A Comprehensive Analysis of EN71 Testing for EVA Foam Floor Mats: Guaranteeing Safety and Quality

As parents and caregivers become increasingly aware of the importance of safe environments for children, EVA foam floor mats have emerged as a popular solution for both homes and public activity areas. Their soft texture, non-slip surface, and easy-to-clean nature make them ideal for active play. However, when exporting these products to the European Union, compliance with the EN71 standard is critical.

At Honloy, we are proud to share that our EVA foam floor mats have successfully passed the required EN71 Parts 1, 2, and 3 tests, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety and compliance for children's products.

What Is EN71?

EN71, or the European Toy Safety Standard, is a series of regulations designed to ensure the safety of toys sold in the EU. While our foam mats are often used in environments where children play, they are subject to these strict guidelines to prevent any potential harm. EN71 covers a wide range of safety aspects, including mechanical risks, flammability, and chemical content.

EN71-1: Mechanical and Physical Properties

This section focuses on the structural integrity of toys and related products. Testing includes:

• Drop testing to simulate real-life handling and accidental falls

• Small parts testing to prevent choking hazards

• Sharp edges and points testing to avoid injuries from unintended sharp surfaces

Our mats are designed to withstand pressure and usage without breaking into hazardous pieces, ensuring children's safety during play.

EN71-2: Flammability

Fire safety is crucial, especially for products used in children's spaces. EN71-2 assesses how quickly materials ignite and how flames spread:

• Our foam mats are made with flame-retardant materials, which significantly slow down ignition and prevent rapid flame propagation.

• This performance minimizes the risk of fire-related accidents and enhances overall indoor safety.

EN71-3: Chemical Safety

Children often interact closely with their environment, making chemical safety a top priority. EN71-3 evaluates the migration of 19 potentially toxic elements, including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury:

• Our materials undergo comprehensive lab testing that simulates skin contact and oral exposure.

• The results confirm that harmful substances are well below the permissible limits, ensuring the product poses no threat to children's health.

Tested and Certified by BUREAU VERITAS

Honloy's EVA foam floor mats have been officially tested and certified by BUREAU VERITAS, a globally recognized third-party inspection and certification authority. The EN71 compliance test report bears the certification number (9124)024-0193, confirming our product's adherence to the EU's stringent toy safety standards.

This trusted certification offers strong assurance to consumers, partners, and distributors worldwide.

A Transparent Testing Process that Builds Trust

To further enhance transparency and build consumer trust, we provide full access to our quality control procedures:

• From raw material inspection to production monitoring and final product testing, every stage is carefully controlled.

• Our technical team provides detailed explanations and demonstrations of the EN71 compliance measures during factory audits and client visits.

This commitment to transparency not only highlights our product quality but also reflects Honloy’s dedication to global safety standards and responsible manufacturing.
