7 EUROPEAN Toy Safety Standards The new European Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) was published on 30 June 2009 in the Official Journal of the European Union. The purpose of the new directive is to enhance existing toy safety regulations and improve the quality of toys. The new toy safety directive which enforces the chemical compliance from 20 July 2013 imposes more stringent regulations and embraced more products than the previous directive including the restriction of 19 heavy metal elements, as opposed to the former 8, migration of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances, ban of 55 allergenic fragrances etc. TABLE-4: Comparison of Heavy Metal Requirement of 2009/48/EC and EN71-3 of 88/378/EC Element New Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC EN 71-3 Dry, brittle, powder like or pliable toy materials (mg/kg) Liquid or sticky toy materials (mg/kg) Scraped-off toy materials (mg/kg) AI Toy Materials except Modeling clay modeling clay (mg/kg) (mg/kg) Sb As Ba (1000*) B Cd Cr (III) Cr (VI) Co Cu Pb (90*) Mn Hg Ni Se Sr Sn Organic Sn Zn * stricter limit according to Germany standard 2012/160/EU 09 10

8 In addition, EU New Toy Safety Directive defines that toys shall meet all EU general chemical regulations including REACH directives, which provides legal basis for the future adding of new chemical substances. In respect of market supervision, the New Directive emphasizes on the responsibilities of manufacturers, importers and distributors in product certification, adding clauses related to the member countries enforcement power over market supervision and their punishments arising from the breach of the directive. Organic Compounds in Toys: EN 71-9, 10 and 11 Besides correspondent test standards for the content of heavy metal and other substances in toys for children, EN 71-9 is a new requirement adding to the existing EN 71 series of standards. EN focuses on the possible hazardous consequences caused by some organic compounds in toys, such as cancer, organic mutation, damages to reproductive system, etc. To minimize these hazardous consequences, EU issues EN 71-9 to limit the content of hazardous organic compounds in toys and toy materials. EN 71-9: A1: 2007 Organic Compounds Requirements EN 71-10: 2005 Organic Compounds Sample Preparation and Extraction EN 71-11: 2005 Organic Compounds Methods of Analysis EN 71-9 clearly defines the content and migration of hazardous compounds contained in toys and toy materials. The related requirements are classified according to the following ways of exposure: Lick Swallow Skin Contact Eye Contact Inhale In normal and visible use conditions, special attention shall be paid to children s behaviors, and the designs and functions of toys. EN 71-9: Organic Compounds Requirements These requirements only cover certain materials used in the following toys or toy materials such as Toy intended to be placed into mouths of children under 3, such as teether; Toys and component exposed to children under 3; Mouthpiece components of mouth-actuated toys; Solid toy materials or others intended to leave a trace The table below lists highlights of these requirements, including detailed limitation of different substances, Organic Compounds in Toys: EN 71-9, 10 and
