This guidance should be read in conjunction with any harmonised / designated standard that is directly applicable to the product such as EN71-7 for finger paints or EN71-5 for plastic moulding sets.

This guidance does not include cosmetic toys within its scope as specific BTHA guidance is available.

Formulated toy products usually consist of one or more mixtures which may be solids, liquids, or powders.
