Comprehensive Guide to EN 71-23 Safety of Toys with Moving Parts Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The European Unions Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) sets forth the requirements for the safety assessment of toys in the EU market. One of the critical aspects of this regulation is the testing of toys with moving parts to ensure they meet the necessary safety standards.

The European Standard EN 71:2014A12:2020 specifies the safety requirements for toys, including those with moving parts. This standard is part of a series of harmonized standards developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The standard is based on the principles of risk assessment and management, which involve identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing control measures to minimize harm.

The EN 71-23 Safety of Toys with Moving Parts testing service provided by Eurolab is a comprehensive laboratory test that evaluates the safety of toys with moving parts. This testing service ensures compliance with the relevant EU regulations and standards, including:
