EN71 Certification Report for Metal Track Toys
I. Introduction to EN71 Certification
EN71 is the general term for the EU toy safety standards system. Metal track toys, as children's toys, must meet the EN71 standard requirements and obtain a test report for export to the EU market. This certification is a mandatory entry condition for the EU market, aiming to ensure that the toys meet the prescribed requirements in terms of physical and mechanical safety, chemical safety, and flammability, thus protecting children's safety.
II. Scope and Definition
Metal track toys mainly include track sets, train model tracks, racing car tracks, magnetic track toys, and metal assembly tracks made of various metal materials, designed for children under 14 years old. These toys typically consist of metal track parts, connectors, vehicle models, controllers, etc., and fall under the scope of EN71 certification.
III. Main Test Items
1. EN71-1 Physical and Mechanical Properties Test
Small Parts Test (Preventing Child Swallowing)
Sharp Point and Edge Detection
Wire and Sheet Bending Test
Tension and Torque Test (Component Firmness)
Abuse Test (Simulating Damage During Child Play)
2. EN71-2 Flammability Test
Overall Toy Burning Rate Test
Pluff and Textile Material Burning Test
Flame Propagation Speed Assessment
3. EN71-3 Specific Element Migration Test
Metal track toys require migration testing for the following 8 heavy metals:
| Heavy Metals | Limit Requirements (mg/kg) | Precautions
