Foreword
This document (EN 71-5:1993/A2:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 52 “Safety of
toys”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This Amendment to the European Standard EN 71-5:1993 shall be given the status of a national standard,
either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2010, and conflicting
national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2010.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
1 Modification to the "Introduction"
th
Add the following 7 paragraph:
"After implementing the test methods some modifications to the standard are being brought forward:
limits for toluene, xylenes and benzene in oven-hardening plasticized PVC modelling clay sets and plastic
moulding sets;
exclusion of teratogenic substances;
updating the references to EU directives with subsequent modifications in the requirements."
2 Modification to Clause 1 "Scope"
nd
Replace the 2 sentence with the following:
"These substances and materials are:
those classified as dangerous by the Directives on dangerous substances [1] and dangerous preparations
[2];
substances and preparations which in excessive amounts may harm the health of the children using them
and which are not classified by the above mentioned Directives;
any other chemical substance or preparation delivered with the toy.
NOTE The terms “substance“ and “preparation“ as used in directives 67/548/EEC [1] and 1999/45/EC [2] are also used
in the “REACH Regulation” Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 [3]. This latter regulation requires that account be taken of the
emerging international standards in the regulation of chemicals such as the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of
classification and labelling of chemicals. The EU has now proposed a timetable for the introduction of GHS and it is
expected that the above two mentioned directives will be repealed on 1 June 2015.
In the GHS regulation the term 'mixtures' rather than 'preparation' is used. Preparations and mixtures should be
considered synonymous; both are mixtures or solutions of substances that do not react with each other."
3 Modifications to Clause 2 "Normative references"
Add the following reference:
"EN 71-3:1994, Safety of toys — Part 3: Migration of certain elements".
Delete the following references:
