EU EN71 Reporting Process for Children's Plastic Dolls
I. Applicable Standard Confirmation
The main EN71 series standards involved in plastic doll testing include:
EN 71-1: Mechanical and physical properties (inspection of small parts, sharp edges, points, etc.)
EN 71-2: Flammability test
EN 71-3: Migration of specific elements (heavy metal content, such as lead, cadmium, phthalates, etc.)
Because plastic dolls contain plastic, may be coated with pigments, and children may put them in their mouths, it is recommended to consider supplementary testing for REACH and RoHS.
II. Application Process (5 Steps)
1. Preliminary Preparation
Confirm the product's applicable age (stricter requirements for children under 3 years old)
Prepare product documents: specification sheet, material list, parts list
Self-inspection: Check for risks in small parts, whether the paint is prone to peeling
2. Selecting a Certification Body
Select a third-party testing laboratory with CNAS and CMA accreditations
Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083
3. Sample Submission and Testing
Provide 5-10 finished dolls (depending on the institution's requirements)
Testing Cycle: Usually 5-7 working days
Expedited processing can be shortened to 3-5 days
4. Test Passing and Report Issuance
The laboratory issues an English version of the EN71 test report.
The report includes: sample information, test methods, limit requirements, and result interpretation.
5. Affixing the CE Mark
EN71 testing is part of the CE conformity assessment.
The seller/manufacturer needs to sign a Declaration of Conformity (DoC).
Affix the CE mark to the product packaging. Mark
III. Key Considerations
Age Grouping: Products for children under 3 years old are prohibited from using small parts; special attention should be paid to eyes, nose, and accessories.
Plastic Material: Migration requirements vary depending on the material (ABS, PP, PE, etc.); material certification is required.
Paint Coating: Special attention should be paid to heavy metal migration in facial paint and nail polish coatings.
Report Validity: Usually 2-3 years, but retesting is required if product materials, processes, or standards are updated.
IV. Cost Reference
The cost of a complete EN71 test for a typical plastic doll is approximately 800-2500 RMB per model, depending on:
Number of Test Items
Number of Material Types
Whether it includes motorized accessories
