EN 71-2:2006+A1:2007

Safety of toys - Part 2: Flammability

This European Standard specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys, and requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of ignition.
The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained cannot be considered as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition.
This European Standard includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and methods of test relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the greatest hazard:
-   toys to be worn on the head: beards, moustaches, wigs etc. made from hair, pile or material with similar features; moulded and fabric masks; hoods, head-dresses etc.; flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head, but excluding paper novelty hats of the type usually supplied in party crackers;
-   toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;
-   toys intended to be entered by a child;
-   soft-filled toys (animals and dolls etc.) with a piled surface or textile surface.
NOTE   Additional requirements for flammability of electric toys are specified in EN 50088, Safety of electric toys and EN 62115, Electric toys - Safety (IEC 62115:2003 + A1:2004, modified)

Sicherheit von Spielzeug - Teil 2: Entflammbarkeit

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Kategorien entflammbarer Werkstoffe fest, deren Verwendung in allen Spiel¬zeugen verboten ist, und Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Entflammbarkeit bestimmter Spielzeuge, wenn sie einer kleinen Zündquelle ausgesetzt werden.
Die in Abschnitt 5 beschriebenen Prüfverfahren werden zur Bestimmung der Entflammbarkeit von Spielzeug unter den produktspezifisch festgelegten Prüfbedingungen angewendet. Die so erhaltenen Prüfergebnisse können nicht dahingehend betrachtet werden, dass sie umfassende Angaben für die mögliche Brandge¬fährdung von Spielzeugen oder Werkstoffen zur Verfügung stellen, wenn diese anderen Zündquellen ausge¬setzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält auch allgemeine Anforderungen hinsichtlich aller Spielzeuge und besondere Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für folgende Spielzeuge, die als am gefährlichsten angesehen werden:
   auf dem Kopf zu tragende Spielzeuge: Bärte, Schnurrbärte, Perücken usw. aus Haar, haarartigem Material oder Material mit ähnlichen Merkmalen; geformte und Textilmasken; Kopfhauben und Kopf¬schmuck usw.; fließende Bestandteile von auf dem Kopf zu tragendem Spielzeug, außer Partyhüte aus Papier, wie sie üblicherweise in Knallbonbons zu finden sind;
   Rollenspielzeug und Spielzeuge, die vom Kind als Bekleidung zum Spielen getragen werden;
   vom Kind begehbares Spielzeug;
   Spielzeug mit weicher Füllung (Tiere, Puppen usw.) mit haarartiger oder textiler Oberfläche.
ANMERKUNG   Zusätzliche Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Entflammbarkeit von elektrischem Spielzeug sind in EN 50088, Sicherheit elektrischer Spielzeuge, und in EN 62115, Elektrische Spielzeuge Sicherheit
(IEC 62115:2003 + A1:2004, modifiziert), festgelegt.

Sécurité des jouets - Partie 2: Inflammabilité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les catégories de matériaux inflammables dont l’emploi est prohibé pour tous les jouets, ainsi que les exigences relatives à l’inflammabilité de certains jouets lorsqu’ils sont soumis à une petite source d’allumage.
Les méthodes d’essai décrites à l’Article 5 sont utilisées pour déterminer l’inflammabilité des jouets dans des conditions d’essai particulières spécifiées. Les résultats d’essai ainsi obtenus ne peuvent pas être considérés comme une information générale sur le risque au feu des jouets ou des matériaux lorsqu’ils sont soumis à d’autres sources d’allumage.
La présente Norme européenne traite des exigences générales relatives à tous les jouets et des exigences et des méthodes d’essai particulières concernant les jouets suivants, qui sont considérés comme ceux présentant les risques les plus importants :
   les jouets conçus pour être portés sur la tête : barbes, moustaches, perruques, etc., constituées de cheveux, éléments pileux ou autres matériaux présentant des fonctions similaires ; les masques moulés et masques en tissu ; capuches, coiffes, etc. ; éléments flottants de jouets conçus pour être portés sur la tête, mais à l’exclusion des chapeaux fantaisie en papier, tels que ceux fournis dans les diablotins ;
   les costumes de déguisement et jouets destinés à être portés par l’enfant au cours du jeu ;
   les jouets conçus pour qu’un enfant puisse y entrer ;
   les jouets souples rembourrés (animaux et poupées, etc.) comportant une surface pileuse ou textile.
NOTE   Des exigences supplémentaires relatives à l’inflammabilité des jouets électriques sont spécifiées dans l’EN 50088, Sécurité des jouets électriques et l’EN 62115, Jouets électriques  Sécurité (CEI 62115:2003 + A1:2004, modifiée).
