Comprehensive Guide to EN 71-18 Toy Parts Attachment Strength Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

EN 71-18 is a harmonized European standard for safety assessment of toy parts, specifically addressing the attachment strength of small parts. This standard is part of the EUs Safety Assessment and Management Procedure for Toys (SAMPT) and is mandatory for all toys sold in the EU market.

The standard requires that toy parts must not detach from the toy during use, ensuring that children are protected from choking hazards. The testing procedure involves subjecting the small parts to a series of mechanical stresses, simulating normal use conditions.

International and National Standards

  • ISO 8124-1:2019 (Safeguarding against risks due to small parts)

  • EN 71-18:2018 (Safety assessment of toy parts Attachment strength)

  • ASTM F963-19 (Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are responsible for developing and maintaining EN 71-18.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The EUs General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) regulates toy safety, requiring manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with relevant harmonized standards.

    EN 71-18 is essential for ensuring the safety of children using toys. The standard addresses specific risks associated with small parts, including choking hazards and mechanical injuries.
