EU Toy EN71 Safety Test Project

Toy testing is a regulation issued mainly for toy products. In the European market, it is mainly based on EN71 standard to carry out testing in strict accordance with EN71 standard. HUAWIN testing is mainly to provide toy testing services for enterprises and help enterprises distribute toys to the international market.

EN71 is the standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most concerned and loved group in the whole society. The toy market that children generally love has developed rapidly. At the same time, various kinds of toys have caused injuries to children due to various quality problems. Therefore, the requirements of countries around the world for toys in their own markets are becoming increasingly strict. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and the production companies must ensure that their products meet relevant standards before being sold in the region. The manufacturer must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design or improper use of materials. Therefore, the Toy EN71 Certification Act was introduced in Europe, which means to regulate the toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, so as to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children.
