Children's toys exported to Europe need EN71 certification? The latest standards!
With the rapid development of China's toy manufacturing industry, more and more companies are turning their attention to the European market. However, if you want to successfully enter the European market, EN71 certification is a key link that cannot be avoided. This article will comprehensively analyze the latest standards and requirements of EN71 certification to help toy export companies successfully open up the European market.
EN71 certification is a mandatory standard formulated by the European Union for the safety of children's toys, aiming to ensure that toys do not pose a threat to children's health and safety. The standard covers the physical and mechanical properties, flammability, chemical properties and other aspects of toys. According to the provisions of the EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, all toys entering the EU market must pass EN71 certification and be affixed with the CE mark.
The latest version of the EN71 standard mainly includes the following parts:
1. EN71-1: Physical and mechanical properties test
This part mainly evaluates the mechanical properties of toys, including sharp edges, small parts, rope length and other factors that may cause harm to children. The latest standard strengthens the control of magnetic toys, requiring that magnetic parts must be firmly fixed to prevent them from being swallowed by children.
2. EN71-2: Flammability Test
This section specifies the combustion performance requirements of toy materials. The latest standard pays special attention to the flame retardant performance of cosmetics and plush toys, requiring these products to use flame retardant materials or undergo flame retardant treatment.
3. EN71-3: Specific Element Migration Test
This section specifies the migration limits of 19 harmful elements, including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. The latest standard further reduces the limit values of some elements, such as the limit of lead from 13.5mg/kg to 2.0mg/kg.
4. EN71-9: Organic Compound Requirements
Added restrictions on organic compounds in toys, including harmful substances such as phthalates and formaldehyde. The latest standard expands the number of phthalates from 3 to 6.
5. EN71-12: Nitrosamines and Nitrosogenic Substances
This is the latest addition, mainly for elastic materials that may release nitrosamines, such as rubber, balloons, etc.
When applying for EN71 certification, companies need to pay attention to the following processes:
1. Prepare samples: select representative product samples
2. Select a certification body: it must be a third-party testing agency recognized by the EU
3. Conduct tests: select corresponding test items according to product characteristics
4. Prepare technical documents: including product design drawings, material lists, test reports, etc.
5. Obtain a certificate: obtain an EN71 certification certificate after passing the test
It is worth noting that the EN71 standard will be updated regularly, and companies need to pay close attention to changes in the standard. The latest revision in 2023 mainly strengthened the control of electronic toys, requiring all electronic toys to comply with the EN62115 standard. At the same time, stricter environmental protection requirements are also proposed for toy packaging materials.
For Chinese companies, to successfully pass the EN71 certification, it is recommended to take the following measures:
1. Consider the certification requirements from the design stage
2. Strictly control the quality of raw materials
3. Establish a sound quality management system
4. Conduct internal testing regularly
5. Maintain close communication with professional certification agencies
EN71 certification is not only a pass to enter the European market, but also an important opportunity to improve product quality. The certification process can help companies discover and improve safety hazards in product design and improve product competitiveness. With the continuous improvement of the European market's toy safety requirements, Chinese companies can only win the first opportunity in the fierce international competition by actively adapting to these standards.
Finally, it should be reminded that the validity period of EN71 certification is usually 1-3 years, and companies need to renew the certification regularly. At the same time, different EU member states may have additional requirements. Be sure to understand the specific regulations of the target market before exporting.
