EU EN71 toy certification

Introduction to toy EN71 certification

Toy EN71 certification is the standard for toy products in EU market. Its significance is to regulate the toy products entering European market through EN71 certification standard, so as to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children.

3. Coverage of toy EN71 certified products

The toy instruction is applicable to any product or material designed or scheduled for children under 14 years of age to play. If charged, the power supply voltage should not exceed 24V.

IV. TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION OF TOY EN71 AUTHENTICATION

If toy products are legally sold in the European Union, they must meet the requirements of toy instruction 88/378/EEC and mark CE logo. The toy general standard EN71 test certification includes the following tests:

—— EN71 Part 1 Physical and Mechanical Mechanical and Physical Performance Tests.

—— EN71 Part 2 Flammalility test flammability test.

—— Chemical testing of eight toxic elements in EN71 Part 3 Chemical test.

—— EN71 Part4 user manual instructions.

_Radio Communication Interruption Instruction Test R&TTE Instruction 1999/5/EC; If it is a radio remote control toy, such as remote control toy car, ship, aircraft, toy walkie-talkie (27MHz, 40MHz, 49MHz, 433MHz, 863MHz, 2.4 GHHz), it should also meet the requirements of RADIO (RF)+EMC+LVD test.

_EMC Instruction Test EMC Instruction (89/336/EEC); for electric toys, including battery-driven toys and toys with AC/DC converter power supply. In addition to the toy general standard EN71 test, it also needs to meet the relevant EMC standards, including: EMI (electromagnetic radiation): EN55022, EN55014-1, EN61000-3-2/3; EMS (electromagnetic immunity): EN55014-2, EN50082-1.

_Electric toy safety test EN50088; This standard includes all electric toys, and is also applicable to electrical construction sets, electric function toys, or experimental sets. However, transformers and chargers used with toys can not be used as toys, and corresponding electrical safety standards must be used. The main detection contents of EN50088 include: sign and description, input power, temperature rise and abnormal operation, electrical strength, mechanical strength, structure, wire, screw and components, creepage distance and electrical clearance, fire protection, heat resistance, toxicity and similar hazards.

Introduction to EN71 toy certification

Children's products: Consumer goods designed and produced for children aged 12 or under, including but not limited to children's toys and child care products.

Children's toys: consumer goods designed and manufactured for children aged 12 or younger.

Child care products: Consumer products designed and manufactured for children aged 3 or younger to help them sleep, feed, or suck or teeth.

Toys that can be put into the mouth: toys that can be sucked or chewed by children. If you can only lick it with your tongue, it is not considered to be in the mouth. If the size of a toy or part of a toy is less than 5 centimeters, the toy is considered to be in the entrance.

More than 70% of the toys sold in the international export toy market come from China. The United States is the world's largest importer of toys, followed by Germany, Japan, Britain, France, Canada and Italy.

As a big country in toy production and sales, the quality of toys in China is directly related to children's physical and mental health. In the increasingly fierce international toy market competition, it directly affects the smooth flow of domestic and foreign toy markets. Therefore, "toy safety" has become an international focus. Countries and relevant organizations have launched their own toy standards, and the contents are constantly updated every year, such as: national mandatory standard GB 6675-2003 "National Toy Safety Technical Specification", "European Union Toy Safety Standard EN71", "American Toy Safety Standard". Quasi-ASTMF963, CPSIA of American Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, ST2002 of Japanese Toy Safety Standard, etc.

Many toy enterprises in China do not understand the toy standards and can not organize production according to the standards, resulting in poor product quality and not meeting the requirements of toy exporting countries. Especially because of the poor safety performance of toys, the incidents of detention, destruction and recall are continuing, which not only directly cause personal injury to children, but also cause a huge waste of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Therefore, domestic toy enterprises must attach great importance to the management of toy safety standards, accurately understand the toy safety standards of various countries, and take precautions to ensure the improvement of product safety quality.

II. EN71 Toy Certification and Testing Project

1. Material quality

Toys are made of new or reprocessed materials. If the reprocessed material is used, it must be refined to meet the requirements of 1.3.1 for the content of dangerous substances.

2. Flammability

Non-textile materials used in toys (excluding paper) cannot be flammable. The above definition of flammability is in accordance with the Federal Hazardous Substances Regulations (FHSA) 16CFR 1500.3 (C) (6) (VI). For testing purposes, any textile used in toys should meet the requirements of 16CFR 1610. Testing procedures for flammability of toys, i.e. instructions for 16CFR 1500.44, are given in Appendix A5.

3. Toxicity

Toxic substances - toys or materials used in toys must comply with FHSA and the relevant regulations promulgated by FHSA. 16 CFR 1500.85 lists some types of toys that are not specified by FHSA. The above-mentioned regulations set limits on toxic, corrosive, irritating, sensitized, pressure-producing, radioactive, flammable and flammable substances. It should be noted that some states may have stricter regulations on toxic substances than federal ones. The highest soluble content of transfer elements in toy materials is ppm (mg/kg).

Elements: lead (Pb), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cb), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg) selenium (Se)

Limit: 90 25 60 1000 75 60 60 60 500

4. Lead content restrictions:

Lead in surface coating materials: From August 14, 2009, 16CFR 1303 decreased from 600 ppm to 90 ppm. Since December 21, 2008, lead content can only be measured by chemical analysis.

Lead in non-surface coatings:

Limit execution time

600 ppm 2009.2.10

300 ppm 2009.8.14

100ppm 2011.8.14

II. EN71 toy certification classification

Toys are classified according to three basic characteristics: entertainment, education and safety. There are many varieties and different classification methods.

1. According to raw materials and technology, it can be divided into metal toys, plastic toys, wood and bamboo toys, plush toys, paper toys and folk toys.

2. According to their functions, they are divided into sports toys, intellectual toys, science and education toys, military toys, decorative toys, etc.

3. It can be divided into elastic toys, inertial toys, winding toys, electric toys, music toys and electronic toys according to the state.

4. According to age, they are divided into baby toys, baby toys and baby toys.

Because some toys are unsafe, many countries in the world have formulated safety standards for toys. Toys must be inspected, conform to the standards and marked on the products, otherwise production, sale and import are prohibited. Most countries adopt the International Toy Safety Standard (ITS) formulated by the International Toy Industry Commission.

Third-party testing of children's products

The new law requires third-party testing of all consumer goods intended for 12-year-olds or younger children. Every manufacturer of children's products (including importers) or private proprietary trademark owner must test the product. The test must be done by an approved independent testing laboratory and, based on the test results, issue a certificate that the product meets all current requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States.

5. Regulations on the Addendum and Use of EN71 Toy Certification Marks

EN71 toy certification instruction has detailed requirements for the graphics, dimensions, proportions and printing of CE logo. The CE logo can be printed and used by the manufacturer itself. However, its size, proportion and printing must meet the following requirements:

1. If the CE logo is reduced or enlarged, the proportion in the picture above must be observed (note: the distance between C and E should also be proportional);

2. The height of C and E should be the same, and the height must be greater than or equal to 5 mm.

3. It is strictly forbidden to add other marks on products that may be mistaken for CE marks by third parties. Only if the visibility and clarity of the CE logo are not reduced, can any other logo be attached to the product or data board.
