EN71: TOY SAFETY STANDARDS AND TESTING
Toys are an essential part of childhood, providing entertainment, education, and developmental benefits. However, they can pose a serious safety hazard if not made with quality materials and manufactured to meet safety standards. This is where the EN71 comes into play. In the European Union, toys are regulated by the EN71 Toy Safety Standard, which provides guidelines for the safety and quality of toys. Compliance with this standard is mandatory for all toys sold in the European Union, and failure to comply can result in legal action, including fines and product recalls.
What is EN71 Toy Safety Testing?
EN71 Toy Safety Standard is a European Union directive that outlines safety requirements for toys. It covers various aspects of toy quality control, including physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. The standard applies to all toys sold in the European Union, regardless of where they are manufactured.
EN71 testing involves evaluating a toy's safety by assessing its design, manufacture, and materials. Accredited laboratories conduct the tests, including physical and chemical tests and assessments of the toy's packaging and labelling.
