This document applies to olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games and supplementary sets. It specifies requirements on the use of substances and mixtures and in some cases on their amount and concentration in olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games and supplementary sets to such games or kits.
These substances and mixtures are:
-   those classified as hazardous by the EC-legislation applying to hazardous substances [13] and hazardous mixtures [13];
-   substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children using them and which are not classified as hazardous by the above-mentioned legislation; and
-   any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the set.
Furthermore, this document specifies allergenic fragrances which are prohibited in toys, marking requirements, in particular regarding allergenic fragrances, and requirements on a contents list, instructions for use, the equipment intended to be used during the activity and the use of highly flammable liquids.
This document does not apply to cosmetic toys such as play cosmetics for dolls.
NOTE   The terms "substance" and "mixture" are defined in the REACH regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 [14] and in the CLP regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [13].

Overview

EN 71-13:2021/prA1 is a critical European standard developed by CEN under the scope of toy safety regulations. This standard focuses specifically on the safety requirements for olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games, and supplementary sets associated with these toys. It ensures the safe use of chemical substances and mixtures, particularly addressing hazardous substances, allergens, and flammable liquids that could pose risks to children.

This amendment to EN 71-13:2021 updates the regulation of allergenic fragrances, refining warning, marking, and labeling obligations. It aligns with Commission Directives (EU) 2020/2088 and (EU) 2020/2089 to enhance safety concerning fragrance substances in toys.

Key Topics

• Scope and Applicability
  The standard applies to toys involving smell and taste, including olfactory board games, cosmetic kits for children, and gustative games. It excludes play cosmetics for dolls.

• Chemical Substance Requirements
  The document mandates restrictions on:

  • Hazardous substances and mixtures as per EC legislation.
  • Substances harmful in excessive amounts even if not classified as hazardous.
  • Any chemicals supplied with the toy sets.

• Allergenic Fragrances Regulation
  Updated tables specify three categories for allergenic fragrances:

  • Banned allergenic fragrances: Substances prohibited in toys (e.g., Alanroot oil, Benzyl cyanide, Musk ambrette).
  • Warning-required fragrances: Fragrances present in toys above certain concentrations that require warnings (e.g., Amyl cinnamal, Citral, Linalool).
  • Labeling-required fragrances: Substances that must be listed on labels, packaging, or leaflets when above threshold limits (e.g., Camphor, Menthol, Vanillin).

• Marking and Warning Requirements
  EN 71-13:2021/prA1 emphasizes clear marking of allergenic fragrances on toys and their packaging, along with detailed contents lists and instructions for safe use.

• Safety Regarding Flammable Liquids
  Additional safety requirements apply when highly flammable liquids are used in these toy categories.

Applications

This standard plays an essential role in the design, manufacture, import, and marketing of toy products in the European market, especially for:

• Toy Manufacturers seeking compliance with EU toy safety directives related to olfactory and gustative toys.
• Product Safety Testing Laboratories conducting conformity assessments and risk evaluations of toys containing fragrance substances.
• Regulatory Authorities and Market Surveillance ensuring that imported and locally sold toys meet chemical safety requirements and proper labeling obligations.
• Retailers and Distributors who must verify that products supplied meet legal obligations on allergen warnings and content disclosure.
• Consumers and Parents benefit from enhanced transparency and reduced risk of allergenic reactions or exposure to hazardous chemicals in toys intended for sensory play.

Related Standards

• EN 71 Series: The broader series of European toy safety standards addressing mechanical, chemical, and electrical hazards in toys.
• Directive 2009/48/EC: EU Toy Safety Directive, setting essential safety requirements for toys sold within the European Union.
• REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006: Governs chemicals and substances used within the EU market, defining terms such as "substance" and "mixture."
• CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008: Classification, Labeling, and Packaging of substances and mixtures relevant to toy chemical safety.
• Commission Directives (EU) 2020/2088 and 2020/2089: Recent amendments updating allergenic fragrance lists and labeling requirements for toys.
