No. EN 71-4:1990 + A1:1998 + A2:2003 E EN 71-4:1990 BSI 12 November 20032 Brief history The Commission of the European Communities (CEC) informed in March 1985 the CEN Technical Board (CEN BT) of the activities of the Commission concerning the p
17、reparation of a new proposal for an EEC-directive within the field of safety of toys (now published as Council Directive 88/378/EEC of 3 May 1988). On 1988-05-18 the Commission submitted a draft standardization request to CEN. This request charges CEN with the preparation of a European Standard on m
18、aximum concentration limits in chemical toys for dangerous substances and preparations as defined in directives 67/548/EEC and 88/379/EEC, essential to the functioning of chemical toys. The draft standardization request was accepted by CEN BT on 1988-06-16/17 (resolution BT 86/1988). A parallel draf
19、t EFTA standardization request was submitted from EFTA on 1988-09-23. On 1988-06-08 CEN/TC 52 set up a working group CEN/TC 52/WG 5. The task of the working group was to prepare two final working drafts covering the mandate. The working group, WG 5, convened in November 1988 in Berlin, in March 1989
20、 in Salzburg and in October 1989 in Brussels. The revised third working draft, as prepared during the meeting in Salzburg, was approved on 1989-03-16 by CEN/TC 52 for submission as a draft European Standard for enquiry. A revised draft European Standard, as prepared during the meeting of WG 5 in Bru
21、ssels, was approved on 1989-10-17. In accordance with the Common CEN/CENELEC Rules, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, S
22、witzerland and United Kingdom. Foreword This European Standard consists of the following parts: Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties; Part 2: Flammability; Part 3: Migration of certain elements; Part 4: Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities. This standard is part 4 of the Euro
23、pean Standard for safety of toys. This part 4 should be read in conjunction with part 1, particularly the foreword and Clause 1 and Clause 2 of part 1. It is intended to reduce the risks which may present health hazards to a child when the experimental sets are used as intended or in a foreseeable w
24、ay, bearing in mind the normal behaviour of children. When using these experimental sets, the possible dangers should be kept to a minimum, by adding appropriate information to make the experiment recognized and controllable. Requirements are laid down in this standard. Differing legal requirements,
25、 e.g. for classification of dangerous substances, Risk/Safety phrases, labelling and limits for substances, exist in EFTA-countries. Technical rules for inclusion and exclusion of substances in Table 1 are in preparation and will be added to this standard at the earliest opportunity. Foreword to ame

EN 71-4:1990 4 BSI 12 November 2003 1 Object This part of this European Standard specifies requirements for the maximum amount of certain substances and preparations used in experime
34、ntal sets for chemistry and related activities. The standard applies to chemistry sets and supplementary sets. It also covers toys for experiments within the fields of mineralogy, biology, physics, microscopics and environmental sciences whenever they contain one or more chemical substances and/or p
35、reparations. It also specifies requirements for marking, contents list, instructions for use and for equipment intended for carrying out the experiments. 2 Field of application See Part 1 of this European Standard. This Part includes requirements for: the maximum amounts of substances and preparatio
36、ns classified as dangerous within the definitions contained in Directives 67/548/EEC (with subsequent amendments and adaptations); and the maximum amounts of substances and preparations which in excessive amounts may harm the health of the children using them and which are not covered by the above m
37、entioned Directives; and the maximum amounts of any other chemical substances delivered with the toy. 3 #Normative references EN 28317, Child-resistant packaging Requirements and testing procedures for reclosable packages (ISO 8317:1989).$ EN 71-1:1988, Safety of toys Part 1: Mechanical and physical
