The new European Toy Safety Directive entered into force on 20 July 2011 with the exception of the new chemical requirements, which come into force on 20 July 2013. These new chemical requirements mean extensive changes so it is high time to check that any toys you export to Europe to be placed on the market after 20 July this year will meet the new requirements.

欧盟玩具安全新指令于2011年7月20日生效，其中新的化学要求例外，将于2013年7月20日生效。新的化学要求意味着更多的变化，对于出口到欧洲市场的玩具，现在已到了刻不容缓的时候，因为今年7月20日号出口的欧洲的玩具都要满足新的要求。

As more than 80% of toys sold in Europe are made in China, it is important that Chinese operators have a comprehensive dialogue with their European clients in order to make sure that the supplier manuals they are following are up-to-date. Your client could be faced with penalties such as a hefty fine, one year’s imprisonment or closure of a company for five years, not to mention substantial reputation damage, if they were found to place non-compliant toys on the market.

由于80％以上在欧洲销售的玩具都是中国制造的，中国的运营商就非常有必要与欧洲客户进行一次全面的对话，以确保他们遵循的是最新的供应商手册。你的客户如果被发现在市场上销售不符合规定的玩具，他们可能会面临处罚，如高额罚款，入狱一年或关闭公司五年，更别提商誉上的损失。

The new requirements apply for all toys placed on the market after 20 July whether or not similar toys were manufactured or exported before the July deadline.

无论玩具是否是在7月的最后期限之前制造或出口的，只要是 7月20日后投放市场的，新规定都适用。

Below follows a summary of the major changes introduced by the new chemical rules.

下文归纳了新的化学规则的主要变化。

Safety requirements

The Toy Safety Directive specifies that even if a toy meets the particular requirements (below), market surveillance authorities may request action if they suspect that the toy involves a chemical risk. The Directive also stipulates that toys must be designed and manufactured in such a way that there are no risks of adverse effects on human health due to exposure to the chemical substances or mixtures of which the toys are composed or which they contain.

安全要求

玩具安全指令特别指出，即使玩具符合特定的要求（见下文），如果市场监督机构怀疑玩具可能包含化学风险，也可能会采取行动。该指令还规定玩具必须以特定的方式被设计和制造，即可接触到的组成或被包含在玩具中的化学物质或混合物，不会存在对人体健康造成不利影响的风险。

Migration limits

The Directive sets maximum migration limitsfor 19 chemical elements. The limits are different depending on which of the three categories of material are used:

1.dry, brittle, powder-like or pliable

2.liquid or sticky

3.scraped-off

可迁移元素的限量：

该指令规定了19种化学元素的最大迁移限量。根据三类材料的使用，其限量是不同的：

1.干燥、易碎、粉末状或易弯的玩具材料；

2.液态或粘性玩具材料；

3.刮漆玩具材料。

This means that the number of chemical elements regulated by migration limits has been extended from the current 8 to 19 in total, and that different limits apply depending on the toy material category. The limit values presently in place for the eight substances already regulated will generally become stricter. The reason for the different limits for different categories of material is that a child can, for example, ingest larger amounts of a liquid material such as a soap bubble solution, than of, for example, a thin layer of paint that has to be scraped off the surface of a toy. The elements covered by the migration requirements are aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (VI), cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, strontium, tin, organic tin and zinc.

这意味着，受限制的可迁移化学元素的数量已经由目前的8个扩大至19个，而根据在玩具上的材料种类适用于不同的限量值。目前已经规定的八种物质的限量值会变得更加严格。针对不同类别的材料规定不同的限量值，主要是由于一个孩子可能咽下的液体材料如肥皂泡溶液的数量，远大于咽下一层薄涂料（比如从玩具表面刮落的）。迁移要求所涵盖的元素有铝，锑，砷，钡，硼，镉，铬（III），铬（VI），钴，铜，铅，锰，汞，镍，硒，锶，锡，有机锡和锌。

Prohibition of CMR substances

Substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMRs) are banned in accessible parts of a toy in concentrations above those laid down in the Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging of substances (CLP Regulation 1272/2008). The limits depend on the substance classification (categories 1A, 1B or 2) and range from 0,1% to 3%. This requirement applies in addition to the migration limits and to each part of the toy. The requirement does not apply to CMRs that are inaccessible to children using the toy.

CMR物质的限制

致癌，诱变或生殖毒性（CMR物质）的物质，在玩具的可触及部件的浓度禁止高于欧盟分类、标签和包装法规（CLP法规1272/2008）中的规定。限值取决于物质的分类
