Remote-controlled robots exported to the EU do indeed need to pass EN62115 testing. This is a prerequisite for electric toys to enter the EU market, effectively ensuring that the products meet core requirements such as electrical and mechanical safety.
I. Overview of Core Information for EN 62115 Testing
1. Scope of Application
- Product Definition: All toys with electric functions, including remote-controlled robots, electric models, electronic experimental devices, etc., designed or intended for use by children under 14 years of age.
- Latest Standard Version: EN IEC 62115:2020+A11:2020 (Officially effective from February 21, 2022, replacing the old EN 62115:2005 series)
2. Main Testing Items (16 core contents)
| Category | Key Testing Points
| Electrical Safety | Input power test, temperature rise and abnormal operation, electrical strength (insulation performance), creepage distance and clearance, moisture resistance, electrical strength at room temperature/operating temperature
| Mechanical Safety | Mechanical strength (impact/drop test), structural stability, wire/screw/component tightness, small parts prevention (avoiding suffocation risk)
| Other Safety | Markings and Instructions (Multilingual Warning Labels), Fire and Heat Resistance, Battery Compatibility (Must comply with IEC 60086/62133 standards), Photobiological Safety (LED Toys)
II. Complete Process for Obtaining a Test Report
1. Preliminary Preparation Stage
- Technical Documentation Preparation: Product design drawings, circuit diagrams, instruction manual (must include warnings required by EN standards), BOM list (component model specifications)
- Sample Requirements: Provide 2-3 complete samples (including packaging, battery/power adapter, and other accessories), ensuring consistency with mass production.
2. Formal Application Process
1. Submit Application Form: Submit product information (name/model/manufacturer information) to a CNAS/CMA accredited third-party testing organization (e.g., Dezewei Testing, CNAS registration number: L8083).
2. Laboratory Testing (5-7 working days): Conduct full-item testing according to EN62115 standards, focusing on:
- Battery overcharge/short circuit protection test (for rechargeable batteries)
- Mechanical impact test (0.5J impact force, 3 impacts)
- Electrical clearance ≥ 0.2mm (adjusted according to operating voltage)
3. Problem rectification: If the test fails, structural optimization is required based on the test report (e.g., adding insulation layer, reinforcing small parts).
4. Report issuance: Upon passing the test, an EN62115 test report will be obtained, which can be used as technical documentation to support CE certification.
5. Subsequent compliance points
- CE marking: The product body must be marked with the CE mark, manufacturer's name, and applicable age range (e.g., "3+").
- EU representative (EC REP): An authorized representative within the EU must be designated to receive inquiries from regulatory agencies.
III. Key points of the latest standard updates in 2025 (must read)
1. New testing requirements:
- USB port safety test (short circuit/overcurrent protection)
- Specific humidity condition test (simulating high humidity environments such as bathrooms)
- Specific safety requirements for electric ride-on toys (e.g., speed limits, braking performance)
2. Labeling reinforcement:
- Button batteries must be labeled with a "Prevent Swallowing" warning icon (size ≥ 10 × 20 mm).
- Transformers must clearly indicate the input/output voltage range.
3. Mechanical Test Adjustments:
- The spring hammer impact force has been reduced from 0.7J to 0.5J (reducing test intensity but increasing the requirements for material toughness).
