Safety of toys - Part 8: Age determination guidelines (ISO/TR 8124-8:2016)

ISO/TR 8124-8:2016 provides guidelines for the determination of the lowest age at which children start playing with toys in specific toy sub-categories and is primarily directed to manufacturers and agencies that evaluate the compliance of toys with safety standards.
This Technical Report can also be used as a reference to determine the appropriateness of toys by earliest age, for use by distributors, institutions, and organizations involved with child play, as well as by paediatric institutions, teachers, other professionals that use toys in their routine activities, and consumers.
The age at which children develop different abilities is unique for each individual child. These guidelines illustrate the age ranges during which a typical child has developed certain abilities.
Although age grading has safety implications, these guidelines are not intended to address specific safety requirements. Specific safety requirements for toys can be found in the ISO 8124 series of toy safety standards (and in other regional toy safety standards and regulations). As an example, such standards will restrict the presence of small parts and small balls in toys intended for certain age groups, due to the choking hazard.
These age determination guidelines are based on the advice of experts and traditional play patterns of children; they might differ from national or regional regulations or directives that classify a toy, or category of toy, as being intended for a different age.
Annex B gives details on how information on electronic toys and electronics in toys was considered in the development of these age determination guidelines.

Sécurité des jouets - Partie 8: Lignes directrices pour la détermination de l'âge (ISO/TR 8124-8:2016)

L'ISO/TR 8124-8:2016 fournit des lignes directrices dans des sous-catégories spécifiques de jouets pour la détermination de l'âge minimum auquel les enfants commencent à jouer avec des jouets des sous-catégories spécifiques de jouets. Ce rapport s'adresse principalement aux fabricants et aux organismes qui évaluent la conformité des jouets aux normes de sécurité.
L'ISO/TR 8124-8:2016 peut également servir de référence pour déterminer l'adéquation des jouets avec l'âge le plus bas, aux distributeurs, aux institutions et aux organismes impliqués dans le jeu des enfants, ainsi qu'aux instituts pédiatriques, aux enseignants, aux autres professionnels qui utilisent des jouets dans leurs activités quotidiennes, et enfin aux consommateurs.
L'âge auquel les enfants développent différentes capacités est propre à chaque enfant. Ces lignes directrices illustrent les tranches d'âge pendant lesquelles un enfant aura normalement développé certaines capacités.
Bien que le classement par âge ait des implications en matière de sécurité, ces lignes directrices ne visent pas à couvrir des exigences de sécurité spécifiques. Les exigences de sécurité spécifiques relatives aux jouets sont fournies dans la série ISO 8124 de normes sur la sécurité des jouets (et dans d'autres normes et réglementations locales portant sur la sécurité des jouets). Par exemple, ces normes limitent la présence de petits éléments et de petites balles dans les jouets destinés à certains groupes d'âge, en raison du danger d'étouffement.
Ces lignes directrices pour la détermination de l'âge reposent sur des avis de spécialistes et sur les habitudes de jeu traditionnelles des enfants; elles peuvent diverger de la réglementation ou des directives nationales ou locales classifiant un jouet, ou une catégorie de jouets, comme étant destiné à un âge différent.
L'Annexe B détaille la façon dont les informations sur les jouets électroniques et l'électronique dans les jouets ont été prises en compte dans l'élaboration de ces lignes directrices.

Varnost igrač - 8. del: Smernice za določitev starosti (ISO/TR 8124-8:2016)

To tehnično poročilo podaja smernice za določitev najnižje starosti, pri kateri se otroci začnejo igrati z igračami posameznih podkategorij, ki ga primarno uporabljajo proizvajalci in agencije, ki ocenjujejo skladnost igrač z varnostnimi standardi.
To tehnično poročilo se lahko uporablja tudi kot referenca pri ugotavljanju primernosti igrač v povezavi z najnižjo starostjo uporabnikov. Uporabljajo ga lahko distributerji, ustanove in organizacije, ki se ukvarjajo z otroško igro, ter tudi pediatrične ustanove, učitelji, drugi strokovnjaki, ki uporabljajo igrače pri svojih dejavnostih, in potrošniki.
Starost, pri kateri otroci razvijejo različne sposobnosti, je odvisna od posameznega otroka. Te smernice prikazujejo starostne skupine, v katerih otrok običajno razvije določene sposobnosti. Čeprav je pri določanju primernosti za določeno starostno skupino upoštevana tudi varnost, te smernice ne zajemajo specifičnih varnostnih zahtev. Specifične varnostne zahteve za igrače so zajete v skupini standardov ISO 8124 za varnost igrač (ter v ostalih regionalnih standardih in predpisih za varnost igrač). Takšni standardi na primer omejujejo prisotnost majhnih delcev in majhnih kroglic pri igračah, namenjenih za določeno starostno skupino, zaradi nevarnosti zadušitve.
Te smernice za določanje starosti temeljijo na nasvetih strokovnjakov in tradicionalnih vzorcih igre
otrok; lahko se razlikujejo od nacionalnih ali regionalnih predpisov ali direktiv, ki klasificirajo igračo ali kategorijo igrač, primernih za različne starosti.
Dodatek B določa podrobnosti, kako so podatki o elektronskih igračah in elektroniki v igračah upoštevani pri razvoju teh smernic za določanje starosti.
