BS EN 71-5:2015 PDF Download

A European standard called BS EN 71-5:2015 focuses on the security of chemical toys (sets) other than laboratory sets. It details the specifications and testing procedures for the components and materials utilized in these toys. This includes any other chemical substances and mixtures that are included with the toy, as well as substances that are deemed harmful by EU law, substances that can impair children's health when used excessively but are not deemed dangerous, and so on.

The standard outlines standards for labels, warnings, safety guidelines, a list of the ingredients, usage directions, and first aid information, in addition to requirements for substances. This guarantees that the toy is properly labeled and that users are informed of any potential risks or safety measures.

The standard is applicable to many different kinds of chemical toys, such as plaster of Paris (gypsum) molding sets, oven-hardening plasticized PVC modeling clay sets, polystyrene granule sets, embedding sets, and adhesives, paints, lacquers, varnishes, thinners, and cleaning agents (solvents) that are included in or suggested in model sets.
