The EN 14372 standard, a European standard, describes the relevant safety requirements for the materials, structure, performance, packaging and labeling of cutlery and feeding utensils, and defines test methods. All products intended for a child up to 36 months to eat on their own or with the assistance of another person fall within the scope of this standard. This standard also covers products that have a different primary function, but a secondary function of allowing a child to use the product alone or with the assistance of another person while eating.
However, this standard does not apply to pre-prepared food containers, or to cutlery and nutritional utensils designed for special medical applications or for use under medical supervision.
Some products designed as toys or with features similar to a toy must also meet the relevant requirements of the EN 71 standard (EN 71 Toy safety standard).
