Due to a standardisation request, nearly all EN 71 toy standards and EN 62115 will be revised in 2025. In order to keep you up to date, we will regularly publish the status of projects and published standards.
The standardisation request is a new way to define the work program for standardisation bodies CEN/CENELEC. The agreement between the EU commission and CEN/CENELEC was signed in October 2022.
The deadline for the adoption of new and revised standards is October 25, 2025. Due to this nearly all EN 71 standards and EN 62115 will be revised and published in 2025.
In order to keep you up to date we will regularly publish an overview.
Explanation of terminology:
• Project: Ongoing work and voting procedures in CEN
• Published CEN: Agreed and published by CEN, but not yet Harmonized. Standard is available, but does not yet provide presumption of conformity with the legislation, the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC
• Harmonized: Accepted by the EU Commission and member states and published in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU). Standards provide presumption of conformity with the legislation
