DINP, DIDP and DNOP Phthalate Testing in Toys

DINP, DIDP and DNOP Phthalate Testing in Toys: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Phthalates are a class of chemicals used in the production of plastics, coatings, and other materials. However, concerns have been raised about their potential impact on human health and the environment. In response, regulatory bodies around the world have established standards for the testing and control of phthalate levels in consumer products, including toys.

ISO 17025:2018

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 17025:2018, which sets out the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This standard emphasizes the importance of laboratory accreditation and the need for laboratories to demonstrate their technical competence in specific testing areas.

EN 71:2011A1:2015

The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) has published EN 71:2011A1:2015, which sets out the requirements for safety and health protection of toys. This standard includes provisions related to phthalate levels in toys.

TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) is responsible for developing and publishing standards for Turkey. TSE has published TS EN 71:2011A1:2015, which is identical to the European standard.

ASTM D4236-17

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has published ASTM D4236-17, which sets out the requirements for testing of toys for compliance with safety standards. This standard includes provisions related to phthalate levels in toys.

Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

SDOs such as ISO, CENELEC, and ASTM play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards. These organizations bring together experts from industry, government, and other stakeholders to develop standards that meet the needs of users.

How Standards Evolve

Standards are living documents that evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and user needs. SDOs regularly review and update standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.
