Safety & Production
What EN 71 Toy Safety Testing Actually Means
A clear introduction to the European toy-safety standard for parents, retailers and licensing partners.
EN 71 is a group of European standards used to assess toy safety. It is not a decorative badge: it covers different risks, materials and methods that must be considered before a toy reaches children.
The three parts buyers hear about
EN 71-1 examines mechanical and physical properties. EN 71-2 addresses flammability. EN 71-3 sets limits for the migration of certain chemical elements from toy materials.
- EN 71-1: mechanical and physical safety
- EN 71-2: flammability
- EN 71-3: migration of certain elements
Testing is part of a wider process
A test report relates to the tested sample and specification. Production controls, traceability, labelling, technical documentation and change management matter too. Requirements also vary by market.
Our production approach
Little World Studios develops its product programme with Weijun Toys, a Disney-approved factory partner. Detailed specifications and market-specific requirements are agreed with qualified partners before production.
