EU EN71 certification

Basic introduction

EN71 is the norm for toys in the EU market. Children are the most concerned and loved group in the whole society. The toy market that children generally love is developing rapidly. At the same time, various types of toys cause harm to children from time to time. Therefore, countries around the world The requirements are becoming increasingly strict. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and production companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before they are sold in the region. The manufacturer must be held responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or the use of inappropriate materials. As a result, the EN71 certification law for toys was introduced in Europe, and its significance is to adopt EN71 standards to technically regulate toy products entering the European market, thereby reducing or avoiding the harm of toys to children.

Latest revision

EN 71-1: 2005 + A9: 2009 released the latest revision 9, approved by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) on May 23, 2009, and finally released by CEN Technical Committee CEN / TC52 "Toy Safety" in July 2009 Version (EN 71-1: 2005 + A9: 2009), covering previously published amendments. The European Commission officially published the new toy safety coordination standard EN71-1: 2011 in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on June 18, 2011. The new harmonized standard is based on the new toy safety directive 2009/48 / EC (effective date: July 20, 2011). According to the requirements of the new toy safety directive, all toys placed on the EU market after July 20, 2011 must comply with the EN71-1: 2011 new harmonized toy standard.
The new version (EN 71-1: 2005 + A9: 2009) replaces EN 71-1: 2005 + A8: 2009 requiring its member states * to adopt and publish the new version as a national standard, withdrawn at the latest in January 2010. This conflicts with national standards.
The amendment has not been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The process of adopting and changing standards is very complicated. First, national authorities, laboratories, and consumer organizations among the industrial representatives of CEN (European Committee for Standardization) discussed and agreed to change the standard, and then CEN issued the EN 71 standard. However, the standards issued by CEN may not be able to become a unified standard. It will become a uniform standard only after it is published by the European Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union. It was only after the standard was published in the Official Journal of the European Union that it was accepted and met the basic requirements of the Toys Directive. Therefore, the standard needs to be issued twice before becoming a regulation:
1. Published by CEN (European Committee for Standardization);
2. Can be used as a unified standard after it is published by the European Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union.
A7 revision In addition to adding early warning requirements for rocking horses and similar toys, editorial amendments were also mainly made. A large description of age warnings for toys that are not suitable for children under 36 months has been added.
The A8 amendment clarifies the safety requirements for magnet toys. However, this requirement does not apply to functional magnets (such as motors, relays, speakers, etc.) and all magnets / electrical test devices with a magnetic flux coefficient of less than 50kG2mm2 in electrical or electronic component toys, or those that cannot fully enter the small object measuring cylinder. Magnet / electrical test device. The packaging and instructions for use of the magnet / electrical test device shall bear warning signs:
"Warning! Not suitable for children under 8 years of age. This product contains small magnets. Swallowing magnets can form intestinal adhesions that can cause serious injury. If you swallow the magnets by mistake, consult a doctor immediately."
The revised A8 version also applies to the safety warning requirements for magnet toys in EC Directive 2008/329 / EC 2,3.
