EN71 is the normative standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most cared and loved group in the whole society. The toy market that children generally love is developing rapidly. At the same time, various types of toys cause damage to children due to quality problems in various aspects. Requirements are becoming increasingly strict.
Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and production companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before being sold in the region. The manufacturer must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design, or the use of inappropriate materials. As a result, the EN71 certification decree for toys was launched in Europe, which means that the technical specifications of toy products entering the European market are implemented through the EN71 standard, thereby reducing or avoiding harm to children by toys.
