CE Testing Standards for Luminous Toys Exported to the EU: EN 71-1, EN 71-2, EN 71-3
In addition to CE certification, toys exported to Europe must have an EU importer.
To better protect EU consumers and the environment and to achieve product traceability, EU regulations require that products bearing the CE mark and placed on the EU market must be labeled with the manufacturer’s name and contact address. If the manufacturer is from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA, including the EU and EFTA), the product must also display the name and contact address of both the manufacturer and the EU Authorized Representative.
The New Approach Directive (EU Authorized Representative Directive (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020)) requires that the EU Authorized Representative must be located within the European Economic Area and have a commercial registered address.
Requirements and Obligations of the EU Authorized Representative:
1. The EU Representative must be a natural or legal person within the EU.
2. The EU Representative must be authorized by the manufacturer.
3. Responsibilities of the EU Representative:
a. Review the technical documentation or declaration of conformity to ensure compliance with relevant EU regulations and harmonized standards.
b. Provide necessary information and documentation to market surveillance authorities promptly upon request.
c. Proactively report to market surveillance authorities if aware of any risks associated with the product.
d. Ensure immediate corrective measures are taken when product issues arise.
4. The CE mark and EU Representative information—name or company name or registered trademark, contact details, and mailing address—must be displayed on the product or packaging, the parcel, or accompanying documents.
