ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of children.
Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children and their
intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended
or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does not
eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of toys. It is assumed that when
choosing a toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and mental development of the
child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks that
are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some toys have risks inherent
in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to reasonably foreseeable
use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as adults.
While this standard applies to new toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear and tear
of toys in use.
The fact that a toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other persons in
charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is also
necessary when children of various ages have access to the same toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to
large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. This results in different requirements and tests
according to the type of toy. For some toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are
met (see Clause 6).
A toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other
features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
standard.

ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
1 Scope
This International Standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function
dependent on electricity.
NOTE 1 Examples of toys also within the scope of this standard are
– constructional sets;
– experimental sets;
– functional toys (models that have a function similar to an appliance or installation used by adults);
– video toys (toys consisting of a screen and activating means, such as a joystick or keyboard. Separate screens
having a rated voltage exceeding 24 V are not considered to be a part of the toy).
Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.
Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 2 A doll's house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy.
Additional requirements for toys incorporating lasers and light-emitting diodes are given in
Annex E.
In order to comply with this standard, electric toys also have to comply with ISO 8124-1, since
it covers hazards other than those arising by the use of electricity.
NOTE 3 Transformers for toys and battery chargers are not considered to be a toy, even if supplied with it.
NOTE 4 If it is intended that a child also plays with the packaging, the latter is considered to be part of the toy.
NOTE 5 This standard does not apply to
– toy steam engines;
– scale models for adult collectors;
– folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles for adult collectors;
– sports equipment;
– aquatic equipment intended to be used in deep water;
– equipment intended to be used collectively in playgrounds;
– amusement machines (IEC 60335-2-82);
– professional toys installed in public places (shopping centres, stations, etc.);
– products containing heating elements intended for use under the supervision of an adult in a teaching context;
– portable child-appealing luminaires (IEC 60598-2-10);
– Christmas decorations.

4 General requirement
Toys shall be constructed so that the risks to persons or surroundings are reduced as far as
possible when the toy is used as intended or in a foreseeable way.
In general, this principle is achieved by fulfilling the relevant requirements specified in this
standard and compliance is checked by carrying out all the relevant tests.
5 General conditions for the tests
Unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out in accordance with this clause.
NOTE Some tests on battery toys can result in rupture or explosion of the batteries. Adequate precautions
should be taken when conducting such tests.

62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004(E) – 11 –
5.1 Tests according to this standard are type tests.
5.2 The tests are carried out on a single sample that shall withstand all the relevant tests.
However, the tests of Clauses 14 to 17 may be made on separate samples. If the toy does
not operate after the tests of Clause 9, the subsequent tests are carried out on a separate
sample.
NOTE 1 Additional samples may be required if the toy is constructed
− for different supply voltages;
− for both a.c. and d.c.;
− for different speeds.
NOTE 2 The testing of components may require the submission of additional samples of these components.
NOTE 3 The cumulative stress resulting from successive tests on electronic circuits is to be avoided. It may be
necessary to replace components or to use additional samples. The number of additional samples should be kept
to a minimum by an evaluation of the relevant electronic circuits.
5.3 The tests are carried out in the order of the clauses.
If it is evident from the construction of the toy that a particular test is not applicable, this test
is not carried out.
5.4 If a toy is intended to be assembled by a child, the requirements apply to each part
accessible to the child and to the assembled toy. If a toy is intended to be assembled by an
adult, the requirements apply to the assembled toy.
5.5 The tests are carried out with the toy or any movable part of it placed in the most
unfavourable position when the toy is used as intended or in any foreseeable way. Battery
compartment covers are opened or removed. Other detachable parts are removed or kept in
position, whichever is more unfavourable.
5.6 Toys provided with controls or switching devices are tested with these controls or
devices adjusted to their most unfavourable setting, if the setting can be altered by the user.
5.7 Detachable cords supplied with the toy are considered to be part of the toy and are
tested with it.
5.8 Battery toys intended for use with a battery box are tested with the battery box
supplied with the toy or with the battery box recommended in the instructions.
Transformer toys are tested with the transformer supplied with the toy. If the toy is supplied
without a transformer, it is tested with a transformer recommended in the instructions.
Dual-supply toys are tested with the most unfavourable supply allowed by the construction,
the type of supply being evaluated for each test.
5.9 Battery toys are tested using new non-rechargeable batteries or fully charged
rechargeable batteries, whichever is more unfavourable.
NOTE 1 In general a fully charged nickel-cadmium battery or a new alkaline battery is considered to be the most
unfavourable battery.
The batteries used are those with the voltage and size specified on the toy or in the
instructions. Similar batteries that are generally available are used if this results in more
unfavourable conditions.
NOTE 2 Lithium batteries are not used unless their use is recommended in the instructions.
NOTE 3 If the toy fails to withstand a test and this could be due to a defective battery, the test is repeated with a
new set of batteries.
– 12 – 62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004(E)
5.10 When alternative accessories are made available by the manufacturer, the toy is tested
with those accessories that give the most unfavourable results.
NOTE 1 Examples of accessories are lamps, motors and rails.
If accessories can be used simultaneously, the combination that gives the most unfavourable
result is used.
NOTE 2 Accessories may be selected from more than one set.
NOTE 3 An accessory may be replaced by a simulated load for the tests.
Toys having lamps used as heating elements that can be removed without the aid of a tool are
tested with lamps of the highest power input that can be fitted, irrespective of any marking.
NOTE 4 The lamps are selected from the types generally available.
5.11 The tests are carried out in a draught-free location at an ambient temperature of
20 °C ± 5 °C.
5.12 Toys having more than one rated voltage are tested at the most unfavourable voltage.
Toys for a.c. only are tested with a.c. at rated frequency if marked, and those for a.c./d.c. are
tested at the most unfavourable frequency. If the frequency is not marked, the toy is tested
with 50 Hz or 60 Hz as appropriate.
5.13 Battery toys are also tested with the polarity reversed unless such connections are
prevented by the construction.
5.14 Batteries are correctly positioned before evaluating the possibility of bridging insulation
and before carrying out the short-circuit tests.
Only one short circuit is applied at a time. Damage caused by a short circuit that does not
impair compliance with this standard is repaired before a further short circuit is applied.
5.15 Before starting the tests, the toy is preconditioned by subjecting it to the tests of the
following subclauses of ISO 8124-1, the batteries being in position:
– 5.12.5 Overload test, for sit-on toys or stand-on toys;
– 5.24.2 Drop test, for toys having a mass less than 4,5 kg, including batteries,
irrespective of the age group;
– 5.24.4 Dynamic strength test, for wheeled ride-on toys;
– 5.24.6.1 Tension test, for all toys;
– 5.24.6.2 Tension test for seams, for toys having textile or other flexible materials
covering batteries or other electrical parts.
NOTE Compliance with ISO 8124-1 is not checked after the preconditioning. However the security of the battery
compartment cover is checked (see 14.6 and 14.7).
6 Criteria for reduced testing
For some toys, it is not necessary to carry out all the tests specified in this standard if the
conditions of 6.1 or 6.2 are met. The exemptions of 6.1 are applicable to all toys, whereas
those of 6.2 are only applicable to battery toys.
6.1 Toys that comply with the tests of Clause 9 with the insulation between parts of different
polarity short-circuited are considered to comply with Clauses 10 to 12, 15 and 18. The short
circuit is applied at all places in turn where the insulation is liable to breakdown and can be
carried out using a flexible wire.

62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004(E) – 13 –
6.2 Battery toys are considered to comply with Clauses 10, 11 (except 11.1), 12, 15 and 17
to 19 if
– the accessible insulation between parts of different polarity cannot be bridged by a
straight steel pin having a diameter of 0,5 mm and any suitable length over 25 mm,
and
– the total battery voltage does not exceed 2,5 V, measured 1 s after a 1 Ω resistor has
been connected between the supply terminals of the toy, with any current limiting device
short-circuited and without the toy being operated.
7 Marking and instructions
7.1 Toys or their packaging shall be marked with
– the name, trade mark or identification mark of the manufacturer or responsible vendor;
– the model or type reference.
When the toy is marked, these markings shall be on the main part. When the packaging is not
marked and when it is not practical to mark the toy, e.g. due to its size, the markings of 7.1.1
to 7.1.3 may be contained in the instructions instead.
NOTE 1 In addition, the marking requirements of ISO 8124-1 may be applicable.
NOTE 2 Additional markings are allowed, provided they do not give rise to misunderstanding.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
7.1.1 Battery toys with replaceable batteries shall be marked with
– the nominal battery voltage, in or on the battery compartment;
– the symbol for d.c., if the toy has a battery box.
If more than one battery is used, the battery compartment shall be marked with the shape of
the batteries in proportional size, together with their nominal voltage and polarity.
Compliance is checked by inspection.

7.5 When markings or instructions are on the packaging, it shall also be stated that the
packaging must be retained since it contains important information.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
7.6 Instructions and other texts required by this standard shall be written in the official
language of the country in which the toy is to be sold.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
7.7 The markings on the toy shall be legible and durable.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by rubbing the marking by hand for 15 s with a
piece of cloth soaked with water and again for 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with
petroleum spirit. When the use of other liquids is recommended, the rubbing test is also
carried out with the cloth soaked with these liquids.
After all the tests of this standard, the marking shall be legible, it shall not be easily possible
to remove marking plates and they shall show no curling.
NOTE 1 In considering the durability of the marking, the effect of normal wear such as frequent cleaning is taken
into account.
NOTE 2 The petroleum spirit to be used for the test is aliphatic solvent hexane having a maximum aromatics
content of 0,1 % by volume, a kauri-butanol value of 29, an initial boiling point of approximately 65 °C, a dry point
of approximately 69 °C and a specific mass of approximately 0,66 kg/l.
8 Power input
The power input of transformer toys shall not exceed the rated power input by more than
20 %.
Compliance is checked by measurement when the power input has stabilized and the toy has
attained normal operating temperature with
– all circuits that can operate simultaneously being in operation;
– the toy being supplied at rated voltage;
– the toy being operated under normal operation.
NOTE The power input has to be measured to determine if the rated power input needs to be marked.
9 Heating and abnormal operation
9.1 Toys shall not attain excessive temperatures in use. They shall be constructed so that
the risk of fire, mechanical damage impairing safety or other hazards, as a result of careless
use or failure of a component, is obviated as far as is practicable.
Toys are subjected to the tests of 9.3 to 9.8 under the conditions specified in 9.2.
All toys are subjected to the tests of 9.3 to 9.5.
Toys incorporating motors are subjected to the test of 9.6.
Transformer toys and toys with battery boxes are subjected to the test of 9.7.
Toys incorporating electronic circuits are subjected to the test of 9.8.

62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004(E) – 17 –
Toys that only incorporate incandescent lamps having a rated power input not exceeding 1 W
are not subjected to the tests.
Unless otherwise specified, compliance with the tests of this clause is checked as described
in 9.9.
The tests of 9.3 and 9.4 are continued until steady conditions are established. During these
tests, thermal cut-outs shall not operate.
The tests of 9.5 to 9.8 are continued until a non-self-resetting thermal cut-out operates or
until steady conditions are established. If a heating element or an intentionally weak part
becomes permanently open-circuited, the relevant test is repeated on a second sample. This
second test shall be terminated in the same mode unless the test is otherwise satisfactorily
completed.
NOTE 1 An intentionally weak part is a part intended to rupture in order to prevent the occurrence of a condition
that would impair compliance with this standard. Such a part may be a replaceable component, such as a resistor
or a capacitor or a part of a component to be replaced, such as an inaccessible thermal link incorporated in a
motor.
NOTE 2 Fuses, thermal cut-outs, overcurrent protection devices or similar devices incorporated in the toy may
be used to provide the necessary protection.
NOTE 3 If more than one of the tests are applicable to the same toy, these tests are made consecutively after the
toy has cooled down to room temperature.
9.2 Toys are placed in the most unfavourable position that can occur during play.
Hand-held toys are freely suspended.
Other toys are placed on the floor of a test corner as near to the walls as possible or away
from the walls, whichever is more unfavourable. The test corner consists of two walls at right
angles and a floor made of dull black-painted plywood having a thickness of approximately
20 mm. They are covered with four layers of bleached cotton gauze having dimensions of
2 2
500 mm x 500 mm and a specific mass of 40 g/m ± 8 g/m . The gauze is placed on surfaces
where high temperatures and charring may be expected. Toys having dimensions not
exceeding 500 mm are completely covered with the cotton gauze.
Battery toys are supplied at rated voltage.
Transformer toys are supplied at 0,94 times or 1,06 times rated voltage, whichever is more
unfavourable.
The temperature rises are determined by means of fine-wire thermocouples positioned so that
they have minimum effect on the temperature of the part under test.
NOTE Thermocouples having wires with a diameter not exceeding 0,3 mm are considered to be fine-wire
thermocouples.
9.3 Toys are operated under normal operation and the temperature rises of the various
parts are determined.
9.4 The test of 9.3 is repeated, the insulation between parts of different polarity being short-
circuited in turn if it is accessible after the removal of detachable parts, except lamps.
However, the short circuit is only applied if it is possible to bridge the insulation by a straight
steel pin having a diameter of 0,5 mm and any suitable length over 25 mm, or by a rod having
a diameter of 1,0 mm inserted through holes in the enclosure up to a depth of 100 mm. The
pin is applied only with sufficient force to hold it in position.

– 18 – 62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004(E)
9.5 The test of 9.3 is repeated, any control that limits the temperature during the tests of 9.3
and 9.4 being short-circuited. If the toy has more than one control, they are short-circuited in
turn.
9.6 The test of 9.3 is repeated with accessible moving parts locked.
NOTE If the toy incorporates more than one motor, the test is carried out by locking moving parts driven by each
motor in turn.
The test is terminated after 30 s if the toy has to be kept switched on by hand or foot.
9.7 Transformer toys and toys with battery boxes are connected to a power supply in
addition to that recommended in the instructions for use. The additional power supply is
identical to that recommended for the toy and is connected in series or in parallel, whichever
is more unfavourable. The toy is then tested as specified in 9.3 and 9.4.
NOTE The test is only applicable if the connections can be made easily without the aid of a tool and by using
parts from two identical toys or constructional sets
9.8 Compliance for electronic circuits is checked by evaluation of the fault conditions
specified in 9.8.2 for all circuits or parts of circuits, unless they comply with the conditions
specified in 9

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente Norme internationale que l'exécution de ses dis-
positions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification appropriée.
En règle générale, les jouets sont conçus et fabriqués pour certaines catégories d'enfants.
Leurs caractéristiques sont fonction de l'âge et du stade de développement des enfants et
l'utilisation pour laquelle ils sont prévus présuppose certaines capacités.
Les accidents sont fréquemment dus à un jouet qui est soit donné à un enfant auquel il n'est
pas destiné, soit utilisé à des fins autres que celles pour lesquelles il a été conçu. La
présente norme ne se substitue pas à la responsabilité parentale quant au choix approprié
des jouets. Il est présumé que lors du choix d'un jouet ou d'un jeu, il est tenu compte du stade
de développement physique et mental de l'enfant qui jouera avec.
Le but de la présente norme est de réduire les risques lors du jeu avec des jouets et plus
particulièrement les risques qui ne sont pas évidents pour l'utilisateur. Toutefois il doit être
admis que certains jouets présentent des risques inhérents à leur utilisation qui ne peuvent
être évités. Il a été tenu compte des utilisations raisonnablement prévisibles, en ayant présent
à l'esprit que les enfants ne sont pas en général aussi prudents que des adultes.
Bien que cette norme s'applique aux jouets neufs, elle tient néanmoins compte de l'usure et
des dégradations dues à l'utilisation des jouets.
Le fait qu'un jouet satisfasse à la présente norme ne dégage pas les parents et autres
personnes ayant un enfant en charge de leur responsabilité de surveillance vis à vis de
l'enfant. Une surveillance est aussi nécessaire lorsque des enfants d'âge varié manipulent le
même jouet.
Cette norme s'applique à l'ensemble des jouets électriques, des petites sources de lumière
alimentées par une pile bouton aux grandes voitures électriques dans lesquelles l'enfant peut
s'asseoir, alimentées par des accumulateurs au plomb. Cela conduit à des exigences et à des
essais différents suivant le type de jouet. Pour certains jouets, les essais peuvent être réduits
si des critères particuliers sont satisfaits (voir l'Article 6).
Un jouet conforme au texte de la présente norme ne sera pas nécessairement jugé conforme
aux principes de sécurité de la norme si, lorsqu'il est examiné et soumis aux essais, il
apparaît qu'il présente d'autres caractéristiques qui compromettent le niveau de sécurité visé
par ces exigences.
Un jouet utilisant des matériaux ou présentant des modes de construction différents de ceux
décrits dans les exigences de cette norme peut être examiné et essayé en fonction de
l'objectif poursuivi par ces exigences et, s'il est jugé pratiquement équivalent, il peut être
estimé conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme.

62115  IEC:2005 – 9 –
INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of children.
Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children and their
intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended
or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does not
eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of toys. It is assumed that when
choosing a toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and mental development of the
child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks that
are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some toys have risks inherent
in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to reasonably foreseeable
use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as adults.
While this standard applies to new toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear and tear
of toys in use.
The fact that a toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other persons in
charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is also
necessary when children of various ages have access to the same toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to
large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. This results in different requirements and tests
according to the type of toy. For some toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are
met (see Clause 6).
A toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other
features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
standard.

1 Scope
This International Standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function
dependent on electricity.
NOTE 1 Examples of toys also within the scope of this standard are
– constructional sets;
– experimental sets;
– functional toys (models that have a function similar to an appliance or installation used by adults);
– video toys (toys consisting of a screen and activating means, such as a joystick or keyboard. Separate screens
having a rated voltage exceeding 24 V are not considered to be a part of the toy).
Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.
Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 2 A doll's house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy.
In order to comply with this standard, electric toys also have to comply with ISO 8124-1, since
it covers hazards other than those arising by the use of electricity.
NOTE 3 Transformers for toys and battery chargers are not considered to be a toy, even if supplied with it.
NOTE 4 If it is intended that a child also plays with the packaging, the latter is considered to be part of the toy.
NOTE 5 This standard does not apply to
– toy steam engines;
– scale models for adult collectors;
– folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles for adult collectors;
– sports equipment;
– aquatic equipment intended to be used in deep water;
– equipment intended to be used collectively in playgrounds;
– amusement machines (IEC 60335-2-82);

SÉCURITÉ
AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (CEI) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de la CEI). La CEI a
pour objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les
domaines de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, la CEI – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de la CEI"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec la CEI, participent
également aux travaux. La CEI collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de la CEI concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de la CEI
intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de la CEI se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de la CEI. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que la CEI
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; la CEI ne peut pas être tenue responsable
de l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de la CEI s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de la CEI dans leurs publications
nationales et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de la CEI et toutes publications
nationales ou régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) La CEI n’a prévu aucune procédure de marquage valant indication d’approbation et n'engage pas sa
responsabilité pour les équipements déclarés conformes à une de ses Publications.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à la CEI, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou
mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités
nationaux de la CEI, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre
dommage de quelque nature que ce soit, directe ou indirecte, ou pour supporter les coûts (y compris les frais
de justice) et les dépenses découlant de la publication ou de l'utilisation de cette Publication de la CEI ou de
toute autre Publication de la CEI, ou au crédit qui lui est accordé.
8) L'attention est attirée sur les références normatives citées dans cette publication. L'utilisation de publications
référencées est obligatoire pour une application correcte de la présente publication.
9) L’attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments de la présente Publication de la CEI peuvent faire
l’objet de droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. La CEI ne saurait être tenue pour
responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et de ne pas avoir signalé leur existence.
La Norme internationale CEI 62115 a été établie par le comité technique 61 de la CEI:
Sécurité des appareils électrodomestiques et analogues.
La présente version consolidée de la CEI 62115 comprend la première édition (2003)
[documents 61/2263/FDIS et 61/2323/RVD] et son amendement 1 (2004) [documents
61/2711/FDIS et 61/2738/RVD].
Le contenu technique de cette version consolidée est donc identique à celui de l'édition de
base et à son amendement; cette version a été préparée par commodité pour l'utilisateur.
Elle porte le numéro d'édition 1.1.
Une ligne verticale dans la marge indique où la publication de base a été modifiée par
l'amendement 1.
La version française de cette norme n’a pas été soumise au vote.

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

INTRODUCTION
Il a été considéré en établissant la présente Norme internationale que l'exécution de ses dis-
positions était confiée à des personnes expérimentées et ayant une qualification appropriée.
En règle générale, les jouets sont conçus et fabriqués pour certaines catégories d'enfants.
Leurs caractéristiques sont fonction de l'âge et du stade de développement des enfants et
l'utilisation pour laquelle ils sont prévus présuppose certaines capacités.
Les accidents sont fréquemment dus à un jouet qui est soit donné à un enfant auquel il n'est
pas destiné, soit utilisé à des fins autres que celles pour lesquelles il a été conçu. La
présente norme ne se substitue pas à la responsabilité parentale quant au choix approprié
des jouets. Il est présumé que lors du choix d'un jouet ou d'un jeu, il est tenu compte du stade
de développement physique et mental de l'enfant qui jouera avec.
Le but de la présente norme est de réduire les risques lors du jeu avec des jouets et plus
particulièrement les risques qui ne sont pas évidents pour l'utilisateur. Toutefois il doit être
admis que certains jouets présentent des risques inhérents à leur utilisation qui ne peuvent
être évités. Il a été tenu compte des utilisations raisonnablement prévisibles, en ayant présent
à l'esprit que les enfants ne sont pas en général aussi prudents que des adultes.
Bien que cette norme s'applique aux jouets neufs, elle tient néanmoins compte de l'usure et
des dégradations dues à l'utilisation des jouets.
Le fait qu'un jouet satisfasse à la présente norme ne dégage pas les parents et autres
personnes ayant un enfant en charge de leur responsabilité de surveillance vis à vis de
l'enfant. Une surveillance est aussi nécessaire lorsque des enfants d'âge varié manipulent le
même jouet.
Cette norme s'applique à l'ensemble des jouets électriques, des petites sources de lumière
alimentées par une pile bouton aux grandes voitures électriques dans lesquelles l'enfant peut
s'asseoir, alimentées par des accumulateurs au plomb. Cela conduit à des exigences et à des
essais différents suivant le type de jouet. Pour certains jouets, les essais peuvent être réduits
si des critères particuliers sont satisfaits (voir l'Article 6).
Un jouet conforme au texte de la présente norme ne sera pas nécessairement jugé conforme
aux principes de sécurité de la norme si, lorsqu'il est examiné et soumis aux essais, il
apparaît qu'il présente d'autres caractéristiques qui compromettent le niveau de sécurité visé
par ces exigences.
Un jouet utilisant des matériaux ou présentant des modes de construction différents de ceux
décrits dans les exigences de cette norme peut être examiné et essayé en fonction de
l'objectif poursuivi par ces exigences et, s'il est jugé pratiquement équivalent, il peut être
estimé conforme aux principes de sécurité de la norme.

62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004 – 9 –
INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of children.
Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children and their
intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended
or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does not
eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of toys. It is assumed that when
choosing a toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and mental development of the
child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks that
are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some toys have risks inherent
in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to reasonably foreseeable
use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as adults.
While this standard applies to new toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear and tear
of toys in use.
The fact that a toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other persons in
charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is also
necessary when children of various ages have access to the same toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to
large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. This results in different requirements and tests
according to the type of toy. For some toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are
met (see Clause 6).
A toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other
features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
standard.

ELECTRIC TOYS – SAFETY
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
As a general rule, toys are designed and manufactured for particular categories of children.
Their characteristics are related to the age and stage of development of the children and their
intended use presupposes certain capabilities.
Accidents are frequently due to a toy either being given to a child for whom it is not intended
or being used for a purpose other than for which it was designed. This standard does not
eliminate parental responsibility for the appropriate selection of toys. It is assumed that when
choosing a toy or a game, account is taken of the physical and mental development of the
child who will be playing with it.
The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks that
are not evident to users. However, it has to be recognized that some toys have risks inherent
in their use that cannot be avoided. Consideration has been given to reasonably foreseeable
use, bearing in mind that children are not generally as careful as adults.
While this standard applies to new toys, it nevertheless takes into account the wear and tear
of toys in use.
The fact that a toy complies with this standard does not absolve parents and other persons in
charge of a child from the responsibility of supervising the child. Supervision is also
necessary when children of various ages have access to the same toy.
This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to
large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. This results in different requirements and tests
according to the type of toy. For some toys, testing can be reduced if particular criteria are
met (see Clause 6).
A toy that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be judged to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other
features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
A toy employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
standard.

4 General requirement
Toys shall be constructed so that the risks to persons or surroundings are reduced as far as
possible when the toy is used as intended or in a foreseeable way.
In general, this principle is achieved by fulfilling the relevant requirements specified in this
standard and compliance is checked by carrying out all the relevant tests.
5 General conditions for the tests
Unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out in accordance with this clause.
NOTE Some tests on battery toys can result in rupture or explosion of the batteries. Adequate precautions
should be taken when conducting such tests.
5.1 Tests according to this standard are type tests.
5.2 The tests are carried out on a single sample that shall withstand all the relevant tests.
However, the tests of Clauses 14 to 17 may be made on separate samples. If the toy does
not operate after the tests of Clause 9, the subsequent tests are carried out on a separate
sample.
NOTE 1 Additional samples may be required if the toy is constructed
− for different supply voltages;
− for both a.c. and d.c.;
− for different speeds.
NOTE 2 The testing of components may require the submission of additional samples of these components.

– 12 – 62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004+A2:2010
NOTE 3 The cumulative stress resulting from successive tests on electronic circuits is to be avoided. It may be
necessary to replace components or to use additional samples. The number of additional samples should be kept
to a minimum by an evaluation of the relevant electronic circuits.
5.3 The tests are carried out in the order of the clauses.
If it is evident from the construction of the toy that a particular test is not applicable, this test
is not carried out.
5.4 If a toy is intended to be assembled by a child, the requirements apply to each part
accessible to the child and to the assembled toy. If a toy is intended to be assembled by an
adult, the requirements apply to the assembled toy.
5.5 The tests are carried out with the toy or any movable part of it placed in the most
unfavourable position when the toy is used as intended or in any foreseeable way. Battery
compartment covers are opened or removed. Other detachable parts are removed or kept in
position, whichever is more unfavourable.
5.6 Toys provided with controls or switching devices are tested with these controls or
devices adjusted to their most unfavourable setting, if the setting can be altered by the user.
5.7 Detachable cords supplied with the toy are considered to be part of the toy and are
tested with it.
5.8 Battery toys intended for use with a battery box are tested with the battery box
supplied with the toy or with the battery box recommended in the instructions.
Transformer toys are tested with the transformer supplied with the toy. If the toy is supplied
without a transformer, it is tested with a transformer recommended in the instructions.
Dual-supply toys are tested with the most unfavourable supply allowed by the construction,
the type of supply being evaluated for each test.
Rechargeable battery toys that can be operated during charging are tested as dual supply
toys because the battery charger is operating as a transformer.
5.9 Battery toys are tested using new non-rechargeable batteries or fully charged
rechargeable batteries, whichever is more unfavourable.
NOTE 1 In general a fully charged rechargeable battery or a new alkaline battery is considered to be the most
unfavourable battery. However, for each test, the battery with the highest current, voltage or capacity that creates
the most onerous condition is considered to be the most unfavourable battery.
The batteries used are those with the voltage and size specified on the toy or in the
instructions. Similar batteries that are generally available are used if this results in more
unfavourable conditions.
NOTE 2 Lithium batteries are not used unless their use is recommended in the instructions.
NOTE 3 If the toy fails to withstand a test and this could be due to a defective battery, the test is repeated with a
new set of batteries.
5.10 When alternative accessories are made available by the manufacturer, the toy is tested
with those accessories that give the most unfavourable results.
NOTE 1 Examples of accessories are lamps, motors and rails.
If accessories can be used simultaneously, the combination that gives the most unfavourable
result is used.
NOTE 2 Accessories may be selected from more than one set.
NOTE 3 An accessory may be replaced by a simulated load for the tests.

62115  IEC:2003+A1:2004+A2:2010 – 13 –
Toys having lamps used as heating elements that can be removed without the aid of a tool are
tested with lamps of the highest power input that can be fitted, irrespective of any marking.
NOTE 4 The lamps are selected from the types generally available.
5.11 The tests are carried out in a draught-free location at an ambient temperature of
20 °C ± 5 °C.
5.12 Toys having more than one rated voltage are tested at the most unfavourable voltage.
Toys for a.c. only are tested with a.c. at rated frequency if marked, and those for a.c./d.c. are
tested at the most unfavourable frequency. If the frequency is not marked, the toy is tested
with 50 Hz or 60 Hz as appropriate.
5.13 Battery toys are also tested with the polarity reversed unless such connections are
prevented by the construction.
5.14 Batteries are correctly positioned before evaluating the possibility of bridging insulation
and before carrying out the short-circuit tests.
Only one short circuit is applied at a time. Damage caused by a short circuit that does not
impair compliance with this standard is repaired before a further short circuit is applied.
5.15 Before starting the tests, the toy is preconditioned by subjecting it to the tests of the
following subclauses of ISO 8124-1, the batteries being in position:
– 5.12.5 Overload test, for sit-on toys or stand-on toys;
– 5.24.2 Drop test, for toys having a mass less than 4,5 kg, including batteries,
irrespective of the age group;
– 5.24.4 Dynamic strength test, for wheeled ride-on toys;
– 5.24.6.1 Tension test, for all toys;
– 5.24.6.2 Tension test for seams, for toys having textile or other flexible materials
covering batteries or other electrical parts.
NOTE Compliance with ISO 8124-1 is not checked after the preconditioning. However the security of the battery
compartment cover is checked (see 14.6 and 14.7).
6 Criteria for reduced testing
For some toys, it is not necessary to carry out all the tests specified in this standard if the
conditions of 6.1 or 6.2 are met. The exemptions of 6.1 are applicable to all toys, whereas
those of 6.2 are only applicable to battery toys.
6.1 Toys that comply with the tests of Clause 9 with the insulation between parts of different
polarity short-circuited are considered to comply with Clauses 10 to 12, 15 and 18. The short
circuit is applied at all places in turn where the insulation is liable to breakdown and can be
carried out using a flexible wire.
6.2 Battery toys are considered to comply with Clauses 10, 11 (except 11.1), 12, 15, 17
(except 17.1 for battery compartments intended to contain button cell batteries), 18 and 19 if
– the accessible insulation between parts of different polarity, except those in battery
compartments, cannot be bridged by a straight steel pin having a diameter of 0,5 mm and
any suitable length over 25 mm,
and
– the total battery voltage does not exceed 2,5 V, measured 1 s after a 1 Ω resistor has
been connected between the supply terminals of the toy, with any current limiting device
short-circuited and without the toy being operated.
