Attention is drawn to the possibility

11、that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. CEN/TR 15371, Safety of toys Interpretations, is currently composed with the following parts: Part 1: Replies to requests fo

12、r interpretation of EN 71-1, EN 71-2, EN 71-8 and EN 71-14; Part 2: Replies to requests for interpretation of the chemical standards in the EN 71-series. At the time of publication of this report, CEN/TC 52 had only received, and replied to, a few requests for interpretation to the chemical standard

13、s in the EN 71 series. Even though they are few, CEN/TC 52 has decided to publish the replies to these requests for interpretation in CEN/TR 13571-2 to ensure they become publically available to all stakeholders. PD CEN/TR 15371-2:2015CEN/TR 13571-2:2015 (E) 4 0 Introduction 0.1 Interpretations and

14、no-action decisions This Technical Report contains replies to requests for interpretations concerning the understanding of clauses in the chemical standards in the EN 71 series: EN 71-3: Migration of certain elements; EN 71-4: Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities; EN 71-5: Chemical

15、 toys (sets) other than experimental sets; EN 71-7: Finger paints Requirements and test methods; EN 71-9: Organic chemical compounds Requirements; EN 71-10: Organic chemical compounds Sample preparation and extraction; EN 71-11: Organic chemical compounds Methods of analysis; EN 71-12: N-Nitrosamine

16、s and N-Nitrosatable substances; EN 71-13: Olfactory board games, cosmetic kits and gustative games. The replies concern those requests that have resulted in an interpretation or a decision that no action is required as the standard is sufficiently clear. An interpretation does not have the same sta

17、tus as the text of the standard, nor can it overrule the text of the standard. However, following an interpretation should give assurance that the relevant clause of the standard has been correctly applied. An interpretation should only be regarded as a clarification of the meaning of the standard.

18、Disclaimer The interpretations have been derived by expert groups of CEN/TC 52. The information contained herein is for guidance only and does not reflect the formal approval by CEN or CEN member bodies. It should be noted that the interpretations are neither part of any standard nor have been refer

19、enced in the Official Journal of the European Union. 0.2 Requests for interpretation Requests for interpretations may be submitted by a CEN member body through its national committee or by a CEN/TC 52 liaison (but not directly by an individual or a company) - in accordance with the interpretation pr

20、otocols agreed by CEN/TC 52. The requests are then channelled to the relevant CEN/TC 52 working party, which will then deal with the request. A request for an interpretation may lead to: a) An interpretation of the standard: This should reflect a reasonable interpretation of how the standard should

21、be used, taking into account: 1) the wording of the standard; PD CEN/TR 15371-2:2015CEN/TR 13571-2:2015 (E) 5 2) the rationale of the standard; 3) the history of the standard. b) A no-action decision: This is applicable when it is agreed that the standard appropriately specifies how a toy shall be a

22、ssessed. c) A proposal for an amendment of the standard: This is applicable when it is agreed that the standard is deficient in some way. NOTE Interpretation and no-action decisions are published in CEN/TR 153712, which will be updated on a regular basis. Proposals for amendments will be progressed

23、as new work item proposals in accordance with CEN rules. 0.3 Answers to requests for interpretations Since requests for interpretations are submitted through a CEN member body or a CEN/TC 52 liaison, it is assumed that they will keep themselves informed about decisions concerning the request and its

24、 progress and will themselves inform the originator of the request as appropriate.

27、ies - “stickers” (interpretation) Question The question relates to the categorization of “stickers” under 4.1 Toy material categories of EN 71-3. Stickers are often composed of paper/plastic and glue. Sticky/liquid glue as such falls within category II of the EN 71-3 (liquid or sticky material), whi

28、le paper/plastic falls within category III (scraped-off material). We have considered two situations: stickers already on the toy (glue is not accessible to children since the sticker is already on the toy); stickers provided as such to children (glue is accessible once the sticker is removed from i

29、ts backing). We would like to know whether the sticker materials in the two above cases shall be considered independently for their categorization (i.e. category II for the glue and category III for the paper) or whether the whole sticker should be considered for the categorization. Reply Stickers w

30、hich are already placed on the toy (glue is not accessible) should be tested as scraped-off material (polymer/paper: category III). Stickers provided as such to the child with possible exposure to the thin sticky part (including temporary tattoos), should also be evaluated according to category III

Erasers classified as toys which are made of

32、 polymeric material releases some particles when used. In which toy material category should we classify erasers? Reply Erasers made of polymeric material and classified as toys (see commission guidance document 15) and their released particles are categorized as category III toy material. REQ 002-1
