EN71 - Safety of Toys
Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties

EN71 -1 is concerned with the mechanical and physical elements of the toy. In short it is checking to see if any of the mechanical or physical features of the toy could injure a child whilst it is being played with/used.

This includes, among other things, determining if there are sharp points on the toy or if there are parts on the toy that could easily be swallowed.
