SEPTEMBER 2022 - TOYS AND CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS
The United Kingdom (UK) Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has announced the first update1 to the designated standards in support of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1881). From 1 September 2022, toys intended for the Great Britain market which conform with the designated standards shall be presumed to comply with the essential safety requirements of the Regulations.
The new designated standard list follows the notice of proposal2 to reference the latest version of certain parts of toy standard EN 71. The adoption of these standards will bring the UK in line with the harmonised standards already referenced in the EU, except the EN IEC 62115:2020+A11:2020 for electrical toys which is assumed to be still awaiting designation.
