Introduction
This European Standard contains requirements which are intended to reduce the risks to children when finger
paints are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. It is intended
to complete the essential safety requirements of Directive 2009/48/EC by providing special requirements for
finger paints.
It is recognized that finger paints when compared to other toy products present different risks because of the
intended use by fingers or hands and the age of the child. For example, prolonged skin contact or possible
ingestion of paint material cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the safety requirements outlined in other parts of
EN 71 needed to be expanded upon for finger paints. In order to address the risks associated with the use of
finger paints by children, this part of EN 71 contains requirements relating to preservatives as well as other
ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of finger paints and requirements relating to impurities,
migration of certain elements and other attributes.
Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS), European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances
Number (EINECS) or Colour Index Number given in the tables are provided for information purposes only.

The Colour Index is published by The Society of Dyers and Colourists, PO Box 244, Perkin House 82 Grattan Road,
Bradford, West Yorkshire BD1 2JB, United Kingdom, www.colour-index.org. Colourants are classified using both their CI
Generic name and their constitution number. These relate only to the “essential colourant” as defined by the Colour Index.
The CAS numbers given are also taken from this database and again refer only to the “essential colourant”.
b
This substance is restricted in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 [5] as follows: “Not to be used in eye products” or “Not
to be used in products applied to mucous membranes”, as applicable.
c
The insoluble barium, strontium and zirconium lakes, salts and pigments of these colourants are also permitted.
According to Directive 2009/48/EC requirements on these elements need to be taken in consideration.
d
This substance is restricted in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 [5] as follows: ” Rinse-off products”.
e
Azo colourants are typically formed by a reaction sequence of diazotisation of a primary aromatic amine which is
referred to as the diazo component, followed by reaction (aka coupling) with a compound having active methylene groups
referred to as a coupling component.
