scope:

This International Standard deals with the safety of toys that have at least one function dependent on electricity.

NOTE 1 Examples of toys also within the scope of this standard are

- constructional sets;

- experimental sets;

- functional toys (models that have a function similar to an appliance or installation used by adults);

- video toys (toys consisting of a screen and activating means, such as a joystick or keyboard. Separate screens having a rated voltage exceeding 24 V are not considered to be a part of the toy).

Additional requirements for experimental sets are given in Annex A.

Toys using electricity for secondary functions are within the scope of this standard.

NOTE 2 A doll's house having an interior lamp is an example of such a toy.

Additional requirements for toys incorporating lasers and light-emitting diodes are given in Annex E.

In order to comply with this standard, electric toys also have to comply with ISO 8124-1, since it covers hazards other than those arising by the use of electricity.

NOTE 3 Transformers for toys and battery chargers are not considered to be a toy, even if supplied with it.

NOTE 4 If it is intended that a child also plays with the packaging, the latter is considered to be part of the toy.

- toy steam engines;

- scale models for adult collectors;

- folk dolls and decorative dolls and other similar articles for adult collectors;

- sports equipment;

- aquatic equipment intended to be used in deep water;
