(Main)Electric toys - Safety
Electric toys - Safety
IEC 62115:2017 specifies safety requirements for electric toys that have at least one function dependant on electricity, electric toys being any product designed or intended, whether or not exclusively, for use in play by children under 14 years of age. Examples of electric toys also within the scope of this standard are: - constructional sets; - experimental sets; - functional electric toys (an electric toy that performs and is used in the same way as a product, appliance or installation intended for use by adults, and which may be a scale model of such product, appliance or installation); - electric toy computers as well as a doll's house having an interior lamp. If the packaging is intended to have play value then it is considered to be part of the electric toy. This International Standard only covers the safety aspects of electric toys that relate to an electrical function. This standard covers the safety of electric toys taking power from any source, such as batteries, transformers, solar cells and inductive connections. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003, Amendment 1 (2004) and Amendment 2 (2010). This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the general conditions for tests has been rewritten and modified (Clause 5); - the criteria for reduced testing has been modified (Clause 6); - warnings for toys using button batteries or coin batteries have been added (7.3.3.2, 7.3.3.3); - warnings on ride-on toys have been added (7.5); - the requirements concerning accessibility of batteries have been updated (13.4.1 and 13.4.2); - added requirements to cover toys placed above a child (13.4.4); - added requirements to cover toys connected to other equipment (13.9); - modified the requirements for safety of toys incorporating optical radiation sources (Annex E), to include requirements for using the technical LED data sheet for checking compliance with the specified accessible emission limits (AEL); - updated the details for measurements of the optical radiation from the toy (Annex E); - introduced an informative Annex I concerning measurement methods for toys with an integrated field source generating EMF; - included a normative Annex J concerning safety of remote-controls for electric ride-on toys. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication. Key words: Safety, Electric Toys
Elektrische Spielzeuge - Sicherheit
Jouets électriques - Sécurité
IEC 62115:2017 définit les exigences de sécurité applicables aux jouets électriques qui ont au moins une fonction dépendant de l'électricité, un jouet électrique désignant tout produit conçu ou destiné, exclusivement ou non, à être utilisé à des fins de jeu par des enfants de moins de 14 ans. Exemples de jouets électriques également compris dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme: - les coffrets de construction, - les coffrets d'expériences, - les jouets électriques fonctionnels (un jouet électrique qui a une fonction et une utilisation similaires à un produit, un appareil ou une installation destiné à être utilisé par les adultes, et qui peut être un modèle réduit d'un tel produit, appareil ou installation), - les ordinateurs jouets électriques et - une maison de poupée ayant une lampe à l'intérieur. Si l'emballage est destiné à être utilisé comme jouet électrique, il est alors considéré comme faisant partie du jouet électrique. La présente Norme internationale traite uniquement des aspects de la sécurité des jouets électriques qui ont une fonction dépendant de l’électricité. La présente norme traite des aspects de la sécurité des jouets électriques alimentés par n'importe quelle source, telle que des piles ou accumulateurs, des transformateurs, des piles photovoltaïques et des connexions inductives. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003, l'Amendement 1 (2004) et l'Amendement 2 (2010). Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - les conditions générales pour les essais ont été reformulées et modifiées (Article 5); - les critères visant à limiter le nombre d'essais ont été modifiés (Article 6); - des mises en garde concernant les jouets utilisant des piles boutons ou des accumulateurs boutons ont été ajoutées (7.3.3.2, 7.3.3.3); - des mises en garde concernant les jouets porteurs ont été ajoutées (7.5); - les exigences concernant l'accessibilité des piles ou accumulateurs ont été mises à jour (13.4.1 et 13.4.2); - exigences ajoutées pour tenir compte des jouets placés au-dessus d'un enfant (13.4.4); - exigences ajoutées pour tenir compte des jouets raccordés à un autre équipement (13.9); - modification des exigences relatives à la sécurité des jouets comportant des sources de rayonnement optique (Annexe E) pour inclure des exigences relatives à l'utilisation des fiches techniques des LED en vue de vérifier la conformité aux limites d'émission accessible (LEA) spécifiées; - mise à jour des informations concernant les mesurages du rayonnement optique émis par le jouet (Annexe E); - introduction d'une Annexe I informative concernant les méthodes de mesure applicables aux jouets avec une source de champ intégrée générant des champs électromagnétiques; - insertion d'une Annexe J normative concernant la sécurité des télécommandes pour les jouets porteurs électriques. L’attention des Comités Nationaux est attirée sur le fait que les fabricants d’appareils et les organismes d’essai peuvent avoir besoin d’une période transitoire après la publication d’une nouvelle publication IEC, ou d’une publication amendée ou révisée, pour fabriquer des produits conformes aux nouvelles exigenc
