EN 71-1 Mechanical and Physical Properties

What is the EN71-1 Toy Test? Overview of EN71-1

EN71-1, the mechanical and physical properties test, mainly includes tests for sharp points, sharp edges, tensile strength, pressure resistance, and more.

Detailed Analysis

This section specifies the safety technical requirements for the mechanical and physical properties of toys for different age groups, from newborns and infants to children up to 14 years old. It also outlines requirements for packaging, labeling, and instructions for use.

Toys must not present hazards that could potentially harm children’s lives and health during testing, such as collapse, swallowing hazards, sharp edges, noise, sharp points, or other dangerous factors.

Specific physical and mechanical performance tests include: sharp point test, sharp edge test, small part test, pressure test, bending test, impact test, seam tensile test, tensile test, torque test, noise level test, dynamic strength, packaging film thickness test, projectile toys, hair attachment test, and more.
