Paragraph 1 F1
Toys must not constitute a dangerous flammable element in the child's environment. They must therefore be composed of materials which fulfil one or more of the following conditions:
they do not burn if directly exposed to a flame or spark or other potential source of fire;
they are not readily flammable (the flame goes out as soon as the fire cause disappears);
if they do ignite, they burn slowly and present a low rate of spread of the flame;
irrespective of the toy's chemical composition, they are designed so as to mechanically delay the combustion process.
Such combustible materials must not constitute a risk of ignition for other materials used in the toy.
