Overview

EN 71-7:2014/prA1 - Safety of toys - Part 7: Finger paints - Requirements and test methods (CEN) is the European standard that specifies safety and test requirements for substances and materials used exclusively in finger paints. The document (draft amendment A1 to EN 71-7:2014) updates technical requirements, labelling text and Annex B preservative lists and limits. It applies only to finger paints and covers both chemical safety and practical packaging/marking requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: applies to finger paints only - focuses on the safety of substances and materials in formulation.
• Chemical safety & labelling:
  • References CLP/Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 for H- and P-phrase information; the amendment adds a note that CLP phrases may be required for certain dangerous substances/mixtures (e.g., sensitising ingredients).
  • Revised consumer warning: “Mix with water in accordance with the instructions before giving to a child. Avoid inhalation of the powder.”
  • Some editorial changes to Annex A (deleting a previous sentence requiring colourant composition to be made available on request).
• Preservatives and concentration limits:
  • Annex B (Table B.1) lists approved preservatives and maximum allowed concentrations (examples include benzoic acid/salts, sorbic acid, parabens, chlorophenesin, 2‑phenoxyethanol, etc.). Limits range from very low (e.g., 0.01% for some actives) up to 1.0% for others, and include specific restrictions (e.g., purity criteria, pH constraint for certain substances).
  • Some entries include specific product constraints such as pH of finished product (e.g., certain oxazolidine preservative requires finished-product pH ≥ 6).
• Test methods: the Part sets out required test procedures to verify compliance (chemical limits, preservative content and other safety tests) - see standard for full test method details.
• Markings, labelling and containers: additional requirements are specified for packaging, instructions and consumer warnings tailored to finger paints.

Applications and users

• Manufacturers and formulators of finger paints - to design compliant products and select preservatives within allowed limits.
• Testing laboratories - to perform the required chemical analyses and verify conformity with EN 71‑7 requirements.
• Regulators and conformity assessors - to evaluate market compliance and safety of finger-paint products.
• Importers, distributors and retailers - to ensure labelling, safety information and packaging meet European requirements.

Related standards / notes

• Part of the EN 71 series (toy safety) - relevant alongside other parts of EN 71 for broader toy-safety compliance.
• Cross-references: CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 for hazard communication and labelling.

Keywords: EN 71-7:2014, EN 71-7, finger paints safety, toy safety standard, preservatives limits, CEN, requirements and test methods, CLP.
