What is EN71 certification? EN71 is the standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most concerned and cherished group in the whole society. The toy market that children generally enjoy is developing rapidly. At the same time, various types of toys often cause harm to children due to various quality issues. Therefore, the requirements for toys on the domestic market in various countries around the world are becoming increasingly strict. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and production companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before being sold in the region. The manufacturer must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design, or the use of unsuitable materials. As a result, the Toy EN71 Certification Act was introduced in Europe, which aims to regulate the technology of toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children.
