Electric toys - Safety

This International Standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function dependent on electricity. Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A. Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard. Additional requirements for toys incorporating lasers and light-emitting diodes are given in Annex E. In order to comply with this standard, electric toys also have to comply with ISO 8124-1, since it covers hazards other than those arising by the use of electricity.

Elektrische Spielzeuge - Sicherheit

Jouets électriques - Sécurité

Električne igrače - Varnost - Dopolnilo A11

Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost igrač, ki imajo vsaj eno funkcijo, odvisno od elektrike. Dodatne zahteve za eksperimentalne sete so podane v dodatku A. Igrače, ki uporabljajo elektriko za sekundarne funkcije, so zajete v obsegu tega standarda. Dodatne zahteve za igrače, ki vsebujejo laserje in svetleče diode, so podane v dodatku E. Da so v skladu s tem standardom, morajo biti električne igrače prav tako v skladu z ISO 8124-1, saj zajema nevarnosti, drugačne od tistih, ki lahko nastanejo zaradi uporabe elektrike.

Annex ZB
(normative)
Toys with protective electronic circuit
If during the tests of 9.8 an electronic circuit prevents the hazardous conditions listed in 9.9 or
dangerous malfunction, it shall additionally comply with the following requirements. In this case, the
electronic circuit is considered as a protective electronic circuit. For toys with a protective
electronic circuit, the following requirement is therefore applicable in addition to Clause 9.
9.ZB The toy shall not malfunction in such a way as to cause an unintended operation that may impair
safety or present a dangerous malfunction due to influence from electromagnetic phenomena (EMP).
Compliance is checked by the test of 9.ZB.1 and 9.ZB.2. Transformer toys and dual-supply toys
incorporating a protective electronic circuit are additionally subjected to the tests of 9.ZB.3 to 9.ZB.7,
using the supplied or the recommended transformer for toys. The tests are carried out under the
following conditions.
The tests are carried out with the toy supplied at rated voltage and the toy operated in the following
modes:
– electronic off mode;
– stand-by mode;
– operating mode.
NOTE If the toy has several modes of operation, the tests are carried out with the toy operating in each mode if necessary.
The tests are carried out after the protective electronic circuit has operated during the fault conditions
of 9.8.2.
The tests are carried out with surge arresters disconnected, unless they incorporate spark gaps.
Toys incorporating electronic controls complying with the EN 60730 series are not exempt from the tests.
If the protective electronic circuit includes only passive electronic components such as positive
temperature co-efficient (PTC) resistors, negative temperature co-efficient (NTC) resistors or voltage
dependent resistors (VDRs), the tests of Annex ZB are not applied.
9.ZB.1 The toy is subjected to electrostatic discharges in accordance with EN 61000-4-2, test level 4
being applicable. Ten discharges having a positive polarity and ten discharges having a negative polarity
are applied at each preselected point.
9.ZB.2 The toy is subjected to radiated fields in accordance with EN 61000-4-3, test level 3 being
applicable.
NOTE The dwell time for each frequency is to be sufficient to observe a possible malfunction of the protective electronic
circuit.
9.ZB.3 The toy is subjected to fast transient bursts in accordance with EN 61000-4-4. Test level 3 is
applicable for signal and control lines. Test level 4 is applicable for the power supply lines. The bursts are
applied for 2 min with a positive polarity and for 2 min with a negative polarity.
9.ZB.4 The power supply terminals of the toy are subjected to voltage surges in accordance with
EN 61000-4-5, five positive impulses and five negative impulses being applied at the selected points. Test
level 3 is applicable for the line-to-line coupling mode, a generator having a source impedance of 2 Ω
being used. Test level 4 is applicable for the line-to-earth coupling mode, a generator having a source
impedance of 12 Ω being used.
For toys having surge arresters incorporating spark gaps, the test is repeated at a level that is 95 % of
the flashover voltage.
– 15 – EN 62115:2005/A11:2012
9.ZB.5 The toy is subjected to injected currents in accordance with EN 61000-4-6, test level 3 being
applicable. During the test, all frequencies between 0,15 MHz to 80 MHz are covered.
NOTE The dwell time for each frequency is to be sufficient to observe a possible malfunction of the protective electronic
circuit.
9.ZB.6 The toy is subjected to voltage dips and interruptions in accordance with EN 61000-4-11. The
durations specified in EN 61000-4-11:2004, Table 1, are applied to each test level, the dips and
interruptions being applied at zero crossing of the supply voltage.
9.ZB.7 The toy is subjected to mains signals in accordance with EN 61000-4-13, test level class 2 being
applicable.

Annex ZZB
(informative)
Background and justification for this European Standard
NOTE For correct application of the standard, the normative text takes precedence over the rationale and guidance given in
Annex ZZB.
ZZB.1 General
This European Standard seeks as far as possible to apply a hazard approach instead of design
restrictions for toys. The following definitions should be kept in mind when reading the standard:
– hazard is a potential source of harm;
– risk is the probable rate of occurrence of a hazard causing harm and the degree of severity of the harm;
– harm means physical injury or any other damage to health, including long-term health effects.
For most of the requirements, the hazards addressed are explained in Annex ZZB together with a
background and justification.
ZZB.2 Scope (see Clause 1)
The scope of this European Standard has been amended to cover the scope of European Directive
2009/48/EC on the safety of toys.
ZZB.3 General conditions for the tests (see Clause 5)
This clause sets a series of standardised conditions under which all tests should be carried out, unless
otherwise specified. The conditions are designed to simulate as far as possible normal use conditions as
well as instruction on the number of samples to be used and the order in which the tests are to be carried
out. Tests are carried out on a single toy in the order of clauses specified in the standard unless
otherwise stated in this clause. Furthermore, this clause requires that testing be carried out under certain
abuse conditions which are foreseeable such as the reversal of the polarity of the primary batteries.
This clause also describes a set of pre-conditioning tests which should be carried out prior to the tests
specified in this European Standard. Furthermore, this clause describes the condition in which the toy
needs to be when the tests are carried out, requiring that the most unfavourable conditions are used for
each test.
ZZB.4 Criteria for reduced testing (see Clause 6)
6.1 and 6.2 foresee certain situations where reduced testing is justified.
6.1 allows certain tests on electrical insulation to be disregarded for toys that can function safely should
the insulation break down.
This subclause requires a test to be carried out where parts of different polarity are short-circuited. If the
toy can withstand this fault condition and continue to comply with the requirements of the temperature
rise tests of Clause 9, the toy is considered to have reduced potential to present a hazard should the
insulation between parts of different polarity break down. Consequently, the toy is then considered to
comply automatically with the requirements of the following:
– Clause 10 "Electrical strength at operating temperature";
– 11.2 (resistance to humidity),
– Clause 12 "Electrical strength at room temperature";

– Clause 15 "Protection of cords and wires";
– Clause 18 "Clearances and creepage distances".
6.2 allows certain tests associated with short-circuiting to be disregarded for battery toys having
batteries of limited power and where it is not likely that a short circuit will take place.
Batteries of limited power are those batteries where the total battery voltage does not exceed 2,5 V
measured 1 s after a 1 Ω resistor has been connected over the supply terminals of the toy in which the
battery is inserted. Such toys are considered to have lower potential to present a hazard under accidental
short-circuit condition and as such are considered to comply with the following:
– Clause 10 "Electrical strength at operating temperature";
– Clause 11 "Moisture resistance" (except 11.1);
– Clause 12 "Electrical strength at room temperature";
– Clause 15 "Protection of cords and wires" (except 15.2);
– Clause 17 "Screws and connectors" (except 17.1);
– Clause 18 "Clearances and creepage distances" (except the additional distances for computer
toys);
– Clause 19 "Resistance to heat and fire".
A short circuit is considered unlikely to take place behind the cover to the battery compartment if the
cover can only be removed with the aid of a tool or by two simultaneous movements applied
simultaneously. An example of acceptable independent simultaneously movements is a push and a twist
movement.
ZZB.5 Marking and instructions (see Clause 7)
Toys are required to be accompanied by sufficient information to enable their safe operation. This clause
contains requirements that toys or their packaging are to be marked with the name and address of the
manufacturer or responsible vendor to ensure traceability as well as compliance with certain European
directives.
There are requirements for the marking of battery boxes for toys, transformers for toys and
replaceable bulbs to reduce the possibility of the user employing such components with an incorrect
specification.
Furthermore, there are requirements to ensure the instructions of toys contain sufficient user information.
7.4 requires that certain instructions for the use of toys with replaceable batteries and transformers be
included. It should be noted that only the substance of this information is required and some of the
statements may
