European foreword
This document (EN 71-1:2014/prA2:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 52
“Safety of toys”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
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 EU Directive(s).

1 Modifications to Clause 1, Scope (see A.2)
In the 6th paragraph, replace the 5th dash with the following:
"
— toy slings and toy catapults, supplied without projectiles.
Toy slings and toy catapults supplied with projectiles are covered by this standard.".
Delete the 7th paragraph (that begins with "Items that are propelled into free flight…").
2 Modifications to Clause 3, Terms and definitions
Replace Definitions 3.46 to 3.48 with the following ones:
"
3.46
projectile
object intended to be launched into free flight or trajectory in the air
Note 1 to entry: This includes objects where the travel is ultimately constrained by means of a tether (e.g. pop-gun).
3.47
projectile toy with stored energy
toy with a projectile launched by means of a discharge mechanism capable of storing energy
independent of the user and incorporating a release mechanism
3.48
projectile toy without stored energy
toy with a projectile launched by energy imparted by the user or by means of a discharge mechanism
incapable of storing energy independent of the user".
Add the following definitions:
"
3.X1
free flight
unconstrained travel through the air
Note 1 to entry: This will include portions of unconstrained travel that may ultimately be constrained by means of a tether.
3.X2
discharge mechanism
component(s) of the toy which releases or propels the projectile into free flight
3.X3
arrow
projectile in the form of a shaft with a total length of 150 mm or more, intended to be discharged from a
bow held by a user
3.X4
dart
projectile in the form of a shaft with a total length less than 150 mm that is intended to be blown by the
mouth or thrown
SIST EN 71-1:2015/oprA2:2016
EN 71-1:2014/prA2:2016 (E)
3.X5
leading part
area(s) of the projectile or flying toy (e.g. tips, edges or protrusions) which would be expected to make
contact with the eyeball in the event of launching towards the eye
Note 1 to entry: This includes all areas on projectiles that travel in unpredictable orientations (e.g. tumbling) that could
reasonably be expected to strike the eyeball.
3.X6
remote controlled flying toy
flying toy, capable of being controlled by a wireless transmitter, incorporating rotor blade(s) which are
capable of spinning approximately horizontally, each blade being less than or equal to 175 mm in
length, measured from the centre of rotation to the blade tip, with an overall mass of the flying toy not
greater than 50 g
Note 1 to entry: Wireless transmitters are typically hand-held devices and include smart devices such as telephones,
tablets, etc.
3.X7
flying toy
toy or part of a toy intended to be launched into free flight with an on-board energy source
(e.g. compressed gas, springs, electricity or inertial energy) that continues to propel the object after the
initial release, for part or all of the flight
3.X8
toy sling with projectiles
hand held projectile toy, supplied with projectiles, with non-elastic cord that is capable of holding a
projectile, which is energized by swinging the whole toy and intended to launch a projectile into free
flight by releasing one end of the cord
3.X9
toy catapult with projectiles
hand held projectile toy, supplied with projectiles, with forked stick with an elastic band that is capable
of holding a projectile, and is fastened to the two fork-ends and is intended to launch a projectile into
free flight by stretching and releasing it".
2 Modification to 4.17, Projectiles (see A.22)
Replace the whole Subclause 4.17 with the following one:
"
4.17 Projectile toys (see A.22)
4.17.1 General
The requirements of 4.17.2, 4.17.3 and 4.17.4 do not apply to:
— components that function as projectiles which are permanently enclosed within a toy unless they
become accessible when the outer container is tested according to 8.3 (torque test), 8.4.2.1 (tension
test, general), 8.7 (impact test), 8.8 (compression test) and, the component is still capable of being
launched;
— ground based toys, or components of toys, intended to be propelled along a track, gameboard,
tabletop, floor or onto another surface even if they include an element of motion in free flight, for
example leaps between tracks or surfaces.
SIST EN 71-1:2015/oprA2:2016
EN 71-1:2014/prA2:2016 (E)
The requirements of 4.17.2.1, 4.17.3 and 4.17.4 do not apply to projectiles that have a maximum range
of 300 mm or less when measured in accordance with 8.X1 (determination of projectile range).
The requirements in 4.17.4.4 do not apply to projectile toys covered by 4.17.4.2 and 4.17.4.3.
4.17.2 All Projectiles
4.17.2.1 Leading parts
Leading parts on rigid projectiles shall not protrude beyond the depth of the gauge shown in Figure X.8
when tested according to 8.X2 (Assessment of leading parts of rigid projectiles and flying toys).
The leading parts of a projectile as well as edges that are adjacent to the leading part (s) shall be smooth
and free of points, flash or similar projections. See Figure X.1 for examples of edges adjacent to leading
parts.

4.17.2.2 Foam shaft projectiles with a suction cup as a leading part
Projectiles with a foam shaft with a suction cup as a leading part where that suction cup has a diameter
that is less than or equal to the maximum diameter of the collar or foam shaft, when measured in the
relaxed state (see Figure X.2) shall:
a) not pass entirely through template E when tested according to 8.32.1 (small balls test and suction
cups), or
b) have a length of 57 mm or more when measured according to 8.43 (length of suction cup
projectiles) in the as received state; and
c) not detach after testing in accordance with 8.4.2.4.2 (Tension test for a foam shaft projectile with a
suction cup that has a diameter the same as or less than the maximum diameter of the shaft/collar)
or shall detach in such a way that the diameter of the suction cup remains less than or equal to the
maximum diameter of any remaining collar or shaft.
The projectile shall comply with either a) or both b) and c).

4.17.2.3 Other types of projectile with a suction cup as a leading part
Projectiles with a suction cup as a leading part shall:
a) not pass entirely through template E when tested according to 8.32.1 (small balls test and suction
cups), or
b) have a length of 57 mm or more when measured according to 8.43 (length of suction cup
projectiles) before and after testing according to 8.3 (torque test) and 8.4.2.4.1 (Tension test for a
non-foam shaft projectile), and
c) not detach when tested according to 8.3 (torque test), 8.4.2.4.1 (Tension test for a non-foam shaft
projectile), 8.7 (impact test), 8.8 compression test).
The projectile shall comply with either a) or both b) and c).
4.17.3 Projectile toys with stored energy
4.17.3.1 Energy limitation
Projectiles discharged from a projectile toy with stored energy with a kinetic energy greater than 0,08 J
when tested according to 8.24 (kinetic energy of projectiles) shall:
a) have a leading part(s) made of a resilient material.
SIST EN 71-1:2015/oprA2:2016
EN 71-1:2014/prA2:2016 (E)
b) be accompanied by a warning about the potential hazard of aiming at the eyes or face (see 7.7). This
requirement does not apply to projectile toys where it would be considered unreasonable to aim at
the eyes or face of the user or a third party.
c) have a kinetic energy per unit area not greater than 2 500 J/m when tested according to 8.24.3.3.
(determination of kinetic energy per area of contact).
4.17.3.2 Edges
Edges on projectiles discharged from a projectile toy with stored energy that are adjacent to the leading
part(s), see Figure X.1, shall have visibly rounded edges. This requirement does not apply to projectiles
with resilient leading part(s) or leading part(s) made of paper or paperboard.
NOTE There may be multiple leading parts that require evaluation, especially in situations where the
projectile may travel in irregular or unpredictable orientations (e.g. tumbling).
