Since the EU proposed the revision of the Toy Safety Directive in March 2024, the coordinated standards of the Toy Safety Directive have been continuously updated. On February 26, 2025, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) released three toy testing method standards：
EN 71-15:2025 Safety of toys – Part 15: Formamide in foam toy materials (content) ；
EN 71-16:2025 Safety of toys – Part 16: Certain chlorinated phosphorus flame retardants (TCEP, TCPP, TDCP) in toy materials ；
EN 71-17:2025 Safety of toys – Part 17: Certain isothiazolinones (MIT, CIT, BIT) in aqueous toy materials .
These three testing standards differ from the previous EN71-9, EN71-10, and EN71-11 in that they will be given the status of national standards of CEN member countries, and conflicting national standards are expected to be replaced by August 31, 2025 at the latest. The three standards will be cited as coordinated standards by toy regulations and published in the official EU gazette.
