Toy Safety: En 62115 Electrical Features

EN 62115 is a standard that deals with the safety of electrically powered toys. The purpose of this standard is to limit the potential risks to children and users when using electrical toys. EN 62115 specifies specific requirements that must be considered during the design and manufacture of such toys.

**The main focuses of EN 62115 are:**

1. **General Requirements**: Electric toys must meet general safety requirements to ensure that children and users are not exposed to any danger during use.

2. **Battery and Battery**: Batteries or batteries used in toys must be safe so that they do not pose a hazard, especially in case of overcharging or short circuit. It is important that the battery compartment is also inaccessible to children.

3. **Heating and Hot Surfaces**: Electric toys should not overheat in operation. Hot parts of toys must not be accessible to children or rise above a certain temperature limit.

4. **Electric Shock Risk**: The design of electric toys should prevent children from direct electric contact. Electrical components or cables inside toys should not be easily accessed.

5. **Radio Frequency (RF) Emissions**: Electric toys must not generate radio frequency emissions that may be harmful to human health.

6. **Mechanical and Physical Requirements**: Electrical toys must also comply with the mechanical and physical safety requirements specified in EN 71-1.

7. **Software and Programming**: For toys with electronic or programmable features, the software or its programming must not cause any hazardous situation to the toy.

8. **Labeling and Directions for Use**: Electric toys must come with labels and instructions for use containing all the information necessary for their safe use and maintenance.

Compliance of electric toys with EN 62115 standard is important for manufacturers. This standard defines specific requirements to ensure the safe use of toys. It is critical for children's safety that manufacturers make sure their products meet these standards.
