EN 71 Toy Safety Testing for Global Markets — EU, UK & Beyond
Exporting toys to Europe and the UK? EN 71 Parts 1–3 (and beyond) are the baseline — separate from BIS IS 9873 for India domestic compliance.
EN 71 Toy Safety Testing for Global Markets — EU, UK & Beyond
EN 71 is the European harmonised toy safety standard family referenced under the EU Toy Safety Directive. Exporters often need EN 71 test reports + Declaration of Conformity even when they already hold BIS toy certification for India.
Key EN 71 parts
| Part | Focus |
|---|---|
| EN 71-1 | Mechanical & physical (small parts, sharp edges, cords) |
| EN 71-2 | Flammability |
| EN 71-3 | Migration of 19 elements (paint, coatings, polymers) |
| EN 71-4+ | Chemical toys, activity sets, trampolines (as applicable) |
UKCA / CE marking routes still expect EN 71 evidence for Great Britain and EU destinations respectively (confirm current UK/EU transitional rules for your SKU).
