Safety of toys - Part 3: Migration of certain elements
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 71-3 standard is concerned with the security of toys, specifically the migration of certain substances from toys and toys' components. It details the specifications and testing procedures for the migration of numerous elements, including zinc, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, and strontium.
The specification divides toy materials into three groups: Materials falling under categories I, II, and III include liquid or sticky materials, brittle, crumbly, pliable, dry, and scraped-off materials.
It is important to remember that unless they are meant for play, packing components are not taken into consideration as being a part of the toy. Toys or parts of toys that, when used as intended or in a foreseeable fashion, taking into consideration children's behavior, do not cause any foreseeable hazards due to their accessibility, function, volume, or mass are exempt from the requirements of this standard.
