Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the migration of aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (VI), cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, strontium, tin, organic tin and zinc from toy materials and from parts of toys.
Packaging materials are not considered to be part of the toy unless they have intended play value.
NOTE 1 See guidance document of the European Commission guidance document no. 12 [2] on the application of the Directive on the safety of toys – packaging.
The standard contains requirements for the migration of certain elements from the following categories of toy materials:
— Category I: Dry, brittle, powder like or pliable materials;
— Category II: Liquid or sticky materials;
— Category III: Scraped-off materials.
The requirements of this standard do not apply to toys or parts of toys which, due to their accessibility, function, volume or mass, clearly exclude any hazard due to sucking, licking or swallowing or prolonged skin contact when the toy or part of toy is used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this standard, for the following toys and parts of toys the likelihood of sucking, licking or swallowing toys is considered significant (see H.2 and H.3):
— all toys intended to be put in the mouth or to the mouth, cosmetics toys and writing instruments categorized as toys can be considered to be sucked, licked or swallowed;
— all the accessible parts and components of toys intended for children up to 6 years of age can be considered to come into contact with the mouth. The likelihood of mouth contact with parts of toys intended for older children is not considered significant in most cases (see H.2).

Verpackungsmaterialien werden nicht als Teil des Spielzeugs angesehen, es sei denn, sie haben einen beabsichtigten Spielwert.
ANMERKUNG 1 Siehe hierzu Leitlinie Nr. 12 der Europäischen Kommission zur Anwendung der Richtlinie über die Sicherheit von Spielzeug — Verpackungen [2].
Diese Norm enthält Anforderungen an die Migration bestimmter Elemente aus den folgenden Kategorien von Spielzeugmaterialien:
— Kategorie I: Trockene, brüchige, staubförmige oder geschmeidige Materialien;
— Kategorie II: Flüssige oder haftende Materialien;
— Kategorie III: Abgeschabte Materialien.
Die Anforderungen dieser Norm gelten nicht für Spielzeug und Spielzeugbestandteile, die bei bestimmungs¬gemäßem oder vorhersehbarem Gebrauch und unter Berücksichtigung des Verhaltens von Kindern wegen ihrer/ihres Zugänglichkeit, Funktion, Volumens oder Masse jegliche Gefährdung durch Saugen, Lecken oder Verschlucken oder längeren Hautkontakt eindeutig ausschließen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für die Zwecke dieser Norm wird für folgendes Spielzeug und Teile von Spielzeug die Wahrschein-lichkeit von Saugen, Lecken oder Verschlucken an/von Spielzeug als wesentlich angesehen (siehe H.2 und H.3):
— bei jedem Spielzeug, das dazu bestimmt ist, in oder an den Mund genommen zu werden, sowie bei Kosmetik-spielzeug und Schreibgeräten, die als Spielzeug eingestuft sind, kann davon ausgegangen werden, das sie gesaugt, geleckt oder verschluckt werden;
— bei allen zugänglichen Teilen und Bestandteilen von Spielzeug, das für Kinder bis zu 6 Jahren vorgesehen ist, kann von Mundkontakt ausgegangen werden. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Mundkontakts mit Teilen von Spielzeug, das für ältere Kinder vorgesehen ist, wird in den meisten Fällen als nicht signifikant angesehen (siehe H.2).

EN 71-3:2013+A3:2018 (E) 7 Introduction The Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) [1] specifies maximum migration limits for three categories of toy materials. The limits for the migration of certain elements are expressed in milligram per kilogram toy material and are detailed in Table 2. The purpose of the limits is to minimize children’s exposure to certain potentially toxic elements. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the migration of aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (VI), cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, strontium, tin, organic tin and zinc from toy materials and from parts of toys. Packaging materials are not considered to be part of the toy unless they have intended play value. NOTE 1 See guidance document of the European Commission guidance document no. 12 [2] on the application of the Directive on the safety of toys – packaging. The standard contains requirements for the migration of certain elements from the following categories of toy materials: — Category I: Dry, brittle, powder like or pliable materials; — Category II: Liquid or sticky materials; — Category III: Scraped-off materials. The requirements of this standard do not apply to toys or parts of toys which, due to their accessibility, function, volume or mass, clearly exclude any hazard due to sucking, licking or swallowing or prolonged skin contact when the toy or part of toy is used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. NOTE 2 For the purposes of this standard, for the following toys and parts of toys the likelihood of sucking, licking or swallowing toys is considered significant (see H.2 and H.3): — all toys intended to be put in the mouth or to the mouth, cosmetics toys and writing instruments categorized as toys can be considered to be sucked, licked or swallowed; — all the accessible parts and components of toys intended for children up to 6 years of age can be considered to come into contact with the mouth. The likelihood of mouth contact with parts of toys intended for older children is not considered significant in most cases (see H.2). 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

EN 71-3:2013+A3:2018 (E) 12 7 Sampling and sample preparation 7.1 Selection of test portions A laboratory sample for testing shall consist of one toy in the form in which it will be marketed. Test portions shall be taken from toy materials of the single toy sample. Identical materials in the toy may be combined and treated as a single test portion but additional toy samples shall not be used to prepare larger test portions. Test portions are taken from each colour of each toy material. Test portions may be composed of more than one toy material or colour only when discrete specimens cannot be separated physically, e.g. dot printing, patterned textiles, etc. NOTE
This requirement does not preclude the preparation of test portions which represent the material and any base material upon which it is deposited. If the total weight of available toy material is less than 10 mg test portions are disregarded (see H.5). The above does not preclude the possibility of testing toy materials before they are used to manufacture a toy in order to prove compliance of the final toy. In this case, it shall be assessed that the manufacturing process does not influence the migration of elements from the toy materials. 7.2 Standards preparation Prepare standard solutions covering a suitable working range appropriate to the required limits for each element for the three categories. Examples for ICP-MS and ICP-OES are included in Annex E. 7.3 Sample preparation 7.3.1 General A blank solution shall be determined for any bias. The analytical results shall be corrected for any bias due, for example, to contaminants present in the filter paper (6.2.6) or the gastric simulant. When there is a significant bias the method should be checked. 7.3.2 Category I: Dry, brittle, powder like or pliable and Category II: Liquid or sticky If p
