EN 71-3 Compliance Testing for Silicone Toys
EN 71-3:2019 is a vital safety standard for toys, focusing on the migration of elements harmful if ingested or inhaled by children. This standard is part of the broader EN 71 series, ensuring the safety of toys sold in the European Union. Compliance with EN 71-3 confirms that silicone toys are safe for children.
EN 71-3 Compliance: Testing Methods for Silicone Rubber Products
To ensure compliance with EN 71-3:2019, we use advanced testing methods like Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). These methods detect and quantify trace elements with high precision.
