- Symbiote 5y agoJust buy a toy tested according to European Union standards, and labelled with the "CE" mark. > Drop the toy, or the relevant toy component, five times through a height of (850 ± 50) mm on to a 4 mm thick steel plate with a 2 mm thick coating of Shore A hardness (75 ± 5) as measured according to EN ISO 868 or ISO 7619-2 and which is placed on a non-flexible horizontal surface. > Prior to release, orientate the toy in a position that allows the most onerous impact onto the coated surface of the steel plate. (850mm is 2¾ ft.)
