Obtaining EU EN71 Test Reports for Cartoon Watches
Cartoon watches must undergo EN71 testing under the toy category. Key points for the process are outlined below:
I. Testing Items
| Standard | Test Content |
| EN71-1 | Physical and mechanical properties (small parts, sharp points/edges) |
| EN71-2 | Flammability |
| EN71-3 | Migration of 19 elements (heavy metals such as lead and cadmium) |
| EN71-9/-10/-11 | Organic compounds (for watch straps in contact with skin) |
| REACH-related | Phthalates, PAHs, nickel release |
II. Application Process
1. Prepare documentation: Product photos, structural description, material list, age grading/labeling.
2. Select a testing agency: Dezewei Testing (CNAS Registration No.: L8083).
3. Submit samples: Typically requires 3–5 complete samples.
4. Testing turnaround: Standard 7–10 working days; expedited service available.
5. Report issuance: Includes supporting documents for the CE Declaration of Conformity.
III. Costs and Validity
Basic package (Parts 1, 2, & 3): 800–2,000 RMB
Report validity: 1–3 years (annual review recommended).
IV. Important Considerations
Age classification: Under 12 months, under 3 years, 3–6 years, 6–14 years; requirements are strictest for infant/toddler models.
Small parts testing: Cartoon decorative components must pass tension and torque tests (relevant for parts graspable by children ≤5kg).
Strap materials: Plastic requires phthalate testing; leather requires heavy metal and azo dye testing.
Button batteries: Models containing batteries must comply with IEC standards. Safety Standard for Electric Toys (EN 62115)
Labeling Requirements: Packaging must display age warnings, the CE mark, and manufacturer information.
V. Recommendations for Compliance
Confirm product classification (toy vs. decorative item) with the testing agency in advance to avoid misclassification.
It is recommended to simultaneously handle EMC Directive compliance (for electronic models) and REACH testing to ensure comprehensive EU compliance.
Retain technical documentation (material certificates, design drawings) for at least 10 years.
Note: If a cartoon watch serves a functional purpose, it is advisable to clearly classify it as a "children's toy" or "children's product." For products intended for infants and toddlers under 3 years of age, all accessible parts must pass the EN 71-1 small parts test (fitting within a 30mm diameter cylinder) to prevent choking hazards. For a specific quote, please provide details on product materials and photos of the style to receive an accurate proposal.
