Introduction
This European Standard contains requirements which are intended to reduce the risks to children when finger
paints are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. It is intended
to complete the essential safety requirements of Directive 2009/48/EC by providing special requirements for
finger paints.
It is recognized that finger paints when compared to other toy products present different risks because of the
intended use by fingers or hands and the age of the child. For example, prolonged skin contact or possible
ingestion of paint material cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the safety requirements outlined in other parts of
EN 71 needed to be expanded upon for finger paints. In order to address the risks associated with the use of
finger paints by children, this part of EN 71 contains requirements relating to preservatives as well as other
ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of finger paints and requirements relating to impurities,
migration of certain elements and other attributes.

Number (EINECS) or Colour Index Number given in the tables are provided for information purposes only.
