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 Examples of toys made from elastomers are balloons and teethers
