What EN 71 actually tests
Small parts, sharp edges, what leaches out. The three parts of the standard in plain words.
Made to be grown into
Cut for a child who is about to get taller
Turn-up cuffs, adjustable waists and a size band on every product page, so a coat lasts two winters instead of one.
Tested to EN 71-1, -2 and -3 by an accredited lab. The certificate and its date are on every product page.

Notes
Things worth knowing
-
-
Sizing by months, not by label
Why a 6-month size fits some four-month-olds, and the two measurements that settle it.
-
Washing muslin so it stays soft
Warm, no softener, shake it out. The routine, and why softener is the enemy.
Questions
What parents ask first
What age is it made for?
The tested range is printed in months on every product page — 0 to 6, 6 to 12, 12 to 24 — and the test standard is named beside it. Where a toy is not suitable under 36 months, the page says so in the first line, not the small print.
Which safety standards does it meet?
Toys are tested to EN 71 parts 1, 2 and 3 — mechanical, flammability and chemical — and the test date is on the product page. Textiles are OEKO-TEX Standard 100, class 1, which is the class for babies.
How do I wash it?
40 °C, normal cycle, with anything else. Line dry or tumble low. At 60 °C cotton jersey shrinks by about a size; the label says 40 for that reason, not for the colour.
Is it treated with anything?
No flame retardants, no formaldehyde finishes, no optical brighteners. Colours are low-impact reactive dyes, fixed and washed out before the garment is cut. The certificate on each page lists what was tested for.
