EN71 is the regulatory standard for toy products in the EU market. Children are the most concerned and cherished group in society, and the toy market that children generally love is developing rapidly. At the same time, various types of toys often cause harm to children due to quality issues. Therefore, countries around the world are becoming increasingly strict in their requirements for toys in their own markets.
Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these products, and production companies must ensure that their products comply with relevant standards before being sold in the region. Manufacturers must be responsible for accidents caused by production defects, poor design, or the use of inappropriate materials. As a result, the toy EN71 certification law was introduced in Europe, which aims to provide technical specifications for toy products entering the European market through the EN71 standard, in order to reduce or avoid harm to children caused by toys.
