Guide to Obtaining a PVC Plastic Doll EU EN71 Testing Report
I. Introduction to EN71 Standard
EN71 is a mandatory EU toy safety standard, covering multiple aspects such as the mechanical, physical, flammability, and chemical properties of toys. PVC plastic dolls fall under the toy category, and exports to the EU must comply with the EN71 series of standards, currently primarily the latest versions such as EN71-1:2014+A1:2018.
II. Main Testing Items
1. EN71-1: Mechanical and Physical Properties
Sharp edges, sharp corners, and pointed points test
Small parts test (to prevent children from swallowing)
Drop, impact, and crush test
Rope length test
Air permeability test (for areas such as eyes and nose)
2. EN71-2: Flammability
Flame retardant performance test to ensure the toy will not burn rapidly in a short time
3. EN71-3: Migration of Specific Elements (Chemical Safety)
19 migratable heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, chromium, etc.)
Phthalates (especially important for PVC materials)
4. EN71-9, EN71-10, EN71-11: Organic Compounds
Testing for organic chemical substances such as plasticizers, preservatives, and flame retardants
⚠️ Special note regarding PVC materials: For PVC plastic products, pay close attention to the phthalate content. The EU has strict limits on DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, and DNOP.
III. Application Process
1. Consultation and Quotation: Contact a third-party testing organization (e.g., Dezewei Testing, CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
2. Application Form Completion: Provide product information and applicant details.
3. Sample Submission: Typically, 3-5 finished products are required for testing.
4. Laboratory Testing: The cycle is generally 5-10 working days.
5. Report Issuance: An English version of the test report will be issued after the test is passed.
6. Report Authenticity Verification: Can be verified on the issuing organization's official website.
IV. Required Documents
| Document Type | Specific Content
| Product Information | Product Name, Model, Material Description
| Technical Documents | Product Structure Diagram, Parts List
| Applicant Information | Company Name, Address, Contact Information
| Other Certificates | Existing CE Certificate or other test reports (if applicable)
V. Fees and Processing Time
Fee Reference: Approximately 1000-3000 RMB, depending on product complexity.
Processing Time: Standard Products 7-10 business days, expedited processing can be shortened to 3-5 business days
Report validity: Usually 2-3 years, but retesting is required when EU regulations are updated.
VI. Precautions
✅ Label the applicable age range on the packaging and instructions.
✅ Avoid using phthalate plasticizers; environmentally friendly alternatives are recommended.
✅ EN71 requirements should be considered during the product design stage to avoid subsequent rectification.
✅ CE marking is mandatory; the EN71 report is an important supporting document for CE compliance.
Since 2019, the EU has implemented Toy Safety Regulation 2019/2024 (replacing the old 2009/48/EC); pay attention to the latest compliance requirements.
