Service Overview:

Among the technical regulations related to toys in the European Union, the most important one is the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. It stipulates the safety quality requirements and the conformity assessment procedures for toys. All toys entering the EU market must first meet the requirements of this directive. The specific technical details are determined through the harmonized standards EN 71 series and EN 62115. The EN 71 series standards detail the requirements for physical properties, flammability, labels, etc., while EN 62115 stipulates the relevant safety requirements for electronic toys. In addition, toys must also comply with other EU regulation, such as the REACH regulation, POPs regulation, RoHS directive, etc.

Range of application:

Applicable to all toys, namely those designed for children under the age of 14, or products intended for their play, regardless of whether they are specifically designed for them or intended for their use.
