the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2025, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2025.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.

Introduction
According to article 46 of Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys [1] the “Commission may adopt
specific limit values for chemicals used in toys intended for use by children under 36 months or in other
toys intended to be placed in the mouth”.
In May 2017, the European Commission amended Appendix C to Annex II to this Directive accordingly
and adopted a specific limit value for bisphenol A in toys (see Commission Directive (EU) 2017/898 [2]).
This document provides a test method to check compliance with this limit value.
WARNING — The application of the test method specified in this document can involve hazardous
materials, operations and equipment. The document does not purport to address all of the safety or
environmental problems associated with its use.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and a test method for migration of bisphenol A from toy materials.
This document is applicable to toys intended for use by children under 36 months or other toys intended
to be placed in the mouth.
NOTE The European Commission Guidance Document No 11 on the Application of Directive 2009/48/EC on
the Safety of Toys [3] provides guidelines to help on the classification of toys intended for children under 36 months
of age or of 36 months and over.

3.1
sample
part of the toy material subject to testing
Note 1 to entry: A sample can consist of more than one material if the materials cannot be separated (e.g. coatings
on a base material).
4 Requirements
Migration of bisphenol A from toy materials shall not exceed 0,04 mg/l when tested according to the
method specified in this document.
NOTE This limit corresponds to the limit value specified in Directive 2009/48/EC [1] which was introduced by
Commission Directive (EU) 2017/898 [2].
5 Principle
The migration of bisphenol A from toy material is tested by using water as simulant. Migration conditions
are shaking the sample at 37 °C for 3 h. The migration solution is analysed using a liquid chromatography
system coupled with a tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
mode.
NOTE More information on selection of simulant and migration conditions can be found in Clause A.1.
6 Reagents, standards and apparatus
6.1 Reagents
Unless otherwise specified, all reagents shall be at least analytical grade. Reagents shall be stored as
specified by the supplier.
