European standards applied to our products at Trois Kilos Sept
Baby sleeping bag safety criteria according to NF EN 16781 : 2018 standard
All our sleeping bags for baby girls or boys comply with the NF EN 16781 : 2018 standard
This standard ensures that the sleeping bag poses no danger to your child during sleep. To comply, it must meet safety requirements to avoid the main risks:
- suffocation: the neckline of the sleeping bag must be adjusted to your baby's neck according to their age, to prevent them from slipping inside and suffocating,
- hyperthermia: excessively high temperature. The thermal resistance measurement called TOG is a reference indicator for finding the ideal sleeping bag according to the temperature of the baby's room and the seasons. (For example, a 0.5 tog corresponds to a summer sleeping bag, a 2 tog: a mid-season sleeping bag, a 3 tog: a winter sleeping bag.
- chemical risks: the product must not contain any harmful substances that can come into contact with baby's skin.
- non-flammability of materials
- injuries related to the presence of zippers and snap buttons (cuts or ingestion of small parts)
Safety criteria for crib bumpers and rail guards according to NF EN 16780 : 2018 standard
This standard ensures that the design and materials of cot bumpers and crib rail covers for babies pose no danger to your child during sleep. To comply, they must meet safety requirements to avoid the main risks:
- suffocation and strangulation: solid fastening to prevent the product from collapsing and covering your baby, and no access to cords that could strangle them.
- falls: a height adapted to the position of the bed base, so that the child cannot use it as a foothold and allow the child to climb and get out of the bed.
- chemical risks: the product must not contain any harmful substances that can come into contact with baby's skin.
- non-flammability of materials
Baby duvet safety criteria according to NF EN 16779-1 : 2018 standard
Our warm baby duvet complies with the NF EN 16779-1 : 2018 standard, which applies to duvets for children from 12 months to 3 years old.
This standard guarantees:
- Good breathability to avoid suffocation risks.
- An appropriate thermal insulation to prevent overheating.
- The absence of toxic products in fabrics and padding.
- Non-flammability
Safety criteria for changing mats according to the NF EN 12221 : 2023 standard
Like all of our products, our changing mats undergo numerous safety tests and comply with current standards.
In Europe, the current standard is EN 12221, which applies to changing mats and other similar devices for children up to 9 kg. This standard ensures:
- Stability: The mat must be designed to avoid tipping risks when used on a changing device or elevated surface in a domestic environment.
- Strength: It must support the weight of a baby up to 9 kilos without deforming or deteriorating.
- Secure materials: Mats must be free from chemicals, formaldehyde, phthalates or harmful flame retardants.
- Non-flammable materials
- Ergonomic design: The changing mat should be large enough for your child to extend their arms, hands, and legs. To prevent rolling and the risk of falling, it must have raised edges to support them in a lying position and prevent the risk of falling.
These standards ensure maximum safety, which is essential when baby starts moving unpredictably.
The addition of changing mats to the European standard for domestic changing devices EN 1222-1 : 2023 is currently in progress. We haven't waited for the publication of the standard to implement necessary tests to evaluate the risks of falling, toxicity, and flammability of our products in laboratory conditions.
Because every baby purchase deserves careful consideration, we explain the importance of the changing mat in a dedicated article.
Safety criteria for silicone tableware according to the NF EN 14372 : 2004 standard
Our silicone plates, cutlery and cups for children comply with the NF EN 14372 : 2004 standard, which ensures that the safety requirements for materials, construction, and performance of cutlery and tableware intended for use by children under 36 months to eat alone or with the help of another person are met. Specifically:
- No component should break, tear, or separate (risks of injury or ingestion of small elements)
- Materials in contact with food must be free from substances harmful to baby's health (BPA-free, phthalate-free, and other contents).
- Utensils are required to be washable (for hygiene), functional: suitable for reheating food, ergonomic, and designed for small hands and first food discoveries.
Safety criteria for baby toys
All our baby developmental toys bear the CE marking, which means they comply with European safety standards, including the 3 main ones:
- EN 71-1 : 2014+A1 : 2018: mechanical and physical properties
- Hazard assessment: seam strength, stability (for rocking), entrapment, crushing, strangulation, choking, suffocation (ingestion of small parts), cuts, injuries, electric shock, burns, hearing disorders ….
- It includes specific requirements for toys intended for children under 36 months, children under 18 months, and those too young to sit up unaided. According to Directive 2009/48/EC, "intended for use by" means that parents or supervisors should be able to reasonably deduce from the functions, dimensions and characteristics of a toy that it is intended for use by children in the indicated age category. Therefore, for the purposes of this European Standard, soft stuffed toys with simple functions to hold and cuddle, for example, are considered toys intended for children under 36 months.
- EN 71-2:2020: non-flammability
- EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021: testing for the absence of heavy metals (aluminum, cadmium, chromium, etc.)
As well as the absence of toxic, carcinogenic and extremely concerning substances in all types of materials (textiles, plastics, silicone...) that endanger your baby's health and the environment.
