EN 71 (Safety of Toys) Standard Series

← Back to all standards

EN 71 is the European “Safety of toys” standard series covering mechanical, flammability, and certain chemical hazards. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What EN 71 Covers

It defines the tests used to evaluate common toy hazards, including the mechanical and physical strength tests relevant to toy durability and safety.

How the Test Is Run

Toy specimens are subjected to the applicable mechanical tests, such as tension, torque, and pull, and the results are checked against the safety limits.

Why It Matters

Toy safety verification protects children and supports market access; grips and fixtures suited to small toy parts are essential.
