Note 1

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

| Note 3 | In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive. |

Note 3

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Notice: In accordance with the Commission Decision of 30 July 2001 (OJ L 205, 31.7.2001, p. 39), Clause 4.20(d) of EN 71-1:1998, concerning the C-weighted peak emission sound pressure level produced by a toy using percussion caps, grants presumption of conformity only as from 1 August 2001.

3

Notice: The standard EN 71-1:1998/A8:2003 only addresses the risks caused by ‘small balls’ (as defined in the standard as ‘spherical, ovoid, or ellipsoidal object’) that are designed or intended to be thrown, hit, kicked, rolled, dropped or bounced. Toys containing small balls which are not covered by the standard shall undergo an EC type-examination certificate before placed on the market.

4

Notice: In accordance with the Commission Decision of 9 March 2005 (OJ L 63, 10.3.2005, p. 27), Clause 4.6 of standard EN 71-1:1998 and Clause 8.14 thereof, in so far as it relates to the 24-hour period during which a toy must be submerged in a container, do not cover all the risks presented by toys and component parts of toys made of expanding materials. The standard does not give a presumption of conformity in that respect.
