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 !Deleted text" 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
— toy slings and toy catapults, supplied without projectiles;
— flying toys incorporating rotor blade(s) which are capable of spinning approximately horizontally,
each blade being greater than 175 mm in length, measured from the centre of rotation to the blade
tip, and with an overall mass of the flying toy greater than 50 g.
Toy slings and toy catapults supplied with projectiles are covered by this standard.

Varnost igrač - 1. del: Mehanske in fizikalne lastnosti (z dopolnili do vključno A3)
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 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 za otroška igrišča, namenjeno javni uporabi;
– avtomatične igralne naprave, na kovance ali ne, namenjene javni uporabi;
– vozila kot igrače, opremljena z motorji z zgorevanjem (glejte A.2);
– parne stroje kot igrače;
– otroške frače in katapulte brez izstrelkov;
– leteče igrače z rotorskimi lopaticami, ki se lahko vrtijo približno vodoravno, pri čemer je vsaka lopatica daljša od 175 mm, merjeno od središča rotacije do konice lopatice, s skupno maso leteče igrače večjo od 50 g.
Ta standard se uporablja za otroške frače in katapulte z izstrelki.
General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018 - Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties is a European standard published by CEN that sets safety requirements and test topics related to the mechanical and physical hazards of toys. It defines general requirements, specific hazards for different toy types and age groups, and requirements for packaging, warnings and instructions. EN 71-1 is a core reference for toy safety compliance in Europe and is commonly cited alongside other parts of the EN 71 series.
Key topics and technical requirements
This standard is organized to address a wide range of mechanical and physical risks. Key topics include:
- General requirements: material cleanliness, assembly, flexible plastic sheeting and expanding materials.
- Edges, points and protruding parts: tests and limits to reduce cutting, puncture and entrapment hazards.
- Parts moving against each other: folding/sliding mechanisms, hinges, springs and driving mechanisms to prevent crushing and shearing injuries.
- Small parts and choking hazards: requirements for toys intended for children under 36 months, including small balls and play figures.
- Cords, chains and straps: dimensions and configurations that present strangulation risks (special rules for <36 months).
- Balloons and inflatable toys; aquatic toys and liquid-filled components.
- Toys intended to bear the mass of a child: ride-on toys, bicycles, rocking horses and scooters (stability and strength).
- Projectile and flying toys: projectiles with/without stored energy and rotor/propeller hazards.
- Acoustics: limits and exposure categories for sound-emitting toys.
- Magnets and magnetic sets: mechanical safety and specific rules for sets intended for older children.
- Packaging, markings and instructions: mandatory warnings and user information for hazards and age-appropriateness.
(The table of contents in EN 71-1 lists these subjects and many specific subclauses and annexes for test and assessment.)
Practical applications
- Product design and development: engineers and toy designers use EN 71-1 to design out mechanical hazards early in the development cycle.
- Manufacturing and quality control: production teams apply the requirements to ensure consistent safety across batches.
- Test laboratories: accredited labs perform mechanical and physical tests referenced or described in the standard.
- Regulatory compliance and market access: manufacturers and importers rely on EN 71-1 to demonstrate that toys meet recognized European safety criteria.
- Retailers and procurement: buyers use compliance with EN 71-1 as a benchmark for product safety.
Who should use this standard
- Toy manufacturers and designers
- Product safety engineers and compliance officers
- Test houses and certification bodies
- Importers, distributors and retailers of toys
- Regulatory authorities and consumer protection organisations
Related standards
- Other parts of the EN 71 series address complementary hazards (e.g., chemical migration, flammability, electrical aspects). Users typically apply EN 71-1 together with the relevant EN 71 parts to demonstrate comprehensive toy safety.
Keywords: EN 71-1, safety of toys, mechanical and physical properties, toy safety standard, CEN, toy manufacturers, product compliance, test laboratories.

기사 제목: SIST EN 71-1:2015+A1:2018 - 장난감 안전 - 제1부: 기계적 및 물리적 특성 기사 내용: 이 유럽 표준은 장난감의 기계적 및 물리적 특성에 대한 요구사항과 시험 방법을 명시합니다. 이 유럽 표준은 14세 미만의 아동이 놀이에 사용되도록 설계 또는 의도된 모든 제품이나 재료인 장난감에 적용됩니다. 이는 장난감이 예상 가능한 정상적인 사용 기간을 고려하고 장난감이 의도된 방식으로 또는 예상 가능한 방식으로 사용되는 것을 전제로 합니다. 이 유럽 표준은 36개월 미만의 아동을 대상으로 한 장난감, 18개월 미만의 아동을 대상으로 한 장난감, 그리고 독립적으로 일어설 수 없는 아이에게 대상으로 한 장난감에 대한 특정 요구 사항을 포함합니다. 2009/48/EC 지침에 따라 "사용자를 위해 의도된"은 장난감의 기능, 크기 및 특성을 고려하여 부모나 감독이 해당 연령 그룹의 아이가 사용할 것으로 합리적으로 추정할 수 있어야 함을 의미합니다. 따라서 이 유럽 표준에서는 소프트 필드 장난감과 간단한 특징을 가진 놀이와 안기 위해 의도된 장난감을 36개월 미만의 아동을 대상으로 한 장난감으로 간주합니다. 참고로, 장난감의 연령 분류 및 특히 36개월 미만의 아동을 대상으로 한 장난감과 아닌 장난감을 구분하는 정보는 CEN/CENELEC 가이드 11 및 유럽 위원회의 지침 문서에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 이 유럽 표준은 또한 포장, 표시 및 라벨링에 대한 요구사항을 명시합니다. 이 유럽 표준은 운동 악기, 스포츠 장비 또는 유사한 항목은 포함하지 않지만, 장난감 상대편을 포함합니다. 이 유럽 표준은 다음과 같은 장난감에는 적용되지 않습니다. - 공공 장소에서 사용하도록 의도된 놀이공원 장비 - 동전 작동 또는 그렇지 않은 공공 사용을 위해 의도된 자동 재생 기계 - 연료로 작동하는 장난감 차량 (A.2 참조) - 장난감 증기 기관 - 사출하지 않은 장난감 살포 - 중심에서 블레이드 팁까지 길이가 175mm를 초과하고 전체적인 무게가 50g을 초과하는 회전 날개가 있는 날아다니는 장난감 - 장난감 살포가 포함된 장난감 총 장난감 살포가 함께 제공되는 새끼손가락과 장난감 살포는 이 표준에 포함됩니다.
記事のタイトル：SIST EN 71-1:2015+A1:2018 - おもちゃの安全性 - 第1部：機械的および物理的特性 記事の内容：このヨーロッパ規格は、おもちゃの機械的および物理的特性に関する要求事項と試験方法を指定しています。 このヨーロッパ規格は、14歳未満の子供が遊びに使用するために設計されたすべての製品や素材、つまりおもちゃに適用されます。予測可能な通常の使用期間を考慮し、おもちゃが予定された方法でまたは予測可能な方法で使用されることを前提としています。 このヨーロッパ規格には、36か月未満の子供を対象としたおもちゃ、18か月未満の子供を対象としたおもちゃ、独自に座ることができない子供を対象としたおもちゃに対する具体的な要件も含まれています。2009/48/EC指令によると、「使用対象」とは、おもちゃの機能、寸法、特性から、親や監督者が該当年齢グループの子供が使用することが合理的に推定できることを意味します。したがって、このヨーロッパ規格では、抱えたり抱きしめたりするためのシンプルな特徴を備えたソフトフィルドおもちゃは、36か月未満の子供を対象としたおもちゃとみなされます。 注意：おもちゃの年齢別の評価や、特に36か月未満の子供を対象としたおもちゃとそうでないおもちゃの区別がどのようになされるかについての情報は、CEN/CENELECガイド11および欧州委員会のガイダンス文書に記載されています。 このヨーロッパ規格は、また、包装、表示、ラベリングの要件も指定しています。 このヨーロッパ規格は、公共の使用を目的とした遊び場の設備、コイン式または非コイン式の公共の使用を目的とした自動遊技機、内燃機関を搭載したおもちゃの乗り物、おもちゃの蒸気機関、弾丸のないおもちゃのスリングショットやカタパルト、中心からブレード先端までの長さが175mmを超え、総重量が50gを超える回転翼を持つ飛行おもちゃは対象としません。 おもちゃのスリングショットやカタパルトに弾丸が付属している場合は、この規格に含まれます。
The article discusses the European Standard EN 71-1:2015+A1:2018, which addresses the safety of toys in regards to their mechanical and physical properties. The standard applies to toys designed for children under 14 years old and specifies requirements and testing methods. It includes specific requirements for toys for different age groups, such as children under 36 months and those who are too young to sit up unaided. The standard also covers packaging, marking, and labeling requirements. However, it does not apply to playground equipment, coin-operated playing machines, toy vehicles with combustion engines, toy steam engines, flying toys with large rotor blades and significant mass, and slings and catapults without projectiles. Slings and catapults with projectiles are included in the standard.
