FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of children.
Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children and their
intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended
or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does not
eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of toys. It is assumed that when
choosing a toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and mental development of the
child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks that
are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some toys have risks inherent
in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to reasonably foreseeable
use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as adults.
While this standard applies to new toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear and tear
of toys in use.
The fact that a toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other persons in
charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is also
necessary when children of various ages have access to the same toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to
large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. This results in different requirements and tests
according to the type of toy. For some toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are
met (see Clause 6).
A toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other
features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
standard.

ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
1 Scope
This International Standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function
dependent on electricity.
NOTE 1 Examples of toys also within the scope of this standard are
– constructional sets;
– experimental sets;
– functional toys (models that have a function similar to an appliance or installation used by adults);
– video toys (toys consisting of a screen and activating means, such as a joystick or keyboard. Separate screens
having a rated voltage exceeding 24 V are not considered to be a part of the toy).
Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.
Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 2 A doll's house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy.
In order to comply with this standard, electric toys also have to comply with ISO 8124-1, since
it covers hazards other than those arising by the use of electricity.
NOTE 3 Transformers for toys and battery chargers are not considered to be a toy, even if supplied with it.
NOTE 4 If it is intended that a child also plays with the packaging, the latter is considered to be part of the toy.
NOTE 5 This standard does not apply to
– toy steam engines;
– scale models for adult collectors;
– folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles for adult collectors;
– sports equipment;
– aquatic equipment intended to be used in deep water;
– equipment intended to be used collectively in playgrounds;
– amusement machines (IEC 60335-2-82);
– professional toys installed in public places (shopping centres, stations, etc.);
– products containing heating elements intended for use under the supervision of an adult in a teaching context;
– portable child-appealing luminaires (IEC 60598-2-10);
– Christmas decorations.

ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62115 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety
of household and similar electrical appliances.
This consolidated version of IEC 62115 consists of the first edition (2003) [documents
61/2263/FDIS and 61/2323/RVD], its amendment 1 (2004) [documents 61/2711/FDIS and
61/2738/RVD] and its amendment 2 (2010) [documents 61/4051/FDIS and 61/4079/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendments and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.2.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendments 1 and 2.
The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.
This bilingual version (2006-01) replaces the English version.
– 4 – 62115 IEC:2003+A1:2004+A2:2010
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
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.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 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 the amendment 2 be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
