The UNE EN 71-3 Standard is part of a series of European regulations that guarantee the safety of toys. This standard focuses on the migration of certain chemical elements and sets strict limits for the amount of heavy metals that can be released from toys and similar materials, such as the paints used in them.
Complying with the UNE EN 71-3 Standard for paints means that the formulations have been evaluated and comply with the permitted safety limits for the presence of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, tin and cobalt, among others. This compliance ensures that the products are safe for use in contexts where they may be in contact with children, ensuring that they do not present risks of poisoning or damage to health due to the migration of these elements.

Our tinting systems comply with the EN 71-3 Standard, offering formulations that ensure the absence of heavy metals and are designed for care and protection in children's contexts.
