Project background
EN71 series of toy safety standards in the EU, CEN (European Standardization Committee) for toy safety directive 2009/48/EC (88/378/EEC) to develop a series of specific technical requirements and test specification.EN 71 series of standards relating to toy safety and environmental protection related indexes, and covered the majority of toy products, toys products in all EU sales the need to comply with EN 71 standard.POCE detection can be carried out as Baoce EN71 test items, to ensure that products meet the EU EN71 standard strict requirements for products.
Standard content
The EN 71 test criteria involve the following 11 broad categories:
EN 71-1: physical and mechanical tests;
EN 71-2: flammability test;
EN 71-3: toxic metal migration test;
EN 71-4: chemical experiment toys;
EN 71-5: non experimental chemical toy;
EN 71-6: age warning label map;
EN, 71-7: coatings, coating requirements;
EN71-8: for rocking and sliding and similar toys for indoor and outdoor family entertainment;
EN 71-9:General requirements for organic compounds in toys;
EN 71-10:Sample preparation and extraction of organic compounds;
EN 71-11:Analytical methods for organic compounds;
Key standards
- EN71-3:2013 came into force in July 20, 2013
As a chemical coordination standard for the new toy directive (2009/48/EC), EN71-3:2013 also came into effect in July 20, 2013. Compared with the previous version of EN71-3, the 2013 edition has changed a lot
To keep in line with the 2009/48/EC, EN71-3:2013 is divided into three categories according to the extent to which children may ingest:
| classification | first kind | second kind | Class III |
| Toy material category | Class 1: dry, brittle, powdery or flexible toy material | Second category: liquid or sticky toy material | The third category: toy materials that can be scraped away |
| paraphrase |
Powder material released from a solid toy material during play |
Fluid or adhesive toy material that may be ingested and / or exposed to skin lesions |
Because the teeth bite, sucking or licking tear, and ingested solid toy materials. |
| give typical examples |
1. compression Qipian 2. color pencil core 3. chalk 4. crayons 5. other solid materials intended to leave ink or notes 6. rubber mud 7. impression cream |
1. watercolor paint for painting 2. paint, varnish 3. pen ink 4. liquid adhesive 5. glue 6. gel ooze 7. foam solution 8. other contact liquid material |
1. surface coating (paint, varnish, ink, etc.) 2. plastic, rubber, silica gel and other polymer materials 3. paper and paperboard materials 4. textile materials 5. glass, ceramics, metal materials 6. wood, fibreboard, bone, cortical material |
| Children assume daily intake | 100 mg / day | 400 mg / day |
8 mg / day |
The test object includes 19 chemical elements (including six trivalent and hexavalent chromium, organic tin and tin elements were counted separately, so it is the 17 elements), retained the 8 elements of the original, and 9 different elements, at the same time reduced the migration quantity of most elements limit:

Note that in EN71-3:2013, the migration amount of chromium six first and second in toy materials limit is too low, can not be detected by EN71-3:2013 test method, therefore, must be proved by other methods in accordance with the requirements; in addition, EN71-3:2013 removed the application analysis of the correction factor.
POCE prompt
In addition to the EU EN 71 series of standards, we can also according to other key standards for toy products testing, such as:
American ASTM F 963
Canadian Canadian Hazardous Products (Toys) Regulation
Australia AS/NZS ISO 8124
Japan ST 2002
Chinese GB 6675
