BS EN 71-4 This document specifies requirements for the maximum amount, and in some cases, the maximum concentration of certain substances and mixtures used in experimental sets for chemistry and related activities.
These substances and mixtures are:
— those classified as hazardous by the EC-legislation applying to hazardous substances and hazardous mixtures 111;
— substances and mixtures which in excessive amounts could harm the health of the children using them and which are not classified as hazardous by the above-mentioned legislation; and
— any other chemical substance(s) and mixture(s) delivered with the experimental set.
This document applies to experimental sets for chemistry and related activities including crystal growing sets, carbon dioxide generating experimental sets and supplementary sets. It also covers sets for chemical experiments within the fields of mineralogy, biology, physics, microscopy and environmental science whenever they contain one or more chemical substances and/or mixtures which are classified as hazardous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Lii.
This document also specifies requirements for marking, a contents list, Instructions for use, eye protection and for the equipment Intended for carrying out the experiments.
This document does not apply to combined sets, e.g. a combination of a chemistry set and a crystal growing set. It also does not apply to toys that are covered by EN 71-13 (e.g. cosmetic kits). Requirements for certain other chemical toys are given in EN 7 1-5.
NOTE The terms substance and preparation, are used in the REACH Regulation, Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 121. AccordIng to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of classification and labelling of chemicals. which in the European Union has been enacted by Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) (1J. the timetable for the introduction of GHS is followed. The words preparation’ and mixture’ are considered synonymous; both are a mixture or solution of substances that do not react with each other. The old term preparation will be replaced by the new term ‘mixture in due course. In this document, only the term mlxture is used.
