TABLE-4: Comparison of Heavy Metal Requirement of 2009/48

and EN71-3 of 88/378/ECEUROPEAN Toy Safety Standards

The new European Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) wasublished on 30 June 2009 in the Official Journal of the European

Union. The purpose of the new directive is to enhance existingoy safety regulations and improve the quality of toys.

The new toy safety directive which enforces the chemicalompliance from 20 July 2013 imposes more stringent regulationsnd embraced more products than the previous directive

ncluding the restriction of 19 heavy metal elements, as opposedo the former 8, migration of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable

ubstances, ban of 55 allergenic fragrances etc.

n addition, EU New Toy Safety Directive defines that toys shallmeet all EU general chemical regulations including REACH

irectives, which provides legal basis for the future adding of newhemical substances. In respect of market supervision, the New

Directive emphasizes on the responsibilities of manufacturers,mporters and distributors in product certification, adding clauseselated to the member countries enforcement power over marketupervision and their punishments arising from the breach of theirective.

Organic Compounds in Toys: EN 71-9, 10

and 11

Besides correspondent test standards for the content of heavymetal and other substances in toys for children, EN 71-9 is a newequirement adding to the existing EN 71 series of standards. EN-1-9 focuses on the possible hazardous consequences causedy some organic compounds in toys, such as cancer, organic

mutation, damages to reproductive system, etc. To minimize theseazardous consequences, EU issues EN 71-9 to limit the contentf hazardous organic compounds in toys and toy materials.

EN 71-9 clearly defines the content and migration of hazardcompounds contained in toys and toy materials. The relarequirements are classified according to the following wayexposure: Lick Swallow Skin Contact Eye Contact Inhale

In normal and visible use conditions, special attention shapaid to childrens behaviors, and the designs and functiontoys.

EN 71-9: Organic Compounds RequirementsThese requirements only cover certain materials used infollowing toys or toy materials such as Toy intended to be placed into mouths of children under 3, s

as teether; Toys and component exposed to children under 3; Mouthpiece components of mouth-actuated toys; Solid toy materials or others intended to leave a trace
