prEN 71-2:2019 (E) 6 Introduction This document aims at reducing as far as possible those hazards which are not evident to users; it does not cover inherent hazards that are obvious to children or the persons in charge of them. Assuming that the toys are used in the intended manner, they should not present any further hazard to children for whom they are intended (according to the Directive 2009/48/EC “intended for use by” means that a parent or supervisor shall reasonably be able to assume by virtue of the functions, dimensions and characteristics of a toy that it is intended for use by children of the stated age group). Allowance should also be made for foreseeable use, bearing in mind the behaviour of children who do not generally share the same degree of care as the average adult user. As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular ages of children. Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children, and their use presupposes certain aptitudes. Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended, or being used for a purpose other than that for which it was designed. Great care should therefore be taken when choosing a toy; account should be taken of the mental and physical development of the child who will be using it. The requirements of this document do not release parents or carers from their responsibility of watching over the child while he or she is playing. oSIST prEN 71-2:2019

prEN 71-2:2019 (E) 7 1 Scope This document 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 are not considered as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition. This document 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 62115:2005. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

When a product incorporates several features, for example a hat with an attached mask and hair, each part shall be tested separately to the applicable clause relevant to that particular part of the toy. Attachments made from elastic or string which, for example, are used for the purpose of securing a mask, hat, etc. on the head shall not be tested. 4.2.2 Beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair, pile or material with similar features (e.g. free-hanging ribbons, paper, cloth strands or other flowing elements), which protrude 50 mm or more from the surface of the toy When tested according to 5.2 (test relating to beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair, pile or material with similar features), the duration of flaming shall not be more than 2 s after the removal of the test flame. In addition, if ignition occurs, the maximum burnt length of hair, pile, or material with similar features shall not be: a) more than 50 % of the greatest initial length, when the initial length was 150 mm or more, or b) more than 75 % of the greatest initial length, when the initial length was less than 150 mm. When determining whether materials are required to be tested under 4.2.2, the distance by which the material protrudes shall be measured without applying tension to the protruding part, e.g. curly hair is not straightened. Plaits or braided hair shall be fully released and combed, where possible, before testing. Upward protruding items such as vertical feathers on a headdress are not to be considered under this clause. 4.2.3 Beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair, pile or material with similar features (e.g. free-hanging ribbons, paper, cloth strands or other flowing elements), which protrude less than 50 mm from the surface of the toy Wigs, etc. made from hair, pile or material with similar features which protrude 5 mm or less from the surface of the toy are regarded as head-dresses and are covered by 4.2.5. When tested in accordance with 5.3 (test relating to beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair, pile or material with similar features), the duration of flaming shall not be more than 2 s after the removal of the test flame, and the maximum distance between the upper edge of the burnt area and the point of application of the test flame shall not be more than 70 mm. oSIST prEN 71-2:2019

prEN 71-2:2019 (E) 11 Upward protruding items such as vertical feathers on a headdress are not to be considered under this clause. 4.2.4 Full or partial moulded head masks When tested in accordance with 5.3 (test relating to beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair, pile or material with similar features), the duration of flaming shall not be more than 2 s after the removal of the test flame. The maximum distance between the upper edge of the burnt area and the point of application of the test flame shall not be more than 70 mm. This requirement does not apply to moulded eye masks that neither cover the chin nor a cheek as they are covered by 4.2.5. 4.2.5 Flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head (except those covered by 4.2.2 and 4.2.3), hoods, head-dresses, etc. and masks not covered by 4.2.4 which partially or fully cover the head (e.g. fabric and cardboard masks, eye masks, face masks), but excluding those items covered by 4.3 When tested in accordance with 5.4 (test relating to flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head), the rate of spread of flame of the test specimen shall not exceed 10 mm/s or the test specimen shall self-extinguish. 4.3 Toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play (see A.5) When tested in accordance with 5.4 (test relating to flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head), the rate of spread of flame of the test specimen shall not exceed 30 mm/s or the test specimen shall self-extinguish. If the rate of spread of flame is between 10 mm/s and 30 mm/s, the appropriate component(s) of the toy and the packaging shall be permanently marked with the following warning: “Warning. Keep away from fire”. 4.4 Toys intended to be entered by a child (see A.6) These include for example toy tents, puppet theatres, wigwams and play tunnels. When tested in accordance with 5.4 (test relating to flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head), the rate of spread of flame of the test specimen shall not exceed 30 mm/s or the test specimen shall self-extinguish. If the test specimen has a rate of spread of flame greater than 20 mm/s when tested in accordance with 5.4, there shall be no flaming debris or molten drips. If the material has non-identical surfaces, both sides shall be tested. If the rate of spread of flame is between 10 mm/s and 30 mm/s, the appropriate part(s) of the toy and the packaging shall be permanently marked with the following warning: “Warning. Keep away from fire.”. 4.5 Soft-filled toys (see A.7) These requirements do not apply to: — soft-filled toys or soft-filled parts of a toy that cannot be cuddled or hugged by a child during play. — toys which, when positioned in accordance with 5.5.3 (test performance), present a maximum unhindered vertical soft-filled height of 150 mm or less. When tested in accordance with 5.5 (test for soft-filled toys), the rate of spread of flame on the surface shall not be more than 30 mm/s or the toy shall self-extinguish. oSIST prEN 71-2:2019

prEN 71-2:2019 (E) 12 5 Test methods 5.1 General 5.1.1 Test burner The test flame shall be obtained from a burner as described in EN ISO 6941:2003, Annex A and shall be operated with butane or propane gas. 5.1.2 Conditioning and test chamber Before each test, the toys or test specimens shall be conditioned for at least 7 h in an atmosphere having a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C and a relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %. Carry out the tests in a test chamber in which the movement of air is less than 0,2 m/s at the start of the test and is not affected by operation of mechanical apparatus during the test. It is essential that the volume of air in the test chamber is not affected by a reduction in the level of oxygen concentration. When an open fronted chamber is used for the test, ensure that the test sample is at least 300 mm from the walls of the chamber. Maintain the chamber at 10 °C to 30 °C and at a relative humidity of 15 % to 80 % prior to the test being carried out. The test specimens shall be tested within 5 min of removal from the conditioning atmosphere. 5.1.3 Test flame Light the burner described in 5.1.1 and pre-heat for a minimum of 2 min. The required height of the flame shall be measured from the end of the burner tube to the top of the flame with the burner in the vertical position. 5.2 Test relating to beards, moustaches, wigs, etc., made from hair,
