The objective of this Standard is to specify requirements for the substances and materials used in chemical toys (sets) other than experimental sets.

This Part of EN71 specifies requirements for thesubstances and materials used in chemical toys(sets) other than experimental sets. It specifies:— the maximum amounts of substances andpreparations classified as dangerous by thedefinitions in Directives 67/548/EEC 1)(withsubsequent amendments and adaptations)and 88/379/EEC 1) (with subsequentamendments and adaptations); and— the maximum amounts of substances andpreparations which in excessive amounts mayharm the health of children using them andwhich are not covered by the above mentionedDirectives; and— the maximum amounts for other substances orpreparations delivered with the toy.Additionally, requirements are specified formarkings, warning, safety rules, contents list,instructions for use and first aid information.This Part of EN71 applies to:— plaster of Paris (gypsum) moulding sets;— ceramic and vitreous enamelling materialssupplied in miniature workshop sets;— oven hardening plasticized PVC modelling claysets;— plastic moulding sets;— embedding sets;— photographic developing sets;— adhesives, paints, lacquers, varnishes,thinners and cleaning agents (solvents) suppliedor recommended in model sets.
