(Main)Safety of toys - Part 2: Flammability
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; 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.
NOTE Additional requirements for flammability of electric toys are specified in EN 62115.
Sicherheit von Spielzeug - Teil 2: Entflammbarkeit
Dieses Dokument legt die Kategorien entflammbarer Werkstoffe fest, deren Verwendung in allem Spielzeug verboten ist, und Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Entflammbarkeit bestimmten Spielzeugs, wenn es einer kleinen Zündquelle ausgesetzt wird.
Die in Abschnitt 5 beschriebenen Prüfverfahren werden zur Bestimmung der Entflammbarkeit von Spielzeug unter den festgelegten Prüfbedingungen angewendet. Die so erhaltenen Prüfergebnisse werden nicht dahingehend betrachtet, dass sie umfassende Angaben für die mögliche Brandgefährdung von Spielzeug oder Werkstoffen zur Verfügung stellen, wenn diese anderen Zündquellen ausgesetzt werden.
Dieses Dokument enthält allgemeine Anforderungen hinsichtlich allen Spielzeugs und besondere Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für folgende Spielzeuge, die als am gefährlichsten angesehen werden:
— auf dem Kopf zu tragendes Spielzeug: Bärte, Schnurrbärte, Perücken usw. aus haarartigem Material oder fließenden Bestandteilen; Masken; Kopfhauben, Kopfschmuck usw.; Hüte aus Papier oder Karton ohne Verzierungen oder befestigte Elemente sind jedoch ausgenommen;
— Rollenspielzeug und Spielzeug, das dazu vorgesehen ist vom Kind als Bekleidung zum Spielen getragen zu werden;
— Spielzeug, das dazu vorgesehen ist vom Kind begangen zu werden, und das aus Textilien und/oder Polymerschichten und -filmen besteht;
— Spielzeug mit weicher Füllung.
ANMERKUNG Zusätzliche Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Entflammbarkeit von elektrischem Spielzeug sind in EN 62115 [2] festgelegt.
Sécurité des jouets - Partie 2: Inflammabilité
Le présent document 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 sont pas 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.
Le présent document traite des exigences générales relatives à tous les jouets ainsi que des exigences et des méthodes d’essai particulières concernant les jouets suivants, qui sont considérés comme ceux présentant les dangers les plus importants :
⎯ les jouets conçus pour être portés sur la tête : barbes, moustaches, perruques, etc., constituées d’éléments pileux ou éléments flottants ; masques, capuches, coiffes, etc. ; à l’exclusion toutefois des chapeaux en papier et en carton sans décoration ou élément fixé ;
⎯ 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, constitués de textiles et/ou de feuilles et films polymères ;
⎯ les jouets souples rembourrés.
NOTE Des exigences supplémentaires relatives à l’inflammabilité des jouets électriques sont spécifiées dans l’EN 62115[2].
