La norme EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2, relative à la sécurité des jouets, constitue une avancée significative dans la régulation des jeux odorants, des kits cosmétiques et des jeux gustatifs. Son domaine d'application est clairement défini, englobant non seulement les jeux et kits mentionnés, mais aussi les ensembles supplémentaires, ce qui témoigne d'une exhaustivité nécessaire pour garantir la sécurité des enfants. Parmi les points forts de cette norme, on retrouve des exigences précises concernant l'utilisation de substances et de mélanges considérés comme dangereux par la législation européenne. Cela inclut des substances qui, bien qu'elles ne soient pas classées comme dangereuses, peuvent néanmoins nuire à la santé des enfants lorsqu'elles sont présentes en quantités excessives. Cette approche préventive est essentielle pour protéger les familles et surtout les plus jeunes, qui sont plus vulnérables aux effets nocifs. La norme va au-delà des simples exigences de sécurité technique en intégrant des critères spécifiques sur les fragrances allergènes, interdisant celles qui pourraient poser un risque pour la santé. Elle établit également des obligations de marquage pertinent et impose la rédaction d'une liste de contenus, ce qui assure une transparence nécessaire pour les consommateurs. Ces éléments sont cruciaux pour renforcer la confiance des utilisateurs dans les produits sur le marché. De plus, les instructions d'utilisation et les exigences concernant les équipements destinés à être utilisés lors des activités sont clairement établies, ce qui favorise une manipulation sûre des jeux. L'inclusion de mesures relatives aux liquides hautement inflammables souligne l'approche globale de sécurité adoptée par cette norme. Il est également pertinent de noter que cette norme ne couvre pas les jouets cosmétiques comme les cosmétiques pour poupées, ce qui la rend plus ciblée et pertinente pour les produits qu'elle régule. En résumé, la norme EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2 représente une avancée importante pour la sécurité des jouets, en précisant les exigences autour des substances et mélanges, en interdisant les fragrances allergènes et en imposant des directives claires pour la conception et l'utilisation des jeux odorants, des kits cosmétiques et des jeux gustatifs.
Die Norm EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2 ist eine umfassende Richtlinie, die sich mit der Sicherheit von Spielzeugen befasst, insbesondere in Bezug auf olfaktorische Brettspiele, kosmetische Kits und gustative Spiele. Diese Norm ist besonders relevant, da sie klare Anforderungen an die Verwendung von Substanzen und Mischungen in diesen Spielzeugen festlegt. Sie zielt darauf ab, die Gesundheit der Kinder zu schützen, indem sie die zulässigen Konzentrationen von chemischen Substanzen regelt. Ein bedeutender Stärke dieser Norm liegt in ihrer detaillierten Klassifizierung von gefährlichen Substanzen gemäß den geltenden EC-Vorschriften. Dies hilft Herstellern und Verbrauchern, potenzielle gesundheitliche Risiken frühzeitig zu erkennen und zu vermeiden. Darüber hinaus wird auch darauf hingewiesen, dass Substanzen in übermäßigen Mengen, auch wenn sie nicht als gefährlich klassifiziert sind, gesundheitsschädlich sein können. Diese doppelte Betrachtung schafft ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit für die Benutzer und fördert das Vertrauen in die Produkte. Die Norm legt zudem strenge Anforderungen an allergene Duftstoffe fest, die in Spielzeugen nicht verwendet werden dürfen. Dies ist besonders wichtig für die Sensibilität von Kindern gegenüber Allergien und erhöht die Relevanz der Norm in einer zunehmend gesundheitsbewussten Gesellschaft. Die Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung, die Inhaltstoffe und die Gebrauchsanweisungen verbessern nicht nur die Sicherheit, sondern fördern auch ein besseres Verständnis der Produkte durch die Endverbraucher. Ein weiteres wichtiges Element dieser Norm ist der Umgang mit leichtentzündlichen Flüssigkeiten, was die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zusätzlich verstärkt. Insbesondere in einer Umgebung, in der Kinder spielen, ist dies von entscheidender Bedeutung. Insgesamt gilt die Norm EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2 als unverzichtbare Grundlage für Hersteller von olfaktorischen Brettspielen, kosmetischen Kits und gustativen Spielen. Sie bietet einen klaren Rahmen für die Sicherheit und gewährleistet, dass die Produkte sowohl den regulatorischen Anforderungen als auch den Bedürfnissen der Verbraucher gerecht werden.
このEN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2標準は、嗅覚ボードゲーム、化粧品キット、味覚ゲームおよびその補完セットに関する安全性の要件を明確に定義しています。特に、子供たちが使用するこれらの製品に含まれる物質や混合物について、その使用に関する要件が規定されており、健康を守るための重要な基準となっています。 本標準の強みは、危険物質及び混合物の定義に基づいて、要求される安全基準を具体的に示している点です。具体的には、EC法令で分類された危険物質、過剰量で子供の健康に害を及ぼす可能性がある物質、さらにはその他の化学物質に関する要件が含まれています。これにより、消費者に提供される製品の安全性を高め、潜在的なリスクを軽減することが可能となります。 加えて、この文書はアレルギー性香料の禁止、表示要件、内容リスト、使用指示、活動中に使用する機器に関する要件、さらに可燃性液体の使用についても詳細に規定しており、包括的な安全基準を提供しています。従って、製品の設計者や製造業者にとっては、子供向けの商品開発における重要なガイドラインとなります。 本標準は、玩具における健康と安全に対する意識を高め、全体としてお子様に対する保護を強化する役割を果たしているため、その重要性は非常に高いといえます。特に、化粧品玩具（人形用化粧品など）には適用されないことを明示しており、適用範囲をしっかりと区別している点も評価されます。
The standard EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2 addresses a critical area within child safety by establishing comprehensive requirements specifically for olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, and gustative games. Its well-defined scope includes guidelines on the use of substances and mixtures that can affect children's health, ensuring that even those not classified as hazardous due to low concentration are carefully regulated to prevent any potential risks. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its detailed specification on hazardous substances, as it aligns with EC legislation concerning hazardous substances and mixtures. The attention given to the classification of substances ensures that manufacturers are held to rigorous safety criteria, which significantly enhances the protection of children during playtime. The document also emphasizes the importance of allergenic fragrances, providing stringent prohibitions against certain allergens in toys. This action is crucial for safeguarding children who may have sensitivities, which further reinforces the standard's relevance in promoting child health and safety. Furthermore, the requirements for a contents list, instructions for use, and safety information about equipment and flammable liquids are pivotal in guiding manufacturers toward responsible production practices. Such meticulous detailing fosters transparency and informed usage among consumers, facilitating safer interactions with these products. However, it is important to note that this standard does not cover cosmetic toys like play cosmetics designed for dolls, thereby providing clarity on its intended application while not overextending its scope. Overall, EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/prA2 stands out as a robust standard that addresses critical safety concerns related to olfactory and gustative play products. Its comprehensive approach to substance safety, allergenic controls, and user guidance underlines its relevance in the evolving landscape of toy safety regulations.
