What does EN71 mean?
EN71 is a European standard that specifies requirements and testing methods for toy mechanical/physical properties and chemical tests. For example, migration tests that with the implementation of the new EU directive will now include 17 metals instead of the eight previously tested for.
This European standard applies to toys for children, as toys are considered to be any product or material that - wholly or partly - is designed or intended for children under 14 years to play with. All dantoy toys have undergone this test.
Why is the product CE-marked?
All toys must have a CE mark, which shows consumers that the toy meets various requirements for health, safety, and environment. These requirements are common throughout the EU.
The CE mark is the manufacturer's declaration that the toy complies with the requirements in the legislation. The CE mark is common for the European Economic Cooperation and must be placed on selected product groups including toys, electrical products, and personal protective equipment.
Can your toys be recycled?
