BS EN 71-1_{Safety of toys. Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties}

This European Standard specifies different forces or loads to be used when testing toys intended for children of different age groups. If no age group is specified, or a toy spans over more than one age group, or there is reasonable doubt as to which age group the toy is intended for, the toy shall be subjected to the more severe test. The guidelines also apply to baby toys and soft toys.
