EN71 is the normative standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most caring and caring group in the whole society. The toy market that children generally love is developing rapidly. At the same time, all kinds of toys cause harm to children due to various quality problems. Therefore, the toys of the world are on the domestic market. 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. Manufacturers are responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or the use of inappropriate materials. In this way, the toy EN71 certification law was introduced in Europe, which means that the toy products entering the European market are technically regulated by the EN71 standard, thereby reducing or avoiding the damage of toys to children.
Latest revision :
EN 71-1:2005 + A9:2009 released the latest revision 9, which was approved by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) on May 23, 2009, and was finally released by CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC52 “Toy Safety” in July 2009. Version (EN 71-1:2005 +A9:2009), covering previously published revisions. 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 standards are set in accordance with 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 in the EU market after July 20, 2011 must comply with the new coordinated toy standard EN71-1:2011.
The new version (EN 71-1:2005 + A9:2009) replaces EN 71-1:2005 + A8:2009 requires its member states* to adopt and release the new version as a national standard, and at the latest in January 2010 This is a contradictory national standard.
The amendment has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The process of adopting and changing standards is very complicated. First, the national authorities, laboratories and consumer organizations in the industrial representatives of the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) have agreed to change the standards, and then the EN 71 standard is issued by CEN. However, the standards issued by CEN may not be a unified standard. Only after the European Commission publishes this standard in the Official Journal of the European Union will it become a unified standard. It was only accepted after the publication of the standard in the Official Journal of the European Union and it met the basic requirements of the Toys Directive. therefore,
The standard needs to be released twice before becoming a regulation:
1. Issued by CEN (European Standardization Committee);
2. It can be used as a unified standard after being published by the European Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union.
In addition to the increased warning requirements for rocking horses and similar toys, the A7 amendments have mainly been edited. For the age warning not suitable for children's toys under 36 months, a large description has been added.
The A8 amendment clarifies the safety requirements for magnet toys. However, this requirement does not apply to functional magnets (eg, motors, relays, speakers, etc.) in electrical or electronic component toys and all magnet/electrical test devices with magnetic flux coefficients less than 50 kG2 mm2, or incomplete access to small object cylinders. Magnet/electrical test device. The packaging and instructions for use of the magnet/electrical test device shall be marked with a warning:
“Warning! Not suitable for children under 8 years old. This product contains tiny magnets. Swallowing magnets may cause intestinal adhesions, which can cause serious injuries. If you accidentally swallow magnets, please consult a doctor promptly.”
The A8 revision also applies to the safety warning requirements for magnet toys in EC Directive 2008/329/EC 2,3.
