BS EN 71-9:2005+A1:2007 PDF Download

The BS EN 71 safety standards series, which is concerned with ensuring the safety of toys, includes BS EN 71-9:2005+A1:2007. The standards for the movement or composition of specified hazardous organic chemical compounds present in specific toys and toy materials are addressed specifically in this standard. It takes into account the intended use of the toy and typical child behavior while taking into account the exposure routes of mouthing, ingestion, skin contact, eye contact, and inhalation.

It should be noted that other sections of the BS EN 71 standard address chemical toys, experimental sets, and finger paints; hence, BS EN 71-9 does not address these products. This indicates that only organic chemical compounds found in toys and play materials are the focus of this standard, which excludes other sorts of toys.

Additionally, unless they are an integral element of the toy or have intended play value, packaging materials used with toys are not covered by this standard. This makes it easier to maintain the attention on the toy's safety rather than its packaging.

It is crucial to consult BS EN 71-10, which offers details on sample preparation and extraction techniques, and BS EN 71-11, which outlines methods of analysis, in order to completely comprehend the requirements and guidelines described in this standard. These extra components of the standard take into account the toxicological effects and potential exposure of compounds that are thought to represent the greatest danger to health.
