scope:

The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide replies to requests for interpretations of EN 71-1:2011, Safety of toys - Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties, EN 71-2:2011, Safety of toys - Part 2: Flammability and EN 71-8:2003, Safety of toys - Part 8: Activity toys for domestic use. This Technical Report contains replies to requests for interpretations concerning the understanding of clauses in EN 71-1:2011, EN 71-2:2011 and EN 71-8:2011. 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. 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 clarification of the meaning of the standard.
