A toy train is a toy that simulates a real train and is typically used for children's games and entertainment. They can be scaled down models made of different materials or toys with electric functions. There are various types of toy trains, including track toy trains, electric toy trains, and assembled toy trains. Why should toy trains undergo EN71 testing?

The EN71 test is also required for toy trains to ensure their safety and ensure the health and safety of children during play. The EN71 test covers safety requirements for mechanical and physical properties, flammability, chemical properties, and other aspects of toy trains. Through these tests, it is possible to evaluate whether toy trains comply with relevant safety standards, in order to reduce or avoid potential hazards such as sharp edges, small component detachment, and excessive chemical substances. This can help manufacturers improve the product quality of toy trains, while also making consumers more confident in purchasing and using these products.


The EU EN71 testing items for toy trains mainly include the following categories:

1. Mechanical and physical performance testing: Evaluate whether toy trains can generate potential hazards such as small parts, sharp edges, tips, protrusions, etc. under normal use and foreseeable reasonable abuse.

2. Flammability test: Detects the flammability of toy trains to determine whether they comply with relevant safety standards.

3. Chemical performance testing: Detect specific elements and chemicals in toy trains, such as heavy metals, phthalates, and other harmful substances.

4. Electrical safety performance test: For electric toy trains, test their electrical safety performance, including electrical strength, electrical resistance, insulation resistance, etc.
