Description

Service background

Scope of application: Applies to products designed for children under 14 years of age, or for their play, whether or not specifically designed for them or for their use.

Thus, the toy EN71 certification Act was introduced in Europe, which means that the toy products entering the European market are technically regulated through the EN71 standard, so as to reduce or avoid the harm of toys to children.
