Safety of Electric Toys

Document Number: NL IEC 50088 : 2001
Sector: Electrical Engineering
TC: NL TC IRI
ICS: 97.200.50
This European Standard deals with the safety of electric toys. It also applies to electric constructional sets, electric functional toys and to experimental sets. The aim of this standard is to reduce risks when playing with toys, especially those risks which are not evident to users. This standard covers the whole range of electric toys from small button cell operated lights to large sit-on cars powered by lead-acid cells. It applies to new toys but also takes into account the wear and tear of toys in use. Toys using electricity for functions other than the principal function are within the scope of this standard. If the packaging in which the toy is sold is also intended to be played with, it is considered to be part of the toy.
