In the cross-border e-commerce sector, the market demand for toy products continues to grow. However, to enter the European market, meeting stringent safety standards is a top priority. The 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 EU EN71-1/2/3 testing requirements and application process for children's toys.
EU EN71-1/2/3 Testing Requirements for Children's Toys
First, let’s understand what EN71-1/2/3 represents:
EN71-1: Mechanical and Physical Properties Testing
This testing ensures that toys do not pose mechanical or physical hazards to children. Test items include sharp edges, small parts, pressure tests, tensile tests, etc., to confirm that toys will not cause physical harm under normal use or foreseeable misuse.
EN71-2: Flammability Testing
The flammability of toys is a critical safety indicator. EN71-2 requires that toy materials meet specific safety standards for burning speed and flame spread when exposed to a fire source, thereby reducing fire risks.
EN71-3: Migration of Certain Elements Testing
This section focuses on harmful elements that may be present in toy materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and other heavy metals. The test ensures that these hazardous elements do not migrate during normal use, protecting children's health.
