Requirement

The customer supplies plush giftware to retailers such as Clintons. Their plush products are manufactured to European toy safety standard BS EN 71-1:1998 (Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties).

To meet this standard small parts attached to the plush must withstand a 90 N tension test.

Solution

To meet the specification Mecmesin supplied a test system consisting of a MDD manual test stand, an AFG 250N digital force gauge and a variety of fixtures, suitable for testing a wide variety of plush toy shapes and sizes.

This system enabled the customer to determine that the small parts on the plush toys could resist a specified force, meeting the requirements of the European toy safety standard and assising in product design.

Test equipment

  • MDD test stand
  • AFG 250N digital force gauge
  • Small parallel jaw grip
  • Multi Jaw gripping fixture
  • Modified multijaw gripping fixture
