EN71, CA65, CPSIA Explained

If your figure is marketed to under-14 audiences, you almost certainly need these certifications. Here is what each one covers.

EN71 (Europe)

European toy safety standard. EN71-1 covers mechanical/physical, EN71-2 covers flammability, EN71-3 covers migration of specific elements (heavy metals).

CA65 (California, USA)

California Proposition 65 requires warning labels or testing against a list of 900+ chemicals. Most toy categories need lead and phthalate compliance.

CPSIA (USA federal)

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act targets lead content and phthalates in children's products. Requires a General Certificate of Conformity (GCC).
