According to the EU EN71 standard, children's decorations need to undergo a series of safety tests before entering the EU market to ensure that they meet the EU's safety and environmental protection requirements. The EN71 standard mainly covers the physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical properties and other aspects of toys. The following are the main items of the EU EN71 test for children's decorations:

1. Physical and mechanical properties test (EN71-1):

- Drop test: evaluate the durability and safety of decorations when they fall.

- Small parts test: ensure that the decorations do not produce small parts to avoid the risk of children swallowing.

- Sharp edge test: check whether the decorations have sharp edges to prevent children from getting hurt.

- Tensile test: test whether the parts of the decorations are firm to prevent them from falling off during use.

- Pressure test: evaluate the structural stability of the decorations when under pressure.

2. Flammability test (EN71-2):

- Burning rate test: evaluate the flame retardant properties of the decoration materials to ensure their safety in fire.

- Material flammability assessment: check whether the materials used in the decorations meet the EU's flammability requirements.

3. Chemical performance test (EN71-3):

- Migration test of specific elements: Test the limit requirements of migratable elements in accessible parts or materials in decorations, especially the restrictions on heavy metals and chemicals, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, etc.

4. Hazardous substance detection:

- Formaldehyde detection: Evaluate the formaldehyde content in decorations to ensure that they meet EU safety standards.

- Phthalates detection: Detect the content of phthalates in decorations to ensure that they are within the safe range.

5. Electrical performance test (if applicable):

- Electrical strength and dielectric strength test: Evaluate the electrical safety of decorations.

- Insulation resistance test: Check the insulation performance of decorations.

- Battery safety performance test: Ensure that the batteries used in decorations are safe and reliable.

- Electromagnetic compatibility test: Evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility performance of decorations.

6. Packaging and labeling:

- Safety assessment of packaging materials: Check whether the packaging materials of decorations are safe to avoid harm to children.

- Warning and safety labels: Ensure that the warning labels, safety labels and instructions for use on the decorations meet EU requirements.

These testing items ensure the safety of children's decorations during design, production and use to protect children from potential harm. Manufacturers and importers must ensure that their products meet all applicable EN71 standard requirements before placing them on the EU market.
