BS EN 71-4:2013 pdf download – Safety of toys Part 4: Experimental sets for chemistry and related activities 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the maximum amount and, in some cases, the maximumconcentration of certain substances and mixtures used in experimental sets for chemistry and relatedactivities. These substances and mixtures are: those classified as dangerous by the EC-legislation applying to dangerous substances [1],[2]anddangerous mixtures [2].[3] substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children using themand which are not classified as dangerous by the above mentioned legislation; and – any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the experimental set. This standard applies to experimental sets for chemistry and related activities including crystal growing sets,carbon dioxide generating experimental sets and supplementary sets. lt also covers sets for chemicalexperiments within the fields of mineralgy, biology,physics, microscopy and environmental sciencewhenever they contain one or more chemical substances andlor mixtures which are classified as hazardousaccording to Regulation(EC) No.1272/2008[2]. This standard also specifies requirements for marking, a contents list,instructions for use, eye protection andfor the equipment intended for carrying out the experiments. This standard does not apply to toys that are covered by EN71-13(e.g. cosmetic kits).Requirements forcertain other chemical toys are given in EN 71-5. NOTE The terms “substance” and”preparation”, as used in Directives 67/548/EEC [1] and 199945/EC [3], are alsoused in the “REACH Regulation’,Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 [4]. According to the Globally Harmonised System(GHS) of classification and labelling of chemicals,which in the European Union has been enacted by Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (classication,labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) [2], the timetable for the introduction ofGHS has to be followed. The words “preparation” and “mixture”should be considered synonymous; both are a mixture or solution of substancesthat do not react with each other. The old term “preparation” will be replaced by the new term “mixture” in due course. Inthis standard, only the term “mixture”” is used. 2Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part,are normatively referenced in this document and areindispensable for its application.
