    Free Webinar: Ensuring Toy Safety and Compliance
    For the European Market

    Product Safety Issues Identified in the EU & The Directives & Standards

    Toy safety has become an issue frequently drawn to the public’s attention. Toys are a child’s best friend, meaning they spend a lot of time in close contact. Due to this, some of the most stringently regulated products are now toys and children’s products. Since toys have become highly regulated throughout the world, with these frequently updated, manufacturers, buyers, and retailers must comply and stay current with the increasingly rigid and complex regulations.

    The European Union (EU) defines toys as any product or material designed or intended, exclusively or not, for use in play by children under 14 years. Ensuring that toys marketed in the EU do not put children at risk is a priority. It is also an essential requirement for all manufacturers and exporters aiming to enter the EU markets. EN71 is a set of European product safety standards that applies to all toys sold in the European Union. This webinar aims to explain all kinds of questions related to the European Toy Safety regulations and Standards.
