The DIN Standard corresponding to the International Standard referred to in this document is as follows: ISO 7619-1 DIN ISO 7619-1 DIN EN 71-4:2013-05 3 Amendments This standard diff
7、ers from DIN EN 71-4:2009-12 as follows: a) the standard has been revised to take into account the new relevant safety requirements of Directive 2009/48/EG as compared with Directive 88/378/EEC, as well as the labelling requirements for chemical substances according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008,
8、 as it would apply to single supplied substances; b) the scope has been extended to include crystal growing sets and carbon dioxide generating experimental sets; c) new terms and definitions have been added: “chemical toy”, “experimental set”, “crystal growing set”, “carbon dioxide generating experi
9、mental set”, “cosmetic kit” and the definition of “chemistry set” has been adjusted; d) clove oil has been deleted from Table 1; the danger symbols in Tables 1, 2 and 3 have been replaced by the corresponding GHS pictograms and the signal words and index numbers have been added; e) colorants and col
10、ouring materials which are not specified in Table 2 may now under certain conditions also be supplied in chemistry sets; f) requirements for crystal growing sets including a list of the allowed substances (Table 4) have been included as a new Subclause 4.2; g) requirements for carbon dioxide generat
11、ing experimental sets including a list of the allowed substances (Table 5) has been included as a new Subclause 4.3; h) requirements for the packaging of crystal growing substances and carbon dioxide generating substances have been added in Subclause 5.2.4; i) the test method for eye protection has
12、been deleted from Subclause 5.5; it has been specified that eye protection is to be provided for experimental sets containing substances which have to be marked with the GHS pictogram and for chemistry sets; j) marking requirements in Clause 6 have been brought in line with Directive 2009/48/EC and
13、Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008; k) requirements for the contents list in Clause 7 have been revised (e.g. R/S-phrases have been replaced by H- and P-phrases) and the general first aid information has been slightly adjusted; l) safety rules for chemistry sets have been revised and safety rules for cry

DIN EN 71-4:2013-05 EN 71-4:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard, EN 71-4, is intended
37、to reduce the risks and health hazards to a child when experimental sets involving chemical experiments are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. During use of these experimental sets, the hazards should be kept to a minimum by the provision of appropri
38、ate information to make the experiments safe and controllable. Therefore, this European Standard specifies warning phrases and instructions for use for experimental sets. As a general rule, experimental sets are designed and manufactured for particular ages of children. Their characteristics are rel
39、ated to the age and stage of development of the children, and their use presupposes certain aptitudes. Age requirements are therefore given. The requirements of this European Standard do not release parents or carers from their responsibility of watching over the child while he or she is carrying ou
40、t experiments. On the contrary, the use of these sets requires close supervision by adults. DIN EN 71-4:2013-05 EN 71-4:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the maximum amount and, in some cases, the maximum concentration of certain substances and mixtures used in exp
41、erimental sets for chemistry and related activities. These substances and mixtures are: those classified as dangerous by the EC-legislation applying to dangerous substances 1, 2 and dangerous mixtures 2, 3; substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children usin
42、g them and which are not classified as dangerous by the above mentioned legislation; and any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the experimental set. This standard applies to experimental sets for chemistry and related activities including crystal growing sets, carbon dioxide
43、generating experimental sets and supplementary sets. It also covers sets for chemical experiments within the fields of mineralogy, biology, physics, microscopy and environmental science whenever they contain one or more chemical substances and/or mixtures which are classified as hazardous according
44、to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 2. This standard also specifies requirements for marking, a contents list, instructions for use, eye protection and for the equipment intended for carrying out the experiments. This standard does not apply to toys that are covered by EN 71-13 (e.g. cosmetic kits). Re
45、quirements for certain other chemical toys are given in EN 71-5. NOTE The terms “substance“ and “preparation“, as used in Directives 67/548/EEC 1 and 1999/45/EC 3, are also used in the “REACH Regulation”, Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 4. According to the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of classific
46、ation and labelling of chemicals, which in the European Union has been enacted by Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) 2, the timetable for the introduction of GHS has to be followed. The words “preparation” and “mixture” should be consid
47、ered synonymous; both are a mixture or solution of substances that do not react with each other. The old term “preparation” will be replaced by the new term “mixture” in due course. In this standard, only the term “mixture” is used. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part
