Introduction to EN 71 Toy Testing

China is a major toy exporting country, and its current primary export target is the European market. On average, toys exported to the European market account for approximately 40% of China's annual toy export volume.


EN 71 is a mandatory standard implemented by European Union countries, specifically targeting toys designed for children under the age of 14. Its significance lies in standardizing the technical specifications of toy products entering the European market through the en 71 standard, thereby reducing or entirely preventing injuries to children caused by toys.
