Comprehensive Guide to EN 71-6 Organic Chemical Compounds in Toys Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The European Standard EN 71:2018A1:2022 is a regulation that sets the safety requirements for toys sold within the European Union. One of the key aspects of this standard is the testing for organic chemical compounds in toys, which is specified in Part 6 (EN 71-6) of the standard.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The EU has implemented several regulations to ensure the safety of childrens products, including the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC). This directive requires that all toys placed on the market within the EU must meet specific safety requirements. EN 71 is a harmonized standard that is recognized by the EU as fulfilling these requirements.

International and National Standards

EN 71-6 Organic Chemical Compounds in Toys testing is also governed by other international standards, such as:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories

  • ASTM F963.11-14 - Standard Guide for Selection and Use of Test Methods for Determining Compliance with EN 71

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS 14234 - Safety of Toys - Part 6: Organic Chemical Compounds

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and maintaining the EN 71 standard. CEN works closely with other international organizations, such as ISO, to ensure that standards are aligned and consistent.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect new scientific research and technological advancements. The EN 71-6 Organic Chemical Compounds in Toys testing service is no exception. Regular updates to the standard ensure that it remains relevant and effective in protecting consumers.
