4 Requirements
4.1 General
With the exceptions of requirements relating to emissions of formamide, the parts of the product which
shall comply with this document are defined in the relevant product safety standards.
When these parts of the product are not defined in the relevant product safety standards, the parts of the
products which shall comply shall be defined using the exposure principles described in this document,
based on their accessibility, function, volume or mass, and reasonable exposure due to sucking, licking,
swallowing, inhalation, or prolonged contact with skin.
For the purpose of this document “prolonged contact with skin” means continuous contact of more than
10 min duration or intermittent contact over a period of 30 min, per day.
NOTE The above definition of prolonged contact with skin has been taken from the REACH restriction on
phthalates (Regulation (EU) 2018/2005).
NOTE 2 A list of relevant EU legislation can be found in the Bibliography.
4.2 Migration of certain elements (see A.3)
The migration of elements from any parts which, due to their accessibility, function, volume or mass, can
reasonably lead to an exposure due to sucking, licking, swallowing, or prolonged contact with skin shall
not exceed any of the limits given in Table 1.
When testing is performed the method described in EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021 shall be used.

4.3 Flame retardants (see A.4)
Materials made of plastics, foams, textiles and wood shall not contain any of the substances listed in
Table 2 in concentrations exceeding the limits stated.
When testing is performed, methods shall be used with a suitable limit of quantitation (LOQ) allowing to
verify the indicated limits.

NOTE Limits are taken from Directive 2009/48/EC, Annex II, appendix C.
4.4 Aniline (see A.5)
Aniline shall not exceed the limit of 30 mg/kg after reductive cleavage from parts made of textiles and
leather which, due to their accessibility, function, volume or mass, can reasonably lead to an exposure
due to sucking, licking, swallowing, or prolonged contact with skin.
When testing is performed, the method of EN ISO 14362-1:2017 and EN ISO 17234-1:2020, adapted as
appropriate to measure aniline, shall be used.
NOTE Limit is taken from Directive 2009/48/EC, Annex II, appendix C.
4.5 Allergenic fragrances (see A.6)
Any intentionally scented part or material shall not contain any of the allergenic fragrances as listed in
Table 3. However, the presence of traces of these fragrances shall be allowed, provided that such presence
is technically unavoidable under good manufacturing practice and does not exceed 100 mg/kg.
In addition, the names of the allergenic fragrances in Table 4 shall be listed on the article, on an affixed
label, on the packaging or in an accompanying leaflet, if intentionally added to any scented part or
material at concentrations exceeding 100 mg/kg.
In addition, intentionally scented products shall be labelled with the words “contains fragrance”.
