PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT PT-TY-03 - EN71-3
PT-TY-03 focuses specifically on the third part of the European toy safety regulations, which are encompassed in EN71. Part 3 addresses the analysis and legal limits set for migratable elements. There are 19 analytes covered in this regulation, organotin compounds and 18 elemental parameters, including Chromium VI. The tests in the regulation are designed to mimic the extraction of these analytes during play, and product types are split into three categories (I, II & III) with different permitted limits for each category. We offer a range of different PT sample types for EN71-3 to cover all the product types routinely tested by consumer safety labs and, in each round, we provide 2 additional ‘standard solutions’ which are designed to look at the instrumentation side of the analysis. In combination with the ‘real’ samples, labs can easily determine where improvements may need to be made. 6 Rounds per Year
