The Safety of Toys Directive 2009/48/EC outlines safety requirements for electric toys within the European Union. Manufacturers must follow conformity assessment procedures, affix the CE marking, and maintain technical documentation. EN 62115 is a harmonized standard providing technical specifications to meet these requirements for electric toys.

On the other hand, the Safety of Laser Products Regulation EN 60825-1 focuses on the safety testing of laser products. This standard, applicable to products like laser pointers, covers various safety aspects associated with lasers. It defines laser classes based on their potential hazards, outlines safety measures, and provides guidelines for labeling. EN 60825-1 ensures that laser products comply with safety requirements to protect users from potential harm.

When considering both EN 62115 and EN 60825-1 for a product, we Ni Hau, as a responsible OEM Stationery Manufacturer, make sure the products we deliver adhere to the relevant requirements of each standard. 

Here are key testing parameters for the Safety of Toys Directive 2009/48/EC (EN 62115) & the Safety of Laser Products Regulation EN 60825-1:

Safety of Toys Directive 2009/48/EC (EN 62115):

1. Electrical Safety:

   • Testing of electrical components to ensure they meet safety standards.
   • Verification of insulation, wiring, and protection against electric shock.

2. Mechanical and Physical Properties:

   • Evaluation of structural integrity to prevent hazards like sharp edges or small parts that could pose choking hazards.
   • Testing for mechanical strength and durability.

3. Flammability:

   • Assessment of the toy's resistance to ignition sources and flame spread.
   • Identification of potential fire hazards.

4. Chemical Properties:

   • Analysis of materials to ensure they do not contain harmful substances above specified limits.
   • Testing for compliance with chemical safety requirements.

5. Hygiene:

   • Examination of materials and design to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms.
   • Ensuring that toys are safe for children to put in their mouths.

6. Radiation Safety:

   • Ensuring that any radiation emitted by the toy is within safe limits.

7. Noise Emission:

   • Measurement of noise levels produced by the toy to ensure they do not pose a risk to hearing.

8. Warnings and Instructions:

   • Verification of the presence and effectiveness of safety warnings and instructions.

Safety of Laser Products Regulation EN 60825-1:

1. Laser Classification:

   • Classification of the laser product into appropriate classes based on its potential hazards.

2. Accessible Emission Limits:

   • Measurement of accessible emission limits to ensure they comply with safety standards.

3. Labeling Requirements:

   • Verification that the product is labeled with the appropriate laser class, warning labels, and safety information.

4. Interlock Systems:

   • Testing of interlock systems to ensure that lasers are deactivated when access panels are opened.

5. Beam Divergence:

   • Measurement of the divergence of the laser beam to ensure it does not pose a hazard at a distance.

6. Radiation Hazards:

   • Evaluation of potential hazards associated with radiation, including non-beam hazards.

7. Eye and Skin Hazards:

   • Assessment of the laser product's impact on eyes and skin, ensuring it is within safe limits.

8. Testing of Remote Interrogation:

   • For certain classes of lasers, testing of remote interrogation to determine safety features.

It's crucial for us as a stationery OEM manufacturer to conduct thorough testing in accordance with these parameters to ensure compliance with the respective regulations and standards, providing safe products for our customers.
