It is intended to eliminate toys that expose a child to danger of fire. This Part should be r
22、ead in conjunction with Part 1. During the preparation of this standard toys have been considered on a general basis, and it has been decided to treat the products defined in the scope. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
23、Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s). This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 1994, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
24、 the latest by April 1994. The standard was accepted and in accordance with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spa

Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties; Pa
26、rt 2: Flammability; Part 3: Migration of certain elements; Part 4: Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities; Part 5: Chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets. This standard is Part 2 of the European Standard for safety of toys, EN 71. There is very little data concerning the h
27、azards associated with the flammability of toys. There is a lot of concern over perceived risks but little in the way of hard facts. Over 80 % of deaths of children arising from fires are due to asphyxiation from fumes. The standard was never intended to address this aspect as it deals strictly with
28、 the flammability of materials. In any case, the percentage of combustible materials in the childs environment derived from toys is insignificant compared with other household material such as furniture, curtains, beds, etc. The standard has been devised to address certain hazards. Virtually all mat
29、erials burn if exposed for long enough to the right ignition source. It has therefore been decided to address toy items that: a) are clothes worn by the child (disguise costumes) especially where capes, flowing dresses and similar articles are included; b) a child could enter such as play tents and
30、wendy houses; c) a child cuddles (filled soft toys); d) are worn but take the form of masks and wigs, etc. The hazards to be addressed in these cases arise because of the intimate contact between the child and the product. If ignited the materials should burn with a rate of spread of flame which all
31、ows the child to remove or drop or get out of the product before serious injury occurs. 1 Scope This Part of this European Standard specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys and requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are submitted to a s
32、mall source of ignition. The test methods described in clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained cannot be considered as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toy
33、s or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition. This Part includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and methods of test relating to the following toys which are considered as being those presenting the greatest hazard: beards, moustaches, wigs, masks an
34、d other products worn on the head with pile, hair or other attached material; disguise costumes (e.g. cowboy outfits, nurses uniforms) and toys intended to be worn by a child (excluding products covered by 4.2 and paper novelty hats, e.g. those supplied in crackers); toys intended to be entered by a
35、 child (e.g. toy tents, puppet theatres, wigwams); filled soft toys with a pile surface or textile surface but excluding soft bodied dolls with heads and limbs made entirely from non-textile polymeric material. NOTEAdditional requirements for flammability of electrical toys are in EN 50088 Safety of
36、 electrical toys (in preparation). 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references,
37、 subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

39、00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 71-2:1993 4 BSI 12-1998 3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of EN 71 the following definitions apply. 3.1 flammability the ability of a material or a product to burn with a flame under specified test conditions 3.2 flaming debris material separating fro
40、m the sample during the test procedure and continuing to flame as it falls 3.3 self extinguishing the representative sample ignites but then subsequently extinguishes before the second marker thread is severed (see 4.4) 3.4 representative sample each individual sample as it appears in the toy. Where
41、 there is insufficient material to produce a complete test sample 80 mm 600 mm in size that material is not tested 3.5 hair includes materials designed to represent hair (see 4.2) 3.6 filled soft toy toy with body surfaces composed of textile or pile materials. The toy is filled with soft materials
42、(for example expanded polystyrene beads, polyester fibres or polyurethane foam) which allows compression of the body readily with the hand. This includes toys whether clothed or not 3.7 surface flash rapid spread of flame over the surface of a material, without combustion of the basic structure at t
43、hat time 4 Requirements 4.1 General The following materials shall not be used in the manufacture of toys: celluloid (cellulose nitrate) and materials with the same behaviour in fire (except when used in varnish or paint); materials with a pile surface which produces surface flash on the approach of
44、a flame. In addition toys shall not contain flammable gases, extremely flammable liquids, highly flammable liquids, flammable liquids and flammable solids except as provided for below: flammable liquids in the form of individual sealed containers having a maximum volume of 15 ml per container; highl
45、y flammable liquids and flammable liquids being entirely retained within a porous material in capillary channels of writing instruments; flammable liquids with a viscosity greater than 260 10 6 m2/s corresponding to a flow time of more than 38 s when determined in accordance with EN 535:1991 using c
46、up No. 6; highly flammable liquids in products specified in EN 71-5:1993. NOTE 1For EC countries these categories are defined in the European Council Directive 79/831/EEC of 18 September 1979 (published in the Official Journal of the EC No L 259 of 15 October 1979) relating to the classification, pa
47、ckaging and labelling of dangerous substances. NOTE 2Different legal requirements may exist in non-EC countries. 4.2 Beards, moustaches, wigs, masks and other products worn on the head with hair or other attached materials 4.2.1 Beards, moustaches, wigs, masks and other products worn on the head wit
48、h hair, pile or other attachments (e.g. paper strands) where the hair, pile or other attached material protrudes more than or equal to 50 mm from the surface of the product, when tested in accordance with 5.5, shall have a duration of flaming of not more than 2 s after removing the flame. In additio
49、n, if ignition occurs, the greatest length of pile, hair or other attachments which remains shall be: a) not less than 50 % of the greatest initial length, when the initial length was 150 mm or more; b) not less than 25 % of the greatest initial length, when the initial length was less than 150 mm. For wavy hair, the length shall be taken as the straightened length. The article is tested as used and in the most onerous conditions, e.g. with plaits unwoven.
