It is up to the user of the standard to determine whether or not a toy is included in the scope of several of
the above parts of the EN 71-series, and to apply each applicable standard accordingly. Normative
references from one part of the EN 71-series to another, are therefore normally not provided in the
individual parts.

Introduction
According to article 46 of Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys [1] the “Commission may adopt
specific limit values for chemicals used in toys intended for use by children under 36 months or in other
toys intended to be placed in the mouth”.
In May 2017 the European Commission amended Appendix C to Annex II to this Directive accordingly
and adopted a specific limit value for bisphenol A in toys (see Commission Directive (EU) 2017/898 [2]).
This document provides a test method to check compliance with this limit value.

1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and a test method for testing migration of Bisphenol A from toy
materials of toys intended for use by children under 36 month or intended to be placed in the mouth.
NOTE The European Commission Guidance Document No 11 on the Application of Directive 2009/48/EC on
the Safety of Toys [3] provides guidelines to help on the classification of toys intended for children under 36 months
of age or of 36 months and over.

sample
part of the toy material subject to testing
Note 1 to entry: A sample can consist of more than one material if the materials cannot be separated (e.g. coatings
on a base material).
4 Requirements
Migration of Bisphenol A from toy materials shall not exceed 0,04 mg/l when tested according to the
method described in this European standard.
NOTE This limit corresponds to the limit value specified in Directive (EU) 2009/48 [1] which was introduced
by Commission Directive (EU) 2017/898 [2].
5 Principle
The migration of Bisphenol A from toy material is tested by using water as simulant. Migration conditions
are shaking the sample at 37 °C for 3 h. The migration solution is measured using HPLC-MS/MS.
NOTE More information on selection of simulant and migration conditions can be found in A.1.
