Foreword
This document (EN 71-4:1990/A3:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 52 “Safety of
toys”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This Amendment to the European Standard EN 71-4:1990 shall be given the status of a national standard,
either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2007, and conflicting
national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2007.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 88/378/EEC.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Replace the heading "Brief history" by "Introduction".
Add to the "Introduction" after the last paragraph:
The following technical changes were introduced by EN 71-4:1990/A3:2007:
- deletion of dangerous substances which are suspected of having carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for
reproduction (CMR) properties;
- improvement in the classification of substances.
Replace Clause 1 "Object" and Clause 2 "Field of application" with the following:
1 Scope
"This part of the European Standard EN 71 specifies requirements for the maximum amount of certain
substances and preparations used in experimental sets for chemistry and related activities.
These substances and preparations are
 chemicals classified as dangerous by the Directives on dangerous substances [1] and dangerous
preparations [2] (including substances which have been self-classified according to the requirements of
these Directives);
 substances and preparations which in excessive amounts may harm the health of the children using them
but which are not classified as dangerous by the above mentioned Directives and
 other chemical substances and preparations delivered with the toy.
This standard applies to chemistry sets and supplementary sets. It also covers toys for experiments within the
fields of mineralogy, biology, physics, microscopy and environmental science whenever they contain one or
more chemical substances and/or preparations.
It also specifies requirements for marking, contents list, instructions for use and for equipment intended for
carrying out the experiments."

Renumber all the subsequent clauses and subclauses.
Replace Clause 3 "References" with Clause 2 “Normative references"
Delete "EN 71-1:1988, Directive 67/548/EEC, 88/379/EEC" and the" footnotes 1 and 2".
Replace "EN 28317"and its title with "EN ISO 8317, Child-resistant packaging - Requirements and
testing procedures for reclosable packages (ISO 8317:2003)".
st
In former Clause 5 change the 1 paragraph as follows:
"Only chemical substances, preparations and indicators given in Table 1 and Table 2…"
In the second paragraph of former Clause 5, Chemical substances, replace:
“….within the definitions contained in Directives 67/548/EEC (with subsequent amendments and adaptations)
and 88/379/EEC (with subsequent amendments and adaptations).”
with “(see [1] and [2])”
rd nd
In former Clause 5 put the 3 paragraph before the 2 paragraph and change "…referred to in
Table 2…" to "…referred to in Table 3…"
