What are the standards for EN71 certification when exporting toys to the EU?

In the cross-border e-commerce sector, the market demand for toy products continues to grow. However, meeting stringent safety standards is a top priority for entering the European market. EN71 certification, as the European toy safety standard, is crucial for ensuring children's safety. Today, the Huabiao Testing team will share with you the standards required for EN71 certification when exporting toys to the EU.

What is EN71 Testing?

EN71 is the regulatory standard for toy products in the EU market, known as the "Toy Safety Standard." It covers various aspects of toy products, including design, manufacturing, labeling, and packaging, ensuring compliance with safety requirements when toys are sold in the EU market. The EN71 standards are divided into the following sections:

1. EN71-1: Physical and Mechanical Properties
   This section focuses on the physical characteristics of toys, including tests for sharp points, edges, small parts, pressure, tension, torque, etc., to ensure toys do not cause physical harm to children during normal use.

2. EN71-2: Flammability
   This section specifies the flammability requirements for toy materials to prevent fire hazards caused by burning toys.

3. EN71-3: Migration of Certain Elements
   Toys may contain harmful elements such as heavy metals. EN71-3 strictly limits the migration levels of these elements to protect children from chemical hazards.

4. EN71-4: Chemical Toys (Experimental Sets)
   For toys like chemical experiment sets, EN71-4 sets special requirements for the chemical composition, packaging, and labeling of the products.

5. EN71-5: Chemical Toys (Microbiological)
   This section applies to toys containing microorganisms, such as bacterial culture sets, ensuring they do not pose health risks to children during use.

6. Other Sections (EN71-6, EN71-7, EN71-8, etc.)
   These sections address specific types of toys, such as age warning labels, finger paints, and home swings, with corresponding safety requirements.
