European foreword
This document (prEN 71-5:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 52 “Safety of toys”,
the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 71-5:2015.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
Annex E provides details of significant technical changes between this document and the previous
edition.
This document constitutes the fifth part of the EN 71 series of standards on safety of toys.
EN 71, Safety of toys, consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties;
— Part 2: Flammability;
— Part 3: Migration of certain elements;
— Part 4: Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities;
— Part 5: Chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets (this document);

It is up to the user of the standard to determine whether or not a toy is included in the scope of several of
the above parts of the EN 71 series, and to apply each applicable standard accordingly. Normative
references from one part of the EN 71 series to another, are therefore normally not provided in the
individual parts.

Introduction
This document is intended to reduce the risks which can present health hazards to a child when the
chemical toys are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children.
When using these chemical toys, potential risks should be kept to a minimum by inclusion of appropriate
information to give special attention to possible hazards, risks and other problems.

them and which are not classified as dangerous by the above-mentioned legislation; and
— any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the chemical toy.
NOTE The terms “substance” and “mixture” are defined in the REACH regulation No. (EC)1907/2006 and in
the CLP regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Additionally, requirements are specified for markings, warnings, safety rules, contents list, instructions
for use and first aid information.
This document applies to:
