EVS-EN 71-7:2014+A2:2018

Directive 2009/48/EC (Toy safety) Notices: Note 1: For the allowed preservative climbazole (entry 22 in Table B.1 of Annex B to standard EN 71-7:2014+A2:2018) the presumption of conformity applies up to a maximum allowed concentration of 0,2 % (not: 0,5 %). This is based on the ‘ADDENDUM to the Opinion on Climbazole (P64) ref. SCCS/1506/13’ of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) that was adopted after the publication of the standard by CEN. https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/ scientific_committees/consumer_safety/doc s/sccs_o_212.pdf Note 2: The allowed preservatives a) Mixture of 5-Chloro-2- methyl-isothiazol-3(2H)-one and 2- methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one with magnesium chloride and magnesium nitrate and b) 2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one (MIT) (entries 31 and 32 in the superseded standard EN 71-7:2014) have been restricted to a) 1 mg/kg (content limit) and b) 0,25 mg/kg (content limit) in aqueous toy materials by Directive (EU) 2015/2117, OJ L 306, 24.11.2015, p. 23. Both content limits are applicable since 24 November 2017. The superseded standard therefore does not any more provide the presumption of conformity for these two preservatives.
