 New EU toy regulations for 2025! Update on CE-EN71 certification



New EU Toy Regulation 2025! CE-EN71 Certification Update 🚨


At the end of February 2025, the EU toy CE-EN71 certification testing standard was updated!


The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has released three new standards involving the testing of formamide, flame retardants, and preservatives. Parents exporting toys to the EU, beware!


🌟 Three new standards:


1️⃣ EN71-15:2025: It tests the formamide content in foam toy materials, with a limit of 200mg/kg.


2️⃣ EN71-16:2025: Testing for chlorinated phosphorus flame retardants (TCEP, TCPP, TDCP) in materials.


3️⃣ EN71-17:2025: Testing for isothiazolinone preservatives (MIT, CIT, BIT) in water-based materials.


📅 Implementation time:


By the end of August 2025, all member states are required to replace conflicting national standards.


The new standard is expected to become the harmonized standard for the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).


🎯 Scope of application:


Toys for children under 36 months.


Other toys intended to be placed in the mouth.


⚠️ Important reminder:


Foam materials with a formamide content exceeding 200mg/kg will be subject to emission restrictions!


Toy companies exporting to the EU need to adjust their products in advance to ensure compliance!


💡 Suggestion:


Update test reports promptly to avoid product rejection!


Seek assistance from a professional organization to ensure a smooth certification process!

 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...
