The EN 71-3 standard regulates the migration of certain elements in toys placed on the market in the European Union (EU) after July 20, 2013, in accordance with the provisions of the EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. EN 71-3 was harmonized in the Official Journal of the European Union on June 29, 2013, and establishes the presumption of conformity with the requirements of the EU Toy Safety Directive.
EN 71-3:2013 specifies requirements and test methods for the migration of toxic elements such as aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (V), cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, strontium, tin, organotin compounds and zinc from the materials and component parts of toys. It contains new requirements for migration of certain elements from the following three categories of toy materials:
Category I: dry, brittle, powder-like or pliable materials
Category II: liquid or sticky materials
Category III: scraped-off materials
According to Valerie Lozingo, STC (ShangHai) Company Limited Technical Director and Toys Expert, "Because children under three years of age tend to mouth their toys, it is important to ensure that the migration levels of these materials comply with current regulations to mitigate hazards associated with ingestion. With this accreditation, STC (ShangHai) Company Limited testing experts are able get a set of robust data on the migration of the materials to ensure EN71-3 compliance of their products
