This document specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys, and
requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of
ignition.
The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of toys
under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained are not considered as
providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other
sources of ignition.
This document includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and methods
of test relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the greatest hazard:
— toys to be worn on the head: beards, moustaches, wigs, etc. made from pile or flowing elements;
masks; hoods, headdresses, etc.; However, paper and paperboard hats without embellishments or
attachments are excluded;
— toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;
— toys intended to be entered by a child and constructed from textiles and/or polymer sheets and films;
— soft-filled toys.
