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 subjected to a small 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 toys or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition.
This European Standard 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:
toys to be worn on the head: beards, moustaches, wigs, etc. made from hair, pile or material with similar
features; masks; hoods, head-dresses, etc.; flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head, but
excluding paper novelty hats of the type usually supplied in party crackers;
toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;
toys intended to be entered by a child;
soft-filled toys.
NOTE Additional requirements for flammability of electric toys are specified in EN 62115.
