EN71 is a European standard that specifies safety requirements for toys. It aims to ensure that toys are safe for children by addressing various hazards, including mechanical, physical, and chemical risks. The standard covers aspects such as flammability, choking hazards, and the use of non-toxic materials. Manufacturers must test their toys to comply with EN71 before they can be sold in the European Union. Compliance helps protect children from potential injuries and health risks associated with unsafe toys. The standard is part of a broader regulatory framework that promotes child safety in play environments.
