Introduction
This European Standard contains requirements which are intended to reduce the risks to children when
finger paints are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. It
is intended to complete the essential safety requirements of Directive 2009/48/EC by providing special
requirements for finger paints.
It is recognized that finger paints when compared to other toy products present different risks because
of the intended use by fingers or hands and the age of the child. For example, prolonged skin contact or
possible ingestion of paint material cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the safety requirements outlined in
other parts of EN 71 needed to be expanded upon for finger paints. In order to address the risks
associated with the use of finger paints by children, this part of EN 71 contains requirements relating to
preservatives as well as other ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of finger paints and
requirements relating to impurities, migration of certain elements and other attributes.

4 Requirements
NOTE The requirements of this standard apply to finger paints in the form used by the child. In the case of
powdered finger paints (for example to which water might be added before use) the requirements apply to the
finger paint prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4.1 General
Finger paints shall not contain dangerous substances or mixtures in amounts which can harm the health
of children using them.
NOTE 1 For more information, see Directive 1999/45/EC [2] and Regulation No. (EC) 1272/2008 [1].
Finger paints shall not fulfil the criteria of any of the following hazard classes:
— “acute toxicity” (hazard class 3.1),
— “Skin corrosion/irritation” (hazard class 3.2),
— “Serious eye damage/eye irritation” (hazard class 3.3),
— “Respiratory or skin sensitisation” (hazard class 3.4),
— “Germ cell mutagenicity” (hazard class 3.5),
— “Carcinogenicity” (hazard class 3.6),
— “Reproductive toxicity” (hazard class 3.7),
— “Specific target organ toxicity — single exposure” (hazard class 3.8),
— “Specific target organ toxicity — repeated exposure” (hazard class 3.9),
— “Aspiration hazard” (hazard class 3.10).
NOTE 2 The classification is detailed in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [1] (Annex I, Part 3: Health Hazards).
4.2 Colourants
4.2.1 Only colourants and colouring materials which are not fulfilling the hazard criteria in 4.1 shall
be used in finger paints.
NOTE A non-exhaustive list of commonly used colourants, subject to meeting purity requirements, is given in
Annex A consisting of colourants falling in one or more of the following categories: Colourants permitted for use in
food and/or cosmetics and other pigments which meet the general requirements of 4.1.

4.2.2 Finger paints shall not contain azo colourants that by cleavage of one or more azo groups can
produce the primary aromatic amines listed in Tables 1 and 2 when tested in accordance with the test
method specified in Annex D.

accordance with these methods, the maximum concentrations specified in the column ”maximum
allowed concentration” of Table B.1 and the limitations and requirements specified in the column
”Limitations and requirements” of Table B.1 shall be observed.
4.4 Migration of certain elements
When tested in accordance with EN 71-3 the concentration of elements shall not exceed the limit values
