IEC 62115-ed.2.0

Annotation of standard text IEC 62115-ed.2.0 :

IEC 62115:2017 specifies safety requirements for electric toys that have at least one function dependant on electricity, electric toys being any product designed or intended, whether or not exclusively, for use in play by children under 14 years of age. Examples of electric toys also within the scope of this standard are: - constructional sets; - experimental sets; - functional electric toys (an electric toy that performs and is used in the same way as a product, appliance or installation intended for use by adults, and which may be a scale model of such product, appliance or installation); - electric toy computers as well as a dolls house having an interior lamp. If the packaging is intended to have play value then it is considered to be part of the electric toy. This International Standard only covers the safety aspects of electric toys that relate to an electrical function. This standard covers the safety of electric toys taking power from any source, such as batteries, transformers, solar cells and inductive connections. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003, Amendment 1 (2004) and Amendment 2 (2010). This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the general conditions for tests has been rewritten and modified (Clause 5); - the criteria for reduced testing has been modified (Clause 6); - warnings for toys using button batteries or coin batteries have been added (7.3.3.2, 7.3.3.3); - warnings on ride-on toys have been added (7.5); - the requirements concerning accessibility of batteries have been updated (13.4.1 and 13.4.2); - added requirements to cover toys placed above a child (13.4.4); - added requirements to cover toys connected to other equipment (13.9); - modified the requirements for safety of toys incorporating optical radiation sources (Annex E), to include requirements for using the technical LED data sheet for checking compliance with the specified accessible emission limits (AEL); - updated the details for measurements of the optical radiation from the toy (Annex E); - introduced an informative Annex I concerning measurement methods for toys with an integrated field source generating EMF; - included a normative Annex J concerning safety of remote-controls for electric ride-on toys. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication. Key words: Safety, Electric Toys The contents of the corrigendum of August 2019 apply to the French text only. IEC 62115:2017 definit les exigences de securite applicables aux jouets electriques qui ont au moins une fonction dependant de lelectricite, un jouet electrique designant tout produit concu ou destine, exclusivement ou non, a etre utilise a des fins de jeu par des enfants de moins de 14 ans. Exemples de jouets electriques egalement compris dans le domaine dapplication de la presente norme: - les coffrets de construction, - les coffrets dexperiences, - les jouets electriques fonctionnels (un jouet electrique qui a une fonction et une utilisation similaires a un produit, un appareil ou une installation destine a etre utilise par les adultes, et qui peut etre un modele reduit dun tel produit, appareil ou installation), - les ordinateurs jouets electriques et - une maison de poupee ayant une lampe a linterieur. Si lemballage est destine a etre utilise comme jouet electrique, il est alors considere comme faisant partie du jouet electrique. La presente Norme internationale traite uniquement des aspects de la securite des jouets electriques qui ont une fonction dependant de l’electricite. La presente norme traite des aspects de la securite des jouets electriques alimentes par nimporte quelle source, telle que des piles ou accumulateurs, des transformateurs, des piles photovoltaiques et des connexions inductives. Cette deuxieme edition annule et remplace la premiere edition parue en 2003, lAmendement 1 (2004) et lAmendement 2 (2010). Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: - les conditions generales pour les essais ont ete reformulees et modifiees (Article 5); - les criteres visant a limiter le nombre dessais ont ete modifies (Article 6); - des mises en garde concernant les jouets utilisant des piles boutons ou des accumulateurs boutons ont ete ajoutees (7.3.3.2, 7.3.3.3); - des mises en garde concernant les jouets porteurs ont ete ajoutees (7.5); - les exigences concernant laccessibilite des piles ou accumulateurs ont ete mises a jour (13.4.1 et 13.4.2); - exigences ajoutees pour tenir compte des jouets places au-dessus dun enfant (13.4.4); - exigences ajoutees pour tenir compte des jouets raccordes a un autre equipement (13.9); - modification des exigences relatives a la securite des jouets comportant des sources de rayonnement optique (Annexe E) pour inclure des exigences relatives a lutilisation des fiches techniques des LED en vue de verifier la conformite aux limites demission accessible (LEA) specifiees; - mise a jour des informations concernant les mesurages du rayonnement optique emis par le jouet (Annexe E); - introduction dune Annexe I informative concernant les methodes de mesure applicables aux jouets avec une source de champ integree generant des champs electromagnetiques; - insertion dune Annexe J normative concernant la securite des telecommandes pour les jouets porteurs ele
