Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties

This European Standard specifies requirements and methods of tests for mechanical and physical properties of toys.
This European Standard applies to toys for children, toys being any product or material designed or intended, whether or not exclusively, for use in play by children of less than 14 years. It refers to new toys taking into account the period of foreseeable and normal use, and that the toys are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children.
It includes specific requirements for toys intended for children under 36 months, children under 18 months and for children who are too young to sit up unaided. According to Directive 2009/48/EC "intended for use by" means that a parent or supervisor shall reasonably be able to assume by virtue of the functions, dimensions and characteristics of a toy that it is intended for use by children of the stated age group. Therefore, for the purpose of this European Standard, e.g. soft-filled toys with simple features intended for holding and cuddling are considered as toys intended for children under 36 months.
NOTE   Information relating to the age grading of toys and, in particular, which toys are intended for children under 36 months and which toys are not, can be found in the CEN Report CR 14379, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Age determination guidelines, CEN/CENELEC Guide 11 and the European Commission’s Guidance Documents.
This European Standard also specifies requirements for packaging, marking and labelling.
This European Standard does not cover musical instruments, sports equipment or similar items but does include their toy counterparts.
This European Standard does not apply to the following toys:
-   playground equipment intended for public use;
-   automatic playing machines, whether coin operated or not, intended for public use;
-   toy vehicles equipped with combustion engines (see A.2);
-   toy steam engines;
-   slings and catapults.
Items that are propelled into free flight by a child releasing an elastic band (e.g. aeroplanes and rockets) are considered as catapults (see the 5th indent above).
This European Standard does not cover electrical safety aspects of toys. These are covered by EN 62115.
Furthermore, it does not cover the following items which, for the purpose of this European Standard, are not considered as toys:
a)   decorative objects for festivities and celebrations;
b)   products for collectors, provided that the product or its packaging bears a visible and legible indication that it is intended for collectors of 14 years of age and above; examples of this category are:
1)   detailed and faithful scale models (see A.2);
2)   kits for the assembly of detailed scale models;
3)   folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles;
4)   historical replicas of toys;
5)   reproductions of real fire arms;
c)   sports equipment including roller skates, inline skates, and skateboards intended for children with a body mass of more than 20 kg;

Sécurité des jouets - Propriétés mécaniques et physiques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d’essai pour les propriétés mécaniques et physiques des jouets.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux jouets pour enfants ; on entend par «jouet» tout produit conçu ou destiné, exclusivement ou non, à être utilisé à des fins de jeux par des enfants de moins de 14 ans. Il fait référence à des jouets neufs et en tenant compte de la durée d’utilisation normale et prévisible et de conditions normales ou prévisibles d’utilisation des jouets, eu égard au comportement des enfants.
Elle comporte des exigences spécifiques pour les jouets destinés aux enfants de moins de 36 mois, aux enfants de moins de 18 mois et à ceux qui sont trop jeunes pour s’asseoir tout seuls. Conformément à la Directive 2009/48/CE, «destiné à être utilisé par» signifie que les parents ou la personne chargée de la surveillance doivent pouvoir raisonnablement déduire des fonctions, dimensions et caractéristiques d’un jouet que celui-ci est destiné à être utilisé par des enfants de la catégorie d’âge indiquée. Par conséquent, pour les besoins de la présente Norme européenne, les jouets souples rembourrés avec fonctions simples à tenir et câliner, par exemple, sont considérés comme des jouets destinés aux enfants de moins de 36 mois.
NOTE   Pour des informations relatives à la catégorie d’âge des jouets et, en particulier, quels jouets sont destinés aux enfants de moins de 36 mois et lesquels ne le sont pas, se reporter au rapport CEN CR 14379, aux lignes directrices de la Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) relatives à la détermination de l’âge, au Guide 11 du CEN/CENELEC et aux documents de recommandations de la Commission européenne.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie également des exigences relatives à l’emballage, au marquage et à l’étiquetage.
Elle ne traite pas des instruments de musique, des équipements de sports ou autres produits semblables mais elle concerne leurs contreparties en jouet.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux jouets suivants :
-   les équipements pour aires collectives de jeu destinées à une utilisation publique ;
-   les machines de jeu automatiques, à pièces ou non, destinées à une utilisation publique ;
-   les véhicules de jeu équipés de moteurs à combustion (voir A.2) ;
-   les jouets machine à vapeur ;
-   les frondes et lance-pierres.
Les éléments propulsés en vol libre par l’enfant en lâchant un élastique (par exemple, les avions et les fusées) sont considérés comme des frondes (voir le cinquième tiret ci-dessus).
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas de l’aspect de sécurité électrique des jouets, qui fait l’objet de l’EN 62115.
En outre, elle ne traite pas des articles qui, pour les besoins de la présente Norme européenne, ne sont pas considérés comme des jouets :
a)   les objets décoratifs servant aux fêtes et célébrations ;
b)   les produits destinés à des collectionneurs, à condition que le produit ou son emballage indique de façon visible et lisible qu’il est destiné aux collectionneurs âgés d’au moins 14 ans. Des exemples de produits appartenant à cette catégorie :
1)   les modèles réduits à l’identique, construits à l’échelle en détail (voir A.2) ;
2)   les coffrets d’assemblage de modèles réduits construits à l’échelle en détail ;

Varnost igrač - 1. del: Mehanske in fizikalne lastnosti

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in metode preskusov za mehanske in fizikalne lastnosti igrač.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za otroške igrače – pod pojmom igrače se razume kateri koli izdelek ali material, oblikovan za igro ali namenjen, izključno ali ne, igri za otroke, mlajše od 14 let. Nanaša se na obdobje predvidene in običajne rabe novih igrač in na to, da so igrače, ob upoštevanju vedenja otrok, uporabljene v skladu z njihovim namenom in na predviden način.
Vključuje posebne zahteve za igrače, namenjene otrokom, mlajšim od 36 mesecev, otrokom, mlajšim od 18 mesecev, in otrokom, ki so premladi, da bi brez pomoči sedeli pokončno. V skladu z Direktivo 2009/48/ES „namenjen za uporabo“ pomeni, da starši ali osebe, ki nadzorujejo otroka, na podlagi funkcij, dimenzij in značilnosti igrače lahko upravičeno sklepajo, da je igrača namenjena za uporabo otrokom določene starostne skupine. Zato so, za potrebe tega evropskega standarda, npr. mehke igrače s preprostimi dodatki, namenjene držanju in objemanju, obravnavane kot igrače, namenjene otrokom, mlajšim od 36 mesecev.
OPOMBA Informacije, povezane z določanjem primernosti igrače za določeno starostno skupino, še zlasti, katere igrače so namenjene otrokom, mlajšim od 36 mesecev, in katere niso, so na voljo v poročilu CEN CR 14379, smernicah za določanje starosti komisije ZDA za varnost potrošniških proizvodov (CPSC), vodilu CEN/CENELEC 11 in dokumentih s smernicami Evropske komisije.
Ta evropski standard navaja tudi posebne zahteve za pakiranje, označevanje in etiketiranje.
Ta evropski standard ne zajema glasbil, športne opreme ali podobnih predmetov, zajema pa te predmete v obliki igrač.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za naslednje igrače:
– opremo na otroških igriščih, namenjeno javni rabi;
– avtomatične igralne naprave, ki delujejo na kovance ali brez njih, namenjene javni uporabi;
– vozila kot igrače, opremljena z motorji z izgorevanjem (glej A.2);
– parne stroje kot igrače;
– frače in katapulte.
Predmeti, ki jih otrok z izpustom elastičnega traku požene v prosti let (npr. letala in rakete), se obravnavajo kot katapulti (glej 5. alinejo zgoraj).
Ta evropski standard ne zajema vidikov električne varnosti igrač. Ti so obravnavani v standardu EN 62115.
Poleg tega ne obravnava naslednjih predmetov, ki se, za potrebe tega evropskega standarda, ne obravnavajo kot igrače:
a) okrasni predmeti za praznične prireditve in praznovanja;
b) proizvodi za zbiratelje, pod pogojem, da je na proizvodu ali njegovi embalaži vidna in čitljiva oznaka, da je namenjen zbirateljem, starim najmanj 14 let. Primeri te kategorije so:
1) podrobni zmanjšani modeli v ustreznem merilu (glej A.2);
2) kompleti za sestavljanje podrobnih zmanjšanih modelov;
3) lutke v narodnih nošah in okrasne lutke ter drugi podobni predmeti;
4) zgodovinske kopije igrač;
5) reprodukcije pravega strelnega orožja;
c) športna oprema, vključno s kotalkami, rolerji in rolkami, namenjenimi otrokom s telesno maso več kot 20 kg;
d) kolesa, katerih najvišja možna višina sedeža presega 435 mm, merjeno kot vertikalna razdalja od tal do zgornje površine sedeža, pri čemer je sedež v horizontalnem položaju in površina sedeža nastavljena v najnižji poziciji;
e) skiroji in druga prevozna sredstva, ki so načrtovana za šport ali namenjena za potovanja po javnih cestah ali javnih poteh;
f) vozila na električni pogon, ki so namenjena za potovanja po javnih cestah, javnih poteh ali pločniku;
g) oprema za uporabo v globoki vodi in naprave za učenje plavanja, namenjene otrokom, kot so plavalni sedeži in plavalni pripomočki;
h) sestavljanke iz več kot 500 kosov;
i) puške in pištole z uporabo stisnjenega plina, razen vodnih pušk in vodnih pištol;
j) loki za lokostrelstvo, daljši od 120 cm;
