Annotation

This European Standard specifies electrical safety requirements for toys that have at least one function dependant on electricity, toys being any product designed or clearly intended, whether or not exclusively, for use in play by children of less than 14 years of age.

NOTE 1 Examples of toys also within the scope of this standard are

- constructional sets;

- experimental sets;

- functional toys (a toy which performs and is used in the same way as a product, appliance or installation intended for h use by adults, and which may be a scale model of such product, appliance or installation);

- computer toys;

– toy computers;

Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.

Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard.

NOTE 2 A doll's house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy.

Additional requirements for toys incorporating lasers and light-emitting diodes are given in Annex E.

if it is intended that a child also plays with the packaging, the latter is considered to be part of the toy.

This European Standard only covers the electrical safety aspects of toys. Non-electrical safety aspects are covered by EN 71 series. For more details, see Annexes ZZA and ZZB.
