CEN和CENELEC总干事埃琳娜.圣地亚哥.希德(Elena Santiago Cid)女士受邀出席由欧洲业界领先的“欧洲气球和工党”在专题讲座中发表了演讲。此次活动将于2018年1月31日至2月4日在纽伦堡将举办世界最大的玩具展,而此次专家会谈活动也将在此期间举行。
今年,专家会谈的焦点将是和气球与派对行业相关的主题,包括玩具行业中标准化的作用。
圣地亚哥(Santiago)女士将在2月1日发布关于欧洲玩具标准及其在全球影响的演讲,以及参与CEN和CENELEC欧洲标准制定所能获得的好处。
CEN/TC52“玩具安全”技术委员会秘书彼得.戴姆高尔特(Peter Damgaard)先生也将就该领域中标准化的重要性发表演讲,并将对当前项目进行概述。
关于玩具安全的欧洲标准是由CEN“玩具安全”技术委员会(CEN/TC 52)以及CENELEC“玩具”工作组(CLC/TC 61/WG 7)的专家制定。这些标准尊重欧洲法律(即《玩具安全指令》(2009/48/EC))的基本要求以及欧盟委员会的具体要求(比如EC445号指令)。
CEN与CENELEC已经制定并采用了与玩具及玩具安全各方面相关的欧洲标准,包括玩具的机械与物理特性、可燃性、特定元素的转移以及玩具中N-亚硝胺与N-亚硝基类物质的存在。
总而言之,圣地亚哥女士的参与以及贡献确保了欧洲标准对于获得市场准入的重要性,同时也在最大程度上保证了儿童的安全。
CEN and CENELEC’s standards for toys at the Pro Talks in Nuremberg
CEN and CENELEC Director General, Mrs Elena Santiago Cid, has been invited to be a speaker at the Pro Talks event organized by the Industry leading voice in Europe, the ‘European Balloon and Party Council’ (EBPC). This event will take place during the world’s largest Toy Fair in Nuremberg from 31 January to 4 February 2018.
Topics related to the balloon and party industry, including the role of Standardization in the Toy industry, will be the focus of the Pro Talks this year.
Mrs. Santiago will make a presentation on 1 February about European standards for toys and their global influence, as well as the benefits from being involved in the development of European standards with CEN and CENELEC.
Mr Peter Damgaard, CEN/TC 52 ‘Safety of Toys’ Secretary will also speak about the importance of standardization in this area and will give an overview of the current projects.
European Standards in relation to toy safety are developed by experts in the CEN Technical Committee ‘Safety of Toys’ (CEN/TC 52) and in the CENELEC Working Group ‘Toys’ (CLC/TC 61/WG 7). These standards respect the essential requirements of European legislation, namely the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) and specific requests from the European Commission (such as EC Mandate 445).
CEN and CENELEC have developed and adopted European Standards in relation to various aspects of toys and toy safety including: mechanical and physical properties of toys, flammability, migration of certain elements, and the presence of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances in toys.
Overall, the participation and contributions of Mrs Santiago Cid confirm how important European standards are to enable access to the market, and at the same time ensuring the highest levels of safety for children.
