Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this docume

32、nt may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes CEN/TR 15371:2014. CEN/TR 15371, Safety of toys Interpretations, is currently composed with the following parts: Part 1: Replies to request

33、s for interpretation of EN 71-1, EN 71-2, EN 71-8 and EN 71-14; Part 2: Replies to requests for interpretation of the chemical standards in the EN 71-series. PD CEN/TR 15371-1:2015CEN/TR 15371-1:2015 (E) 6 0 Introduction 0.1 Interpretations and no-action decisions This Technical Report contains repl

34、ies to requests for interpretations concerning the understanding of clauses in EN 71-1:2014, EN 71-2:2011+A1:2014, EN 71-8:2011 and EN 71-14:2014. The replies concern those requests that have resulted in an interpretation or a decision that no action is required as the standard is sufficiently clear

35、. An interpretation does not have the same status as the text of the standard, nor can it overrule the text of the standard. However, following an interpretation should give assurance that the relevant clause of the standard has been correctly applied. An interpretation should only be regarded as a

36、clarification of the meaning of the standard. Disclaimer: The interpretations have been derived by expert groups of CEN/TC 52. The information contained herein is for guidance only and does not reflect the formal approval by CEN or CEN member bodies. It should be noted that the interpretations are n

37、either part of any standard nor have been referenced in the Official Journal of the European Union. 0.2 Requests for interpretation Requests for interpretations may be submitted by a CEN member body through its national committee or by a CEN/TC 52 liaison (but not directly by an individual or a comp

38、any) - in accordance with the interpretation protocols agreed by CEN/TC 52. The requests are then channelled to the relevant CEN/TC 52 working party, which will then deal with the request. A request for an interpretation may lead to: a) An interpretation of the standard: This should reflect a reason

39、able interpretation of how the standard should be used, taking into account: 1) the wording of the standard; 2) the rationale of the standard; 3) the history of the standard. b) A no-action decision: This is applicable when it is agreed that the standard appropriately specifies how a toy shall be as

40、sessed. c) A proposal for an amendment of the standard: This is applicable when it is agreed that the standard is deficient in some way. NOTE Interpretation and no-action decisions are published in CEN/TR 15371, which will be updated on a regular basis. Proposals for amendments will be progressed as

41、 new work item proposals in accordance with CEN rules. PD CEN/TR 15371-1:2015CEN/TR 15371-1:2015 (E) 7 0.3 Answers to requests for interpretations Since requests for interpretations are submitted through a CEN member body or a CEN/TC 52 liaison, it is assumed that they will keep themselves informed

42、about decisions concerning the request and its progress and will themselves inform the originator of the request as appropriate. PD CEN/TR 15371-1:2015CEN/TR 15371-1:2015 (E) 8 1 Scope The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide replies to requests for interpretations of EN 71-1:2014, Safety

43、of toys Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties, EN 71-2:2011+A1:2014, Safety of toys Part 2: Flammability, EN 71-8:2011, Safety of toys Part 8: Activity toys for domestic use and EN 71-14:2014, Safety of toys Part 14: Trampolines for domestic use. 2 EN 71-1:2014, Safety of toys Part 1: Mechanica

44、l and physical properties 2.1 3.12 Cord (no action decision) Question The question relates to 3.12 “cord” of EN 71-1. The standard defines cord as: “length of flexible textile or non-textile material including elastic material, monofilament polymeric material, tape, ribbon, rope, strap, woven and tw

45、isted material and string as well as certain weak and long springs” Soft filled parts of a soft filled toy are not included by the definition of cord. Therefore, the requirements of 5.4 shall not be applied to those parts. In the example provided, the tail of Figure 1 and the toy of Figure 3 are sof

46、t filled, while the tail of Figure 2 is not soft filled, therefore 5.4 is applicable only to the tail of Figure 2. Is it correct? Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Reply Standard is clear. Soft-filled parts of toys are not cords as defined in the standard. The tail of the toy in Figure 2 is considered a co

47、rd because there is not stuffing material inside. REQ 104-12 (UNI, Italy) 2.2 3.30 Fuzz (no action decision) Question The question relates to 3.30 “fuzz” of EN 71-1. Some soft filled toys may have fur with long hairs, even longer than 50 mm. We do know that such hairs are not to be considered as mon

48、ofilament fibres. If the toy loses these hairs when pet (as per foreseeable use), as in the attached picture, even in great amount, is it correct to consider these hairs included in the definition of fuzz, therefore excluding them from the requirements of 5.1? PD CEN/TR 15371-1:2015CEN/TR 15371-1:20

49、15 (E) 9 Figure 4 Figure 5 Reply Standard is clear. It is correct to consider the described fibres as fuzz (which is excluded from 5.1 requirements). REQ 105-12 (UNI, Italy) 2.3 3.33 Large and bulky toy (interpretation) Question How do you measure the volume of large and bulky toys as defined in 3.33 of EN 71-1:2014? Here are two possible ways. Option A or Option B (see drawings below)? PD CEN/TR 15371-1:2015CEN/TR 15371-1:2015 (E) 10 OPTION A: GLOBAL VOLUME CALCULATION OPTION B : follow the shape to calculate volume Toy 1 PD CEN/TR 15
