Complex laboratory tests and expert services to protect children
Toy and childcare product testing helps your business meet the market’s increasing demands for safety and quality. In order to avoid risks to children and babies, such as choking or harmful substance migration, manufacturers and distributors must ensure that the raw materials used in products and the product design concepts are safe.
Toys and childcare products must comply with several national, EU and other countries' legal requirements, such as:
In addition, according to various international regulations such as REACH (EC) 1907/2006, toys may not contain certain chemical substances (eg heavy metals, allergenic and carcinogenic dyes, azo dyes, formaldehyde, etc) or may contain them only to a limited extent. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are all responsible for the quality and safety of toys, so all actors in the supply chain must ensure the conformity of products.
We offer a comprehensive service portfolio for the toy industry such as tests, certification and expert services. We subject toys and childcare products to rigorous chemical and physical testing in our accredited laboratories.
