The materials and parts of toys applies to the combustion performance (4.2) and Annex B in this standard:
--are clothes worn by the child(disguise costumes), especially where capes, flowing dresses and similar articles are include
--a child could enter, such as play tents and play houses
--a child cuddles(filled soft toys)
--are worn but take the form of masks, wigs, etc.
Toys materials and parts applied to the migration of the given elements (4.3) and Annex C in this standard:
--Coatings of paints, varnishes, lacquers, printing links, polymers and similar coatings.
--Polymeric and similar materials, including laminates, whether textile-reinforced or not, but excluding other textiles.
--Paper and paper board, up to a maximum mass per unit area of 400 g/m2.
--Nature or synthetic textiles;
--Glass/ceramic/metallic materials, excepting lead solder when used for electrical connections.
--Other material, whether mass-coloured or not (e.g. wood, fibreboard, hardboard, bone and leather);
--Materials intended to leave a trace(e.g. the graphite materials in pencils and liquid ink in pens)
--Pliable modeling materials, including modeling clays, and gels;
