(2) Notice: ‘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’ — Commission Decision 2001/579/EC of 30 July 2001 (OJ L 205, 31.7.2001, p. 39).

(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: ‘Cup-shaped, bowl-shaped or one half of an egg-shaped toys having a nearly round, oval or elliptical opening which are intended for drinking, such as toy tea sets,
may present a risk for children health. These toys are not covered by the standard, therefore, these products must have an EC type examination certificate and the confor-
mity with the approved model must have been certified by the affixation of the EC marking.’ — Commission Decision 2007/184/EC of 23 March 2007 (OJ L 85,
27.3.2007, p. 7).

(5) Notice: ‘In case of projectiles toys with suction cups with an impact area, the requirement laid down in clause 4.17.1 (b), according to which the tension test is performed
in accordance with clause 8.4.2.3, does not cover the risk of asphyxiation presented by these toys.’ Commission Decision 2007/224/EC of 4 April 2007 (OJ L 96,
11.4.2007, p. 18).

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 The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its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 On the date stated, the superseded stand-
ard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

NOTE:

— Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from European Standardisation
Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to the Directive 98/34/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council amended by the Directive 98/48/EC.

— Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available

in all the Community languages.
