Introduction
This document EN 71-13 is intended to reduce the risks and health hazards to a child when olfactory
board games, cosmetic kits and gustative games are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in
mind the behaviour of children.
During use of these toys, the hazards should be kept to a minimum by the provision of appropriate
information to make the play safe and controllable. Therefore, this document specifies warning phrases
and instructions for use for these toys.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular ages of children. Their
characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children, and their use presupposes
certain aptitudes. Therefore, age requirements are given.
The requirements of this document do not release parents or carers from their responsibility of watching
over the child while he or she is playing. On the contrary, the use of these sets requires close supervision
by adults.
1 Scope
This document applies to olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games and supplementary sets. It
specifies requirements on the use of substances and mixtures and in some cases on their amount and
concentration in olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games and supplementary sets to such
games or kits.
These substances and mixtures are:
— those classified as hazardous by the EC-legislation applying to hazardous substances [13] and
hazardous mixtures [13];
— substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children using
them and which are not classified as hazardous by the above-mentioned legislation; and
— any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the set.
Furthermore, this document specifies allergenic fragrances which are prohibited in toys, marking
requirements, in particular regarding allergenic fragrances, and requirements on a contents list,
instructions for use, the equipment intended to be used during the activity and the use of highly
flammable liquids.
This document does not apply to cosmetic toys such as play cosmetics for dolls.
NOTE The terms “substance” and “mixture” are defined in the REACH regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 [14] and
in the CLP regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [13].

(accessible glass may be used where its use is necessary to the function of the toy).
Containers shall differ in size and shape from laboratory glassware to avoid them being mistaken as
glassware for use in the activities specified in the instructions for use.
All containers supplied in gustative games and all containers in olfactory board games which contain food
ingredients must be in compliance with relevant food contact material legislation.
NOTE Relevant legislation for food contact material are Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 [3] and Regulation (EU)
No 10/2011 [4].
5.2.2.2 #Maximum content of flammable liquids in olfactory board games, cosmetic kits and
gustative games$
The maximum content of a container shall not exceed:
— 10 ml for liquids having a flash point < 23 °C and an initial boiling point > 35 °C;
— 30 ml for liquids having a flash point ≥ 23 °C and ≤ 60 °C.
5.2.3 #Child-resistant containers
If, after the safety assessment, child-resistant containers are needed for substances and mixtures
classified as hazardous by the EC-legislation applying to hazardous substances [13], [14], and hazardous
mixtures [13], [14], the closures of the child-resistant containers shall comply with one of the following
requirements:
a) they shall comply with EN ISO 8317:2015; or
b) they shall require two independent movements to be opened: a vertical force downwards and a
torque in the clockwise or anticlockwise direction (e.g. bayonet joint). When tested in accordance
with E.1 (closure test A), the closure shall not open; or
c) they shall consist of a snap-in stopper and shall require an external tool to be opened. The closure
shall only be opened by a specifically designed tool (i.e. a tool deviating from usual household tools
such as screw drivers, wrenches or coins). When tested in accordance with E.2 (closure test B), the
closure shall not open.
NOTE 1 According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Article 35, 2. reclosable packages (containers) containing “a
substance or mixture which meets the requirements in section 3.1.1 of Annex II [of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008]
shall have a child-resistant fastening” which complies with EN ISO 8317.
NOTE 2 The safety assessment refers to the safety assessment to be carried out according to Directive
2009/48/EC.
Closures for child-resistant containers intended to be used for liquids shall not break, crack or leak when
tested according to the following procedure:
— Fill the container with water. The filling volume shall be approximately 3/4 of the container volume.
— Attach the closure.
— Drop the filled container including its closure with its closure facing downwards five times from a
height of (850 ± 50) mm on to the coated side of a 4 mm thick steel plate with a 2 mm thick coating
of Shore A hardness (75 ± 5).
NOTE 3 This coated steel plate is specified in EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018, 8.5.
— Check visually for any breaks, cracks or leakages of the closure.
NOTE 4 Compliance with these requirements is intended to prevent younger children than the minimum
recommended age grade accessing materials contained in such containers.$
5.3 Equipment for the transfer of liquid
Mouth-actuated pipettes shall not be supplied. Where the transfer of liquid is required, a mechanical
means which does not permit aspiration by the mouth shall be provided (e.g. a dropper with a
permanently fitted teat).
5.4 Eye protection
#Eye protection shall be provided if needed according to the safety assessment.$
NOTE Eye protection provided with the set is Personal Protective Equipment. It is therefore subject to the
requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on personal protective equipment [15].
