This European Standard applies to toys for children, toys being any product or material designed or clearly intended for use in play by children of less than 14 years. It applies to new toys taking into account the period of foreseeable and normal use, and that the toys are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the normal behaviour of children.
