This document specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys, and

requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of

ignition.

The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of

toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained are not considered as

providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other

sources of ignition.

This document includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and

methods of test relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the

greatest hazard:

toys to be worn on the head: beards, moustaches, wigs, etc. made from hair, pile or material with

similar features; masks; hoods, head-dresses, etc.; flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head,

but excluding paper novelty hats of the type usually supplied in party crackers;

toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;

toys intended to be entered by a child;

soft-filled toys.

NOTE Additional requirements for flammability of electric toys are specified in EN 62115:2005.
