Safety of toys – N-Nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2017 | 36 |
This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances for:
-
toys and parts of toys made from elastomers and intended for use by children under 36 months;
-
toys and parts of toys made from elastomers and intended to be placed in the mouth;
-
finger paints for children under 36 months.
Examples of toys made from elastomers are balloons and teethers.
With regard to elastomers, up to now N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances have mainly been detected in vulcanized materials.
