EU Toy Safety Directive

EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC services from SGS ensure toys comply and qualify for sale and distribution across the EU.

From design and production to the final product in store, toys must meet and demonstrate compliance to a complex combination of requirements.

Our global network of experts and testing laboratories can support toy manufacturers, importers and retailers to understand and fulfill their obligations at every stage of the supply chain.

The Toy Safety Directive aims to reduce toy related accidents by identifying hazards in toys, taking into account their foreseeable use and bearing in mind children’s behavior. It requires:

  • Economic operators to meet specific obligations
  • Compliance with stringent requirements (heavy metals, fragrances, etc.)
  • A safety assessment
  • A conformity assessment procedure
  • A complete technical documentation
  • A complete EC Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
  • Specific statements on the warnings

We can help. Our dedicated services for the EU Toy Safety Directive cover all your needs, from the concept/design stage of a product to its intended market:

  • Product testing (chemical, physical, mechanical, flammability, electrical safety, etc.)
  • Safety assessments (chemical, physical/mechanical, etc.)
  • Labeling and warnings review
