EN 71 Certificate for Toys

• Children are the primary target of a large group
  of industries today, the primary one being toys.
  This is why testing of toys according to a
  specific standard set is required. While the IS -
  9873 (Part 1, 3, 9) and IS 15644 guidelines are
  being tested, a step further would be testing
  with regards to standards for the EN71
  certification, the standard of European toy
  market. In addition to existing tests, these
  would also ensure checking for magnetic and
  electrical toys, with suitable warning labels.

• The material and automatic attributes of a toy
  would be checked via the characteristics of fall
  detection, choking hazard and minor parts, sharp
  edges , stress testing, pressure testing, seam
  detection for plush toys, and torsion test. These
  parameters can be tested for an advanced safety
  measure, to make sure of the same for children.
