Steps for Obtaining an EU EN71 Test Report for Electronic Remote Control Toys
I. Preliminary Preparation Stage
1. Determine Product Information: Confirm the type of remote control toy (car, boat, airplane, robot, etc.), applicable age, power supply method (battery/USB, etc.), and materials used (plastic, metal, electronic components, etc.).
2. Select a Testing Institution: Choose a third-party laboratory with EU accreditation (such as CNAS, CMA international mutual recognition, e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083), prioritizing institutions with EN71 testing experience.
3. Prepare Technical Documents: Product manual, circuit diagram, bill of materials (BOM), packaging sketches, warning label design drafts, etc.
II. Application and Submission Stage
4. Complete the Testing Application Form: Submit product model, specifications, technical parameters, etc. The laboratory will assess the required testing standards based on this information.
5. Send Samples: Typically, 3-5 complete samples (including the remote control and accessories) are required, along with necessary batteries, chargers, etc.
III. Testing and Reporting Stage
6. Laboratory Testing: Testing is conducted according to the EN 71 series standards. Core items include:
EN 71-1: Physical and mechanical properties (drop, impact, tensile strength, sharp edges and angles, etc.)
EN 71-2: Flammability
EN 71-3: Chemical properties (migration of 19 heavy metals)
EN 62115 (for electronic and electric toys): Electrical safety testing
7. Issuance of Test Report: After passing the test, the laboratory issues an EN71 test report (usually within 5-7 working days).
IV. Subsequent Application Stage
8. Affixing CE Marking: With the report, the CE marking is affixed. After preparing the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and information on the authorized representative in the EU, the product can be sold in the EU market.
Notes
Remote control toys are classified as electronic and electric toys. In addition to EN71, they usually also need to meet the requirements of EN 62115 and the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU).
Test reports generally do not expire, but retesting is required if product design, materials, or standards are updated.
Before affixing the CE mark, ensure all compliance procedures are completed; otherwise, there is a risk of customs seizure and penalties.
