Specifies in two broad groups various hazards associated with constructional aspects of toys intended for use by children up to the age of 14 years. The first group of hazards is applicable to all toys (e.g. sharp edges, sharp points, pinch of crush hazard). The second group of hazards relates to specific toys which, because of their design or their traditional play modes, present a particular hazard (e.g. ingestion or inhalation hazard of small toys particularly if handled by a child aged less than three years; puncture hazard resulting from being struck by a projectile toy such as a toy dart). In addition to a series of normal use and reasonably forseeable abuse tests, the Standard specifies a number of tests for specific toys (e.g. rattlers, teethers, projectile toys). Labelling requirements and age suitability gradings are also specified.

This Standard specifies constructional and labelling requirements for toys intended for use by children up to 14 years of age.
