In order to ensure the safety of products, different regions have formulated safety standards in order to implement strict testing and production process control at different stages of product production. Among them, the European standard should be considered as a relatively wide range of applications. Any product that goes to Europe will inevitably go through the rigorous testing of EN71 standard, and toys are no exception. The most commonly used ones are Torque&Tension, DropTest, ImpactTest, and compressionTest.
Toys are designed for children under the age of 14 or products for their play. Due to defects in the design of certain toys, the use of materials containing toxic substances and other unsafe factors, many countries in the world have successively formulated corresponding toy safety standards. Toys are subject to inspection and conform to the standard, the product is marked with a mark, otherwise it is not allowed to produce, sell and import.
