Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties

This European Standard specifies requirements and methods of tests for mechanical and physical properties of toys.
This European Standard applies to toys for children, toys being any product or material designed or clearly intended for use in play by children of less than 14 years. It refers to new toys taking into account the period of foreseeable and normal use, and that the toys are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the normal behaviour of children.
It includes specific requirements for toys intended for children under 36 months and for children who are too young to sit up unaided. For the purpose of this European Standard, soft-filled toys with simple features intended for holding and cuddling are considered as toys intended for children under 36 months.
This European Standard also specifies requirements for packaging, marking and labelling.
This European Standard does not cover musical instruments, sports equipment or similar items but does include their toy counterparts.
This European Standard does not cover electrical safety aspects of toys. These are covered by EN 62115, Electric toys - Safety.
Furthermore, it does not cover the following items which, for the purpose of this European Standard, are not considered as toys:
-   Christmas decorations (see A.2);
-   detailed scale models for adult collectors (see A.2);
-   equipment intended to be used collectively in playgrounds;
-   sports equipment;
-   aquatic equipment intended to be used in deep water;
-   folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles for adult collectors;
-   "professional" toys installed in public places (shopping centres, stations etc.) (see A.2);
-   puzzles with more than 500 pieces or without picture, intended for specialists;
-   air guns and air pistols (see A.2);
-   fireworks, including percussion caps except percussion caps specifically designed for toys;
-   slings and catapults (see A.2);
-   sets of darts with metallic points;
-   electric ovens,

Sicherheit von Spielzeug - Teil 1: Mechanische und physikalische Eigenschaften

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für die mechanischen und physikalischen
Eigenschaften von Spielzeug fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Kinderspielzeug, d. h. für alle Erzeugnisse oder Materialien, die konstruiert
bzw. eindeutig dafür bestimmt sind, von Kindern unter 14 Jahren zum Spielen benutzt zu werden. Es gilt für
Spielzeug im Neuzustand, berücksichtigt jedoch sowohl die bei bestimmungsgemäßem bzw. vorhersehbarem
Gebrauch vorhersehbare, übliche Benutzungsdauer als auch das übliche kindgemäße Verhalten.
Es enthält spezifische Anforderungen an Spielzeug für Kinder unter 36 Monaten und für Kinder, die zu jung
sind, um ohne Hilfe sitzen zu können. Spielzeug mit weicher Füllung und einfachen Formen zum Halten und
Kuscheln wird für die Anwendung dieser Europäischen Norm als Spielzeug für Kinder unter 36 Monaten
eingestuft.
Diese Europäische Norm legt ferner Anforderungen an Verpackung, Kennzeichnung und Beschriftung fest.
Diese Europäische Norm erfasst keine Musikinstrumente, Sportgeräte oder Ähnliches, schließt jedoch deren
entsprechende Spielzeugvarianten ein.
Aspekte der elektrotechnischen Sicherheit des Spielzeuges werden in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht erfasst.
Diese sind Inhalt von /EN 62115 „Elektrische Spielzeuge — Sicherheit“0.

Sécurité des jouets - Partie 1: Propriétés mécaniques et physiques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai pour les propriétés mécaniques et
physiques des jouets.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux jouets pour enfants ; on entend par «jouet» tout produit ou matériau
conçu ou manifestement destiné à être utilisé à des fins de jeux par des enfants d'un âge inférieur à 14 ans. Il fait
référence à des jouets neufs et en tenant compte de la durée d’utilisation normale et prévisible et de conditions
normales ou prévisibles d’utilisation des jouets, eu égard au comportement habituel des enfants.
Elle comporte des exigences spécifiques pour les jouets destinés aux enfants de moins de 36 mois et à ceux qui sont
trop jeunes pour s'asseoir tout seuls. Pour les besoins de la présente Norme européenne, les jouets souples
rembourrés simples à tenir et câliner sont considérés comme des jouets destinés aux enfants de moins de 36 mois.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie également des exigences relatives à l'emballage, au marquage et
à l'étiquetage.
Elle ne traite pas des instruments de musique, des équipements de sports ou autres produits semblables mais elle
concerne leurs contreparties en jouet.

Varnost igrač - 1. del: Mehanske in fizikalne lastnosti (vključno z dopolnili do A14)

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in metode za preskuse fizikalnih lastnosti igrač. Ta evropski standard velja za igrače za otroke, igrače, ki so kateri koli proizvod ali material, zasnovan ali jasno namenjen uporabi pri igri otrok, mlajših od 14 let. Nanaša se na nove igrače, ob upoštevanju obdobja predvidene in običajne uporabe ter tega, da se igrače uporabljajo v skladu z namembnostjo ali predvideno, upoštevajoč običajno vedenje otrok. Vključuje posebne zahteve za igrače otrok, mlajših od 36 mesecev, in otrok, ki so premajhni, da bi brez pomoči sedeli pokonci. Za ta evropski standard se mehko polnjene igrače preprostih oblik, narejene za prijemanje in objemanje, štejejo za igrače, namenjene za otroke, mlajše od 36 mesecev. Ta evropski standard prav tako določa zahteve za pakiranje, označevanje in opremljanje z nalepkami. Ta evropski standard ne zajema glasbenih inštrumentov, športne opreme ali podobnih predmetov; vključuje jih le, če so igrače v tej obliki. Ta evropski standard ne zajema vidikov električne varnosti igrač. Ti so zajeti v EN 62115, Električne igrače - varnost. Poleg tega ne zajema naslednjih predmetov, ki se v okviru tega evropskega standarda ne štejejo za igrače:
– božični okraski (glej A.2);
– podrobni pomanjšani modeli za odrasle zbiratelje (glej A.2);
– oprema za skupno uporabo na igriščih;
– športna oprema;
– vodna oprema za uporabo v globoki vodi;
– ljudske lutke, okrasne lutke in drugi podobni predmeti za odrasle zbiratelje;
– »poslovne« igrače na javnih mestih (nakupovalni centri, postaje itd.) (glej A.2);
– sestavljanke z več kot 500 koščki ali brez slike za navdušence;
– zračne puške ali zračne pištole (glej A.2);
– ognjemeti, vključno z vžigalnimi kapicami, razen tistih vžigalnih kapic, ki so posebej narejene za igrače;
– frače in katapulti (glej A.2);
– seti puščic s kovinskimi konicami;
– električne pečice, likalniki ali drugi funkcionalni proizvodi, delujoči pri nazivni napetosti, ki presega 24 V,
– proizvodi, ki vsebujejo grelne elemente za uporabo pod nadzorom odrasle osebe v okviru poučevanja;
– vozila z motorji z izgorevanjem (glej A.2);
– parni stroji kot igrače;
– kolesa za šport ali promet po javni avtocesti;
– videoigrače, ki se lahko povežejo z videozaslonom, delujoče pri nazivni napetosti, ki presega 24 V;
– dude za dojenčke (držala);
– dosledne imitacije pravega strelnega orožja;
– modni nakit za otroke (glej A.2).
Prav tako se v okvir tega evropskega standarda ne štejejo za igrače naslednji predmeti:
– pripomočki za plavanje, kot so rokavčki in plavalni obroči (glej A.23);
– plavalna očala, sončna očala in druga varovala za oči ter čelade za kolo in rolke (glej A.19);
–   predmeti, ki jih v prosti let požene otrok, tako da sprosti elastiko (npr. letala in rakete). Ti se štejejo za katapulte (glej alinejo 11 zgoraj);
–   lokostrelski loki, katerih skupna dolžina, kadar niso napeti, presega 120 cm.
