Annotation

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

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

– constructional sets;

– experimental sets;

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

– electric toy computers;

– a doll's house having an interior lamp.

Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.

Additional requirements for electric toys incorporating optical radiation sources are given in Annex E.

Measurement methods for electric toys generating electromagnetic fields (EMF) are given in Annex I.

Additional requirements for the safety of remote-controls for electric ride-on toys are given in Annex J.

If the packaging is intended to have play value then it is considered to be part of the electric toy.

This International Standard only covers the safety aspects of electric toys that relate to an electrical function.
