Overview

SIST EN IEC 62115:2020/oprAB:2026 - Electric toys - Safety is a European standard established by CLC/TC 61, focusing on the safety requirements for electric toys. These are defined as any products designed or intended, wholly or partly, for use in play by children under the age of 14 and featuring at least one electrical function. This draft amendment brings the existing EN IEC 62115:2020 standard up to date by aligning references, harmonizing terms, and clarifying requirements in response to evolving toy technologies and regulatory frameworks-especially regarding the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Definitions
    The standard applies to electric toys, covering a diverse range of play products powered by batteries, USB, or other electrical means, ensuring their use is safe for children under 14 years old.

  • Reference Updates
    Important normative references are updated (e.g., battery, charger, transformer, and safety-related component standards) to the most current versions, supporting harmonized and reliable compliance.

  • Markings and Instructions
    The standard emphasizes up-to-date legal and safety markings, clarifying that guidance follows Directive 2009/48/EC and associated EU documentation. Requirements for marking batteries, transformers, and bulbs are enhanced to prevent misuse.

  • Construction and Mechanical Strength
    Construction aspects, particularly for battery accessibility, are strengthened. The amendment mandates that batteries typically require a deliberate action for access, reducing accidental exposure.

  • Testing and Test Conditions
    Test procedures are specified and modernized. This includes updated guidance for products using USB connectors (including USB-C), reflecting variable supply voltages and ensuring electric toys are tested at voltages relevant to their operating conditions.

  • Component Safety
    The amendment includes new criteria to prevent children’s access to hazardous small batteries and clarifies packaging requirements for spare batteries to limit risk.

  • Legislative Alignment
    Harmonization with the latest EU directives and regulations (such as Directive 2009/48/EC - Safety of Toys) is maintained, ensuring manufacturers can achieve a presumption of conformity with essential safety requirements.

Applications

The practical value of SIST EN IEC 62115:2020/oprAB:2026 is significant for:

  • Manufacturers and Importers: Ensuring electric toy products meet the latest European safety requirements before going to market, helping to minimize recalls and liability.
  • Testing Laboratories: Applying the most up-to-date normative references and test methods for product certification, especially for battery systems, chargers, and electronic controls.
  • Regulators and Market Surveillance Authorities: Verifying compliance with the harmonized safety requirements for electric toys distributed in the European market.
  • Design Engineers: Developing innovative electric toys while adhering to new technical specifications for construction, markings, and component accessibility, particularly for new battery chemistries and charging methods.
  • Retailers: Verifying suppliers’ compliance to minimize market risk and ensure consumer trust in electric toys for young users.
