I. Introduction to toys EN71 certification
The toy EN71 certification is the European Union's normative standard for toy products. Its significance is to pass EN71 certification standards to technically regulate toy products entering the European market, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children.
Second, toy EN71 certification mark
Third, toy EN71 certification product coverage
The Toy Directive is applicable to any product or material designed or intended for children under 14 years of age. If powered, the power supply voltage cannot exceed 24V.
Fourth, toy EN71 certification technical information
If toy products are legally sold in the European Union, they must meet the requirements of the Toy Directive 88/378 / EEC and be marked with the CE mark. The toy general standard EN71 test certification includes the following tests:
——EN71 Part 1 Physical and Mechanical test.
——EN71 Part 2 Flammalility test.
——EN71 Part 3 Chemical test Chemical test for eight toxic elements.
——EN71 Part4 user manual.
▲ Wireless communication interrupt instruction test R & TTE instruction 1999/5 / EC; if it is a radio remote control toy, for example: remote control toy car, ship, airplane, toy walkie-talkie, etc. (27MHz, 40MHz, 49MHz, 433MHz, 863MHz, 2.4GHz), also Requirements include: RADIO (RF) + EMC + LVD test.
▲ EMC Directive Test EMC Directive (89/336 / EEC); for electric toys, including battery-powered toys and toys with AC / DC conversion power. In addition to the EN71 toy general standard test, it also needs to comply with relevant electromagnetic compatibility standards, including: EMI (electromagnetic radiation): EN55022, EN55014-1, EN61000-3-2 / 3; EMS (electromagnetic immunity): EN55014-2, EN50082-1.
▲ Safety test for electric toys EN50088; This standard includes all electric toys and is also applicable to electrical construction sets, electrical functional toys, or experimental sets. However, transformers and chargers used with toys cannot be used as toys, and corresponding electrical safety standards must be used. The main testing contents of EN50088 include: signs and instructions, input power, temperature rise and abnormal operation, electrical strength, mechanical strength, structure, wires, screws and components, creepage distances and clearances, fire resistance, heat resistance, toxic and similar Hazards, etc.
I. Introduction to EN71 toy certification
Children's products: Consumer products designed and produced for children 12 years of age or younger, including but not limited to children's toys and child care products.
Children's toys: Consumer products designed for children 12 years of age or younger to play with.
Child care products: Consumer products designed and produced for children 3 years of age or younger to assist children in sleeping, feeding, or helping children suck or teeth.
Toys that can be placed in the mouth: toys that can be sucked or chewed by a child's mouth. If it can only be licked with the tongue, it is not considered to be put in the mouth. If the size of a toy or part of a toy is less than 5 cm, the toy is considered to be placed in the mouth.
More than 70% of the toys sold in the international export toy market come from China. The United States is the world's largest toy importer, followed by Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Italy.
As a big country in toy production and sales, the quality of toys directly affects the physical and mental health of children, and in the increasingly fierce competition in the international toy market, it directly affects the smooth flow of domestic and foreign markets for toys. Therefore, "toy safety" has become an international focus topic. Countries and corresponding organizations have launched their own toy standards, and the content is continuously 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 ASTMF963, American Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act CPSIA, Japanese toy safety standard ST2002, etc.
Many toy companies in China do not know about toy standards and cannot organize production in accordance with the standards, resulting in poor product quality and not meeting the requirements of toy exporting countries. In particular, the safety performance of toys is poor. Therefore, incidents of detention, destruction, and recall continue to cause not only direct physical injury to children, but also only a huge waste of human, material and financial resources. Therefore, domestic toy companies must attach great importance to the management of toy safety standards, accurately understand the toy safety standards of various countries, and plan ahead to ensure that the quality of product safety is improved.
Second, EN71 toy certification testing items
1. Material quality
Toys are made of new or reprocessed materials. If reprocessed materials are used, they must be refined so that their hazardous content meets the requirements of 1.3.1.
Flammability
Non-textile (excluding paper) materials used in toys must not 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 shall meet the requirements of 16CFR 1610. The flammability test procedures for toys, a description of 16CFR 1500.44, are in Appendix A5.
3. Toxicity
Toxic Substances-Toys or materials used in toys must comply with the FHSA and relevant regulations issued under the FHSA. 16 CFR 1500.85 lists certain types of toys that are not regulated by the FHSA. The above-mentioned relevant regulations set limits for toxic, corrosive, irritating, sensitized, stress-producing, radioactive, flammable and combustible substances. It should be noted that some states may have stricter regulations on toxic substances than federal regulations. Maximum soluble content of transferred elements in toy materials Unit: ppm (mg / kg)
Elements: Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Barium (Ba), Cadmium (Cb), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg), Selenium (Se)
Limits: 90 25 60 1000 75 60 60 500
4. Restriction on lead content:
Lead in surface coating materials: Since August 14, 2009, 16CFR 1303 has been reduced from 600ppm to 90ppm. Testing of lead content from
