European foreword
This document (FprCEN/TS 13387-2:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252
“Child care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the Vote on TS.
This document will supersede CEN/TR 13387-2:2018.
The chemical part has been updated compared to the previous edition. Apart from some adaptations
necessary as a result of relevant reference documents which have been adopted or changed after the
publication of the previous edition of the present guidelines some corrections were made. In addition,
the recommendations relating to formaldehyde and preliminary aromatic amines were changed.
The CEN/TS 13387 series comprises the following five parts:
— Safety philosophy and safety assessment (CEN/TS 13387-1);
— Chemical hazards (CEN/TS 13387-2);
— Mechanical hazards (CEN/TS 13387-3);
— Thermal hazards (CEN/TS 13387-4);
— Product information (CEN/TS 13387-5).
CEN/TS 13387-2 is intended to be used in conjunction with CEN/TS 13387-1.
1 Scope
This document provides guidance information on chemical hazards that are taken into consideration
