EN 71-11 Safety of Toys - Part 11: Organic Chemical Compounds - Analytical Methods.

Primary Purpose:

The EU's mandatory method standard provides a uniform analytical approach for toy extracts prepared according to EN 71-10, enabling precise detection of or ganiccompound content and verification of compliance with EN 71-9 limits, thereby safeguarding the health of children under 14 years old.

Standard Definition:

Applicable to extracts from components accessible to children under 14 years old in toys. Focus on 7 categories of organic compounds, including flame retardants, plasticizers, dyes, aromatic amines, etc.; analysis of formaldehyde-related compounds requires reference to EN 71-9/10 and is used in conjunction with the first two parts.

Testing and Certification Requirements:

Method: Utilizetechniques such as GC-MS, LC-MS, and HPLC for targeted detection of different types of compounds.

Process: Choose an appropriate analytical approach based on the properties of the substance to ensure accurate qualitative and quantitative results.

Compliance: Must be performed by a laboratory accredited by ISO/IEC 17025, and the test results must clearly meet the EN 71-9 limits.
