EN 71 (European Standard for Toy Safety)

EN 71 is the European standard that sets safety requirements for toys to ensure they are safe for children. It covers aspects like mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and the presence of harmful chemicals. Manufacturers must test toys to meet these standards before selling them in Europe. This helps prevent accidents, injuries, and exposure to toxic substances, giving parents confidence that toys are designed and produced with safety in mind. Overall, EN 71 aims to protect children while they play and explore.
