Children's toys exported to the European Union require CE certification and EN71 testing.
CE certification is the most basic requirement of the European Union for the safety of toy products and a necessary condition for children's toys to enter the European market. The standards for CE certification include requirements for physical and mechanical properties, flame retardancy, chemical properties, and other aspects.
EN71 testing is a part of the EU Toy Safety Directive, which is aimed at testing the physical and mechanical properties, combustion, and electrical safety of toy products. The significance of this certification is to standardize the technical specifications of toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, in order to reduce or avoid harm to children caused by toys.
In addition, there are other certification standards and requirements, such as RoHS certification and REACH. RoHS certification is the EU's restriction and prohibition on harmful substances in electronic and electrical products. Batteries and electronic components used in toys may require RoHS certification. REACH is a regulatory proposal that involves the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. Chemicals imported and produced in Europe must go through a comprehensive process of registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction to better and simpler identify the chemical composition and achieve the goal of ensuring environmental and human safety.
In summary, exporting children's toys to the European Union requires CE certification and EN71 testing, as well as complying with other relevant standards and requirements to ensure the safety of toys and comply with EU market standards.
