EN71-2 Comprehensive Flammability Tester is a testing equipment used to determine the flammability of toys according to the European Standard EN71-2:2011+A1:2014. This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the flammability of toys, including ignition sources, flame spread, and time of burning.
The EN71-2 Comprehensive Flammability Tester consists of a combustion chamber, a burner, a thermocouple, and a control unit. The toy to be tested is placed in the combustion chamber, and the burner is ignited to simulate the potential fire hazard. The thermocouple measures the temperature rise during the test, and the control unit records the time to ignition, time of burning, and other parameters.
The EN71-2 Comprehensive Flammability Tester is designed to ensure the safety of children's toys by testing their resistance to ignition and flame spread. The test results help manufacturers, importers, and retailers to determine if their products comply with the safety requirements and regulations of the European Union.
It is important to note that the EN71-2 Comprehensive Flammability Tester is only one of several tests required to evaluate the safety of toys. Other tests may include mechanical and chemical testing, as well as testing for choking hazards and other potential dangers.
