Overview
The SIST EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022/oprA2:2024 standard, developed by CEN, focuses on the safety of toys, specifically addressing olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, and gustative games. This standard outlines essential safety requirements concerning the use of chemical substances and mixtures in these types of toys. It targets substances that are hazardous according to EC legislation, those that may harm children in excessive amounts even if not classified as hazardous, and any other chemical substances delivered with these toy sets.
The objective is to protect children from potential health risks related to the exposure of allergens, hazardous chemicals, and flammable liquids during play. The standard also mandates appropriate marking, labeling, and instructions for use to ensure consumer awareness and safe handling.
Key benefits of compliance include enhanced child safety, avoidance of hazardous exposure, and alignment with European toy safety regulations.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
EN 71-13 applies to olfactory board games, cosmetic kits, gustative games, and supplementary sets-not including cosmetic toys like play cosmetics for dolls. It regulates chemical safety, focusing on substances classified hazardous or potentially harmful to children’s health.Chemical Safety Requirements
- Limits on the type, concentration, and quantity of hazardous substances and mixtures.
- Evaluation of possible reactions between fragrances and other components to prevent harmful products formation.
- Prohibition of certain allergenic fragrances to minimize allergic reactions in children.
Marking and Warnings
- Toys must be marked with age limits (minimum age of 3 or 8 years depending on product type).
- Clear warnings such as “Keep the game/kit out of reach of children under (*) years old” to ensure safe use.
- Chemical content lists must be included, promoting transparency for consumers and regulators.
Packaging and Equipment Requirements
- Child-resistant containers required for hazardous substances as per EC legislation, with stringent testing to ensure closures remain secure and prevent accidental access.
- Guidance on eye protection and safe handling equipment during play activities involving chemical substances.
- Restrictions on maximum quantities of flammable liquids and specifications for safe heating in gustative games.
Instructions for Use and Shelf Life
- Detailed instructions must be provided, including safety precautions and indication of shelf life for products resulting from game activities.
Testing Methods
The standard introduces specific test methods for closures of containers to verify child resistance and safety compliance.
Applications
