Introduction
This European Standard is intended to reduce the risks which may present health hazards to a child
when the chemical toys are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of
children.
When using these chemical toys, potential risks should be kept to a minimum by inclusion of
appropriate information to give special attention to possible hazards, risks and other problems.
Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS) and European Inventory of Existing Chemical
Substances Number (EINECS) given in various tables are provided for information purposes only.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the substances and materials used
in chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets. These substances and mixtures are:
— those classified as dangerous by the EU-legislation applying to dangerous substances and
dangerous mixtures [5];
— substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children using
them and which are not classified as dangerous by the above mentioned legislation; and
— any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the chemical toy.
NOTE The terms “substance” and “mixture” are defined in the REACH regulation No. (EC)1907/2006 and in
the CLP regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Additionally, requirements are specified for markings, warnings, safety rules, contents list, instructions
for use and first aid information.
This Part of EN 71 applies to:
— plaster of Paris (gypsum) moulding sets;
— oven-hardening plasticised PVC modelling clay sets;
— polystyrene granules sets;
— embedding sets;
— adhesives, paints, lacquers, varnishes, thinners and cleaning agents (solvents), supplied or
recommended in model sets.
