30 CLC/TC 61 note:
31 This prAD (future A13) is submitted to the CENELEC Enquiry as agreed during the CLC/TC 61 meetings
32 in Brussels in 2013.
33 This document was updated following the discussions of CLC/TC 61/WG 7 “Toys” at its last joint meeting
34 the MT 26 in Guangzhou China.
35 During the preparation of this draft by CLC/TC 61/WG 7 “Toys”, a coordination with IEC has been
36 performed. Therefore, the technical content of this CENELEC draft is identical to the technical content of
37 a Draft for Comments (DC) of IEC on the same standard (61/4716/DC).
38 For achieving this, the following changes have been introduced, with respect to a previous version of this
39 prAD (future A13) inside CLC/TC 61/WG 7:
40 – Although it is specified in 5.5, 5.6 and Clause 9 of the main part of the toy standard that all the tests
41 are carried out in the worst mode, position etc., it is in addition specified in 5.6 that this is also
42 applicable to the radiation.
43 – Emission measurement accuracy and distance is added in 20.X2.1 as it was explained in the first
44 version of prAD (future A13) in 20.1.1.1 and the editor’s note in 20.1.5.
45 – Measurement details in the subclauses of 20.Z2 is referred to the general 20.Z2.1.
46 – The classification of lasers in 20.Z3 are now referred to the latest IEC 60825-13 instead the older
47 IEC 60825-1"
48 16 Components
49 16.1 Renumber the existing note as Note 1
50 Add the following new note:
51 Note Z1: The compliance of light-emitting diode (LED) and laser components is assessed using Clause 20 of Annex E.

128 7.4 Addition:
129 For toys with laser devices, the instructions shall carry information indicating that the device is
130 Class 1.
131 Note: An example of such a marking could be: “Class 1 Laser device”
132 20 Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
133 Replacement
134 20.1 Addition
135 Toys shall not present a radiation hazard.

141 20.E.2.1 Emission from toys
142 The total emission from toys incorporating LEDs or an array of LEDs shall not exceed the AEL
143 specified in Clauses 20.E.2.2, 20.E.2.3 and 20.E.2.4.
144 Note 1: The total emission only incorporates the emissions that the eye is exposed to from one viewing position. Any
145 emissions that cannot be viewed simultaneously shall be assessed separately and independently.
146 Compliance is checked by evaluating the technical data of LEDs and applying the limits of
147 clauses 20.E.2.2, 20.E.2.3 and 20.E.2.4 or by measurement of the output from a toy and
148 application of the same limits, using the following method.
149 Toys are operated as intended until steady state conditions and normal operating temperature is
150 reached.
151 The spectral emission bandwidth is measured by using a spectrometer capable of measuring
152 to an accuracy of ± 1 nm
-1
153 The accessible emission is measured to an accuracy of ± 0,001 Wsr or by any device with a
154 photopic luminous efficiency not exceeding 3% across the measured spectrum. The
155 measurements are made at a distance of 10 mm.
156 Note 2: A product meeting the exempt risk group criteria of EN 62471 shall also meet the requirements of this
157 standard.
158 20.E.2.2 UV AEL

164 shall not exceed the AEL as calculated using one of the following equations.
165 – Where the output of the LED is expressed in watts per steradian:
-1
166 [W.sr ] (E.1)

168 where C is a correction factor given as: 0.1 for toys intended for children under 3 years of
169 age and, 1 for toys intended for children of 3 years of age and above.
170 Note 1: Relaxation Factor A depends on the peak emission wavelength λ and spectral emission bandwidth ∆λ. See
171 ZZB.42 for calculation of Relaxation Factor A.
172 Note 2: The factor C takes account of the higher UV transmission of the eye’s lens for children under 3 years of age.
