Sicherheit von Spielzeug - Teil 4: Experimentierkästen für chemische und ähnliche Versuche

Dieser Teil der Europäischen Norm EN 71 legt Anforderungen für die Höchstmengen bestimmter chemischer Stoffe und Zubereitungen in Experimentierkästen für chemische und ähnliche Versuche fest.
Bei diesen chemischen Stoffen und Zubereitungen handelt es sich um
   Chemikalien, die nach den Richtlinien zu gefährlichen Stoffen [1] als gefährlich eingestuft sind sowie gefährliche Zubereitungen [2] (einschließlich chemischer Stoffe mit Selbsteinstufung nach den Anfor¬derungen dieser Richtlinien);
   chemische Stoffe und Zubereitungen, die bei Verwendung in übermäßigen Mengen die Gesundheit der Kin¬der schädigen können, die jedoch nicht durch die vorstehend genannten Richtlinien als gefährlich einge¬stuft sind; sowie
   sonstige chemische Stoffe und Zubereitungen, die mit dem Spielzeug geliefert werden.
Diese Norm gilt für Chemieexperimentierkästen und Ergänzungskästen. Sie deckt weiterhin Spielzeug für Experimente auf dem Gebiet der Mineralogie, Biologie, Physik, Mikroskopie und der Umweltwissenschaften ab, sofern sie einen oder mehrere chemische Stoffe und/oder Zubereitungen enthalten.
Ferner legt diese Norm Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung, die Inhaltsliste, die Gebrauchsanleitung und an die zur Ausführung der Experimente zu verwendende Ausrüstung fest.
Alle folgenden Abschnitte und Unterabschnitte sind neu zu benummern.
Abschnitt 3 Verweisungen ist durch 2 Normative Verweisungen zu ersetzen.
EN 71 1:1988, Richtlinie 67/548/EWG, 88/379/EWG sowie die Fußnoten 1 und 2 sind zu streichen.
EN 28317 sowie ihr Titel sind durch EN ISO 8317, Kindersichere Verpackung  Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für wiederverschließbare Verpackungen (ISO 8317:2003) zu ersetzen.
Der erste Abschnitt in ehemals Abschnitt 5 ist durch Folgendes zu ersetzen:
Nur die chemischen Stoffe, Zubereitungen und Indikatoren, die in den Tabellen 1 und 2 aufgeführt sind
Im zweiten Absatz von ehemals Abschnitt 5, Chemische Stoffe, ist

Add to the "Introduction" after the last paragraph:
The following technical changes were introduced by EN 71-4:1990/A3:2007:
- deletion of dangerous substances which are suspected of having carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for
reproduction (CMR) properties;
- improvement in the classification of substances.
Replace Clause 1 "Object" and Clause 2 "Field of application" with the following:
1 Scope
"This part of the European Standard EN 71 specifies requirements for the maximum amount of certain
substances and preparations used in experimental sets for chemistry and related activities.
These substances and preparations are
 chemicals classified as dangerous by the Directives on dangerous substances [1] and dangerous
preparations [2] (including substances which have been self-classified according to the requirements of
these Directives);
 substances and preparations which in excessive amounts may harm the health of the children using them
but which are not classified as dangerous by the above mentioned Directives and
 other chemical substances and preparations delivered with the toy.
This standard applies to chemistry sets and supplementary sets. It also covers toys for experiments within the
fields of mineralogy, biology, physics, microscopy and environmental science whenever they contain one or
more chemical substances and/or preparations.
It also specifies requirements for marking, contents list, instructions for use and for equipment intended for
carrying out the experiments."

Renumber all the subsequent clauses and subclauses.
Replace Clause 3 "References" with Clause 2 “Normative references"
Delete "EN 71-1:1988, Directive 67/548/EEC, 88/379/EEC" and the" footnotes 1 and 2".
Replace "EN 28317"and its title with "EN ISO 8317, Child-resistant packaging - Requirements and
testing procedures for reclosable packages (ISO 8317:2003)".
st
In former Clause 5 change the 1 paragraph as follows:
"Only chemical substances, preparations and indicators given in Table 1 and Table 2…"
In the second paragraph of former Clause 5, Chemical substances, replace:
“….within the definitions contained in Directives 67/548/EEC (with subsequent amendments and adaptations)
and 88/379/EEC (with subsequent amendments and adaptations).”
