Educational toys need to undergo EN71 testing before entering the EU market to ensure their safety and compliance. EN71 is the standard for toys in the EU market, covering physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical properties and other aspects of toys. The following is the main process of EU EN71 testing of educational toys:
1. Determine the test items:
- According to the type and characteristics of the toy, determine the EN71 series of standard test items that need to be carried out.
- Educational toys usually need to pay attention to the following parts:
- EN71-1: Physical and mechanical performance tests, including drop tests, small parts tests, sharp edge tests, tensile tests, pressure tests, etc.
- EN71-2: Flammability test, testing the flammability of toy materials, and specifying the types of flammable materials prohibited in toys and the requirements for combustion performance.
- EN71-3: Migration test of specific elements, mainly for the limit requirements of accessible parts or migratable elements in materials in toys, especially the restrictions on heavy metals and chemicals.
2. Prepare samples and materials:
- Prepare representative toy samples and relevant technical materials, such as design drawings, descriptions, and applicable standards lists, according to the requirements of the testing agency.
3. Fill in the application form:
- Submit the testing application to the testing agency and fill in the relevant application form.
4. Sample testing:
- The testing agency will test the toy samples according to the EN71 series of standards and issue a test report.
5. Issue a report:
- If the test passes, the testing agency will issue a test report or certificate that complies with the EN71 standard.
6. Cycle:
- The toy EN71 testing process usually requires a certain cycle, generally 5-7 working days, depending on the actual product testing situation.
7. Continuous compliance:
- Manufacturers need to continuously ensure that their products meet the requirements of the EN71 standard and update or retest when necessary.
As a subset of children's toys, educational toys also need to meet all the requirements of the EN71 standard. Through the above process, the safety and compliance of educational toys can be ensured when entering the EU market.
