What are the core contents of the EU EN71-1,2,3 toy testing standards
EN71 is a standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most concerned and loving groups of the whole society, children's popular toy market is developing rapidly, and all kinds of toys due to all aspects of quality problems to children's harm also occurs, so the world's requirements for toys in the domestic market are becoming increasingly strict. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and manufacturing companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before they are sold in the region. Manufacturers must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or the use of inappropriate materials. Thus, the toy EN71 certification Act was introduced in Europe, which means that the toy products entering the European market are technically regulated through the EN71 standard, so as to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children.



EN 71-1: Physical and mechanical tests;

Including silent toys, sound toys, headset sound toys, toy cabinet 7000 switching tests, riding toys, mouth toys; Including drop test, small parts test, sharp edge test, tension test, pressure test, seam test, component test, ear nose and eye tension, torsion test, etc.

EN 71-2: Flammability test;

Include:

1. Finished products;

2. Fluff fabric or fluff material;

3. Liquid flash point test

EN 71-3: Tests for the content of 8 toxic metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, barium, mercury, selenium, antimony);

Limit standard: Lead ≤90, cadmium ≤75, chromium ≤60, arsenic ≤25, barium ≤1000, mercury ≤60, selenium ≤500, antimony ≤60 Unit: (PPM)

En 71-1: Physical Machinery

Materials are visually free from debris, pollution, etc

4.2 Assembly

This clause applies to toys that must be assembled before play or that are dangerous if improperly assembled (typical toys: riding toys that are shipped and sold in bulk). Adult assembly requires instructions and a reminder similar to "assembled by adults."

The opening area is not less than 1% in the range of 30mm×30mm. Plastic film balloons in the uninflated state of double layer thickness and greater than 0.038mm, this clause does not apply to latex balloons.

4.4 Toy Bags. 4.4 Toy bags

A bag with an opening circumference greater than 380mm and a drawstring as a sealing method must meet at least one of the following two requirements: 1. The bag is made of a breathable material. 2. There are ventilation holes with an area of at least 1300mm2, which can be reached by two holes at least 150mm apart, or by a single ventilation hole with an area of at least 1300mm2

4.5 Glass

Accessible glass is not intended for children over 3 years of age, except in the following cases

1. Functional and required (typical sample: light bulb, microscope lens, beaker)

2. Reinforced glass fibers

3. Glass marbles or glass eyeballs for toys

4.6 Expanding Materials. 4.6 Expanding materials

Toys made of expanded materials, if there are small parts before and after abuse, the expansion rate in either direction cannot exceed 50% after the expansion test.

4.7 Edges Edges

Accessible metal or glass shall not have a favorable edge, and the metal edge shall not have burrs. If the toy is used by children over 3 years old

There is a functional edge that needs to be warned to remind the user to pay attention to (typical toys: pencil sharpener, need to add a similar Warning on the package: Warning! Pencil sharpener present sharp edges,not suitable for children under 3years due to function sharp edges. Pencil Sharpener present sharp edges,not suitable for children under 3years due to function sharp edges.

4.8 Points and Metallic Wires. 4.8 points and metallic wires

The accessible tips should not be pointed points. If there are functional pointed points in toys for children over 3 years old, warning words should be added to remind users (Typical toys: sewing needles, warning words should be placed on the packaging). The toy has a flexible wire that cannot break after testing.

Pipes and rigid Parts that exist in a Protruding manner and pose a stab hazard to children need to be protected and the protective devices must not fall off after a tensile test. The end of the umbrella banner also needs to be protected.
