the edges of metal and plastic parts.
Small Parts Inspection: Assess the risk of accidental ingestion by children under 3 years old.
Stability Test: Stability of the robot when standing and walking.
Clearances Between Moving Parts: Prevent children's fingers from being pinched.
2. Electrical Safety
Battery Compartment Safety: Prevent children from coming into contact with the battery.
Charging Safety: Overcharge and short circuit protection for lithium batteries.
Heat Limitation: Temperature control of motors and circuit boards.
Insulation Performance: Protection of electrical components.
IV. Application Process
1. Preparation Stage
Provide robot toy samples (2-3 recommended)
Prepare product documents: Instruction manual, technical drawings, component list
Define the target age group: This affects the judgment criteria for some tests.
2. Selecting a Testing Institution
EU Notified Body Body)
EN71 test report issued by a domestic CNAS accredited laboratory
Confirmation that the testing institution possesses the full or related EN71 testing qualifications
3. Sample Submission and Testing
The laboratory tests the samples.
If any items fail to meet the standards, the company must rectify the deficiencies and resubmit for testing.
Testing cycle: Typically 7-15 working days
4. Report Issuance and Certification
Obtain the EN71 test report
Prepare Technical Documents (TCF)
Affix CE marking
Issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
V. Precautions
Age Labeling: Applicable age must be indicated on the packaging and instruction manual.
Battery Labeling: Battery-containing products must indicate the battery type and replacement method.
Electromagnetic Compatibility: Some robot toys also need to comply with EMC directive requirements.
Wireless Function: Robot toys with Bluetooth or WiFi functions must comply with the RED directive.
Report Validity: No fixed validity period, but retesting is required if materials or processes change.
Recommendation: Robot toys often involve multiple directives (EN71, EMC, RED, etc.). It is recommended that companies choose an experienced testing institution for one-stop service to avoid wasting time and money on multiple submissions.
