(Main)Electric toys - Safety
Electric toys - Safety
Deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function dependent on electricity. Examples of toys within the scope of this standard are constructional sets; experimental sets; functional toys(having a function similar to an appliance or installation used by adults) and video toys(toys having a screen and means of activation, such as a joystick or keyboard. Seperate screens having a rated voltage of more than 24 v are not considered to be part of the toy). Toys using electricty for secondary functions are also within the scope of this standard (a dolls house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy).

Električne igrače - Varnost (IEC 62115:2003 + A1:2004, spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost igrač, ki imajo vsaj eno funkcijo, odvisno od elektrike. Dodatne zahteve za eksperimentalne sete so podane v dodatku A. Igrače, ki uporabljajo elektriko za sekundarne funkcije, so zajete v obsegu tega standarda. Dodatne zahteve za igrače, ki vsebujejo laserje in svetleče diode, so podane v dodatku E. Da so v skladu s tem standardom, morajo biti električne igrače prav tako v skladu z ISO 8124-1, saj zajema nevarnosti, drugačne od tistih, ki lahko nastanejo zaradi uporabe elektrike.

Foreword
During the Copenhagen meeting in May 2003, the CENELEC Technical Committee TC 61 decided to
submit the text of the International Standard IEC 62115:2003, prepared by IEC TC 61, to the Unique
Acceptance Procedure together with CENELEC common modifications.
The text of the draft common modifications, circulated in March 2004, included the content of the future
amendment 1 to IEC 62115:2003. In view of the publication of this amendment in IEC, the relevant
common modifications have been deleted and amendment 1:2004 to IEC 62115:2003 has been included
in the European Standard which was approved by CENELEC as EN 62115 on 2004-12-07.
This European Standard replaces EN 50088:1996 + A1:1996 + A2:1997 + corrigenda April 2001 +
A3:2002.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2006-01-01
- date on which national standards
conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2008-01-01
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of
EC Directive 88/378/EEC. See Annex ZZ.
NOTE The following print types are used:
- requirements: in roman type;
- test specifications: in italic type;
- notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun
are also in bold.
There are no special national conditions causing a deviation from this European Standard.
There are no national deviations from this European Standard.
