EU EN71 testing is mainly aimed at children's toy products to ensure their safety and prevent harmful products from entering the EU market. Before entering the EU market, educational toys need to pass EN71 certification to ensure that they meet EU safety standards. The EN71 certification process includes multiple steps, as follows:
1. Determine the product category:
- Determine which part of the EN71 standard the educational toys belong to and which specific requirements need to be met.
2. Prepare technical documents:
- Prepare technical documents that meet the requirements of the EN71 standard, including product specifications, design drawings, material safety assessment reports, etc.
3. Conduct tests:
- According to the requirements of the EN71 standard, conduct necessary safety performance tests on educational toys, such as mechanical performance tests, chemical performance tests, ignition performance tests, etc.
4. Evaluate compliance:
- Ensure that the product meets the relevant requirements of the EN71 standard, including safety, health and environmental protection requirements.
5. Signing EC certification documents:
- The manufacturer or its authorized representative needs to sign an EC certification document stating that the product meets the requirements of the EN71 standard.
6. Apply for certification:
- Submit technical documents and test reports to the certification body to apply for EN71 certification.
7. Review and evaluation:
- The certification body will review and evaluate the submitted technical documents and test reports to ensure that the product meets the requirements of the EN71 standard.
8. Issuance of certificate:
- If the product meets the requirements, the certification body will issue an EN71 certification certificate.
9. Marking the CE mark:
- Marking the CE mark on the product indicates that the product has passed the EN71 certification, meets the relevant requirements of the EU, and can be sold in the EU market.
It should be noted that the EN71 certification is not a one-time thing. The certification certificate is usually valid for one year and needs to be re-applied for certification after expiration. In addition, the EN71 standard may be updated, so you need to pay attention to the new version and adjust the product design in time.
Through the above steps, it can be ensured that educational toys meet EU safety standards and enter the EU market smoothly.
