On Sept. 10, 2025, the European Commission (EC) published Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1785 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/740 as it applies to the harmonized standards for certain ride-on toys (wave rollers).

The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/740 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision. Specifically, row 1 is replaced by the following: EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018 Safety of toys – Part 1: Mechanical and physical properties.

  • Restriction: As regards clauses 3.19 (definition of ‘driving mechanism’) and 4.15.1 for wave rollers (a ride-on toy where the child is seated, the steering and propulsion of which are controlled with the feet, and which have wheels within reach during use)

Harmonized standard EN 71-1:2014+A1:2018 does not confer a presumption of conformity with the essential safety requirements set out in Article 10(2) of Directive 2009/48/EC and Part I, point 3, of Annex II to that Directive.
