EN71 (European Toy Safety Standard)

EN71 is a European safety standard that sets requirements for toys to ensure they are safe for children. It covers aspects such as mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and chemical composition, including limits on harmful substances. The standard aims to prevent choking hazards, injury, or exposure to toxic materials, giving parents and regulators confidence that toys meet consistent safety criteria across Europe. Manufacturers testing their products against EN71 help ensure toys are safe for children to play with, reducing risks associated with accidents and harmful chemicals.
