The European Union (EU) has made four changes to its
list of standards that are taken to demonstrate conformity with Directive
2009/48/EC, the so-called European Toy Safety Directive (TSD).
Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1992 was published on
November 16, 2021. It repeals Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/867 and includes
four updates to the standards for presumption of conformity:
- EN 71-2:2020 for
flammability - EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021
for migration of certain elements - EN 71-4:2020 for
experimental sets for chemistry and related activities, and - EN 71-13:2021 for
olfactory board games, cosmetic kits and gustative games

Previous iterations of these standards will be
withdrawn on May 15, 2022:
- EN 71-2:2011+A1:2014
- EN 71-3:2019
- EN 71-4:2013
- EN 71-13:2014
