EN 71-7:2002 (E)
Introduction
It is recognised that finger paints when compared to other toy products present different risks: the ingestion of paint
material and the possibility for prolonged skin contact. Therefore, the safety limitations expressed in other parts of
EN 71 are not wholly appropriate.
In order to accommodate this risk and to reduce the risks associated with potential ingestion of paint, this part of
this European Standard specifies the ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of finger paints, and
specifies certain limitations on impurities, preservatives, migration of certain elements and other attributes.
It is intended to reduce the risks which may be presented to a child when finger paints are used as intended or in a
foreseeable way, bearing in mind the normal behaviour of children.
Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS), European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances Number
(EINECS) or Colour Index Number given in the tables are provided for information purposes only.
This European Standard is intended to complete the general valid safety requirements of Directive 88/378/EEC by
special requirements for finger paints, to facilitate the proof of compliance with these general specifications.
1 Scope
This part of EN 71 specifies requirements for the substances and materials used in finger paints and applies to
finger paints only.
Additional requirements are specified for markings, labelling and containers.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).
