This part specifies the safety technical requirements and test methods for the mechanical and physical properties of toys of different age groups used from newborn infants to 14 years old children, as well as the requirements for packaging, marking, and instructions for use。
This part specifies the types of flammable materials prohibited for all toys and the requirements for the combustion performance of some small fire source toys. The flammability requirements and test methods of five types of toy materials are specified in detail.
This part specifies the maximum limit and test method of transportable elements (antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, tin) inaccessible parts or materials of toys.
This part specifies the safety technical requirements for experimental toys for specific chemical and related activities.
This part specifies the safety technical requirements for other specific chemical toys except for chemical and related experimental toys.
This part mainly determines the label symbol of toys - age warning, including the illustration and its meaning.
This part specifies the safety technical requirements and test methods for specific finger paint.
This part specifies the safety technical requirements and test methods of swings, slides, and similar toys for indoor or outdoor use in specific families, mainly in mechanical and physical aspects.
Requirements are put forward for the EN 71-9 standard of some organic chemical compounds migrated or contained in toys and toy materials. Products within the scope of the standard include toys designed for children under 3 years of age (because these toys may be chewed by children in the mouth), And products designed for older children (these products may come into contact with children's mouth, skin or be inhaled by children.) EN 71-9 specifies the upper limit of listed organic compounds. The standards should be read together with EN 71-10 and EN 71-11 standards because these two sets of standards focus on the preparation and extraction of samples and their respective analytical methods.
These three standards are divided into three parts: mechanical and physical performance, combustion performance, and migration of specific elements. As long as they pass the requirements of the EN 71 test, they meet the requirements of these three standards. The first and second parts are generally regarded as the overall test, and the third part is the same as EN 71-3.
This part can be tested according to customer requirements.
Laboratory samples for testing must be in sale condition or toys for sale condition. The test part must be removed from the accessible part of a separate toy sample, that is, the same material on the toy can be combined as a separate test part, but no other toy sample can be used. The test section is not allowed to contain more than one material or more than one color unless physical separation methods do not allow the formation of separated samples, such as spot dyeing, printed fabrics, or due to limited weight.
The test part of the material less than 10mg will not be tested. To ensure the accuracy of the test, if the sample weight is insufficient, please ask the customer to provide the raw materials of the test sample or provide several sets of samples.
The following transfers of elements of toy materials are included in the requirements of this section:
1. Paints, varnishes, nitrocelluloses, inks, polymer coatings and similar coatings;
2. Polymeric materials and similar materials, including laminated materials reinforced with or without textiles, but excluding other textiles;
3. Paper and cardboard;
4. Textiles, whether natural or synthetic;
5. Glass/Ceramic/Metallic materials: These materials do not need to be tested if they are completely covered by a coating and are determined to be inaccessible under EN 71-1. If the material is partially covered by a coating and the surface is still accessible, remove the coating first and test the toy and parts.
6. Other materials, whether heavily colored or not (e.g. wood, fiberboard, cardboard, bone, and leather);
7. Materials for leaving traces (such as graphite in pencils and liquid ink in pens);
8. Soft modeling materials, including modeling clay and gel;
9. Paints, including finger paint paints, varnishes, nitro paints, glazes, and similar materials in solid or liquid form on toys.
Attention: EN 71-3 does not include certain toys and parts of toys which, by their accessibility, function, quality, size, or other characteristics, clearly preclude the danger posed by sucking, licking, or swallowing when taking into account the normal and foreseeable behavior of the child. The following guidelines apply to determining the extent of sucking, licking, or swallowing:
ASTM standards are documents developed and published by ASTM International. The complete form of ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials, the predecessor of this organization. Although these standards are voluntary, they are often referred to, quoted, and incorporated in codes, regulations, and laws around the world.
Toy Safety Standard ASTM F963 has been revised, the current version of ASTM F963-17: Toy Safety Standard Consumer Safety Specification revised and supersedes the 2016 edition, ASTM F963 is mandatory. ASTM F963-17 Test method covers toy testing to determine their application and suitable age group. The possible hazards of different toys are explained in detail, and suggestions for improvement are given. The method identifies the nature of hazards and children's natural inclination to cope with them, and the method covers the effective packaging and transportation of toys.
In addition to the guidelines, ASTM F963-17 contains testing methods for toys used by children under 14 years old. Since toys vary in their components and uses, the document covers the various materials for which safety requirements are covered.
Chemical and heavy metal restrictions:These substances include lead, cadmium, and phthalates. Products and materials containing excessive restricted substances (i.e. exceeding the set limit) do not meet the requirements of ASTM F963-17. Unlike EN71-3, ASTMF963 adds the test of total lead, but only the surface coating is required for the material.
Mechanical and physical properties:ASTM F963-17 specifies the mechanical and physical requirements for toys. For example, sharp points, small parts, removable parts, etc. Mechanical and physical properties have a direct impact on the design of toys because elements must be implemented on the drawing board to meet ASTM F963-17. Requirements for physical and mechanical properties mainly involve impact tests, drop tests, tensile tests for component removal, pressure tests, deflection tests, and so on. Products whose design is inherently non-compliant simply cannot pass ASTM F963-17.
Electrical safetyThe standard also covers requirements related to electrical safety, because some children's toys contain electrical components or batteries. Therefore, these components mustn't harm the children who use them.
Electrical safety aspects of ASTM F963-17 may affect the PCB and wiring diagram. These must be considered at the toy design stage.
Small partsASTM F963-17 covers the requirements for small objects and small parts, which must be subject to mandatory testing in a laboratory approved by CPSC.
The requirements for small parts will affect the beads, buttons, and plastic eyes on plush toys. It also affects components that can be removed, disassembled, or separated by children - which in turn may cause asphyxiation hazards.
InflammableSome toys must be tested to ensure that they are not excessively flammable. After a fire, the spontaneous combustion speed of the toy along the main axis should be less than 2.5 mm/s to avoid this situation when children play near heat or fire sources.
