What is the EN71-1 Test? What are the EN71 Test Items?

In today's society, children's safety has become a crucial concern for all parents, guardians, and society as a whole. With the development of technology and the expansion of the market, there is a wide variety of toys; they are not only a source of joy for children but also harbor potential safety risks. Therefore, ensuring toy safety has become an indispensable responsibility for manufacturers and sellers. This brings us to an important standard—EN71-1. Below, JJR LAB shares what the EN71-1 test is and what the EN71 test items include.

What is the EN71-1 Test?

EN71-1 is a part of the European toy safety standard, specifically targeting the physical and mechanical properties of toys. It establishes a series of detailed test methods and requirements aimed at ensuring that toys do not cause harm to children during use. From small parts anti-choking tests to edge sharpness tests, and from toy stability evaluations to tension and compression tests, EN71-1 covers all aspects of toy safety.

What are the EN71 Test Items?

• Small Parts Test: Ensures that small parts do not pose a choking hazard to children after normal use or foreseeable wear and tear.

• Sharp Edge Test: Inspects all accessible edges and sharp points to ensure they will not cut or puncture children.

• Tension Test: Evaluates the durability of components when subjected to a specific amount of tension, preventing accidental injuries when children pull on the toy.

• Compression Test: Simulates the toy's performance under heavy pressure to ensure its structural stability and safety.
