Toy Safety Directive Certification

Toy Safety Directive Certification

Toy Safety Directive Certification

The Toy Safety Directive (TSD) is a critical framework that ensures toys are safe and suitable for their intended use. Compliance with this directive is mandatory in the European Union, making it essential for toy manufacturers to obtain certification to ensure product safety and market access. This service provides comprehensive testing and certification services to help you navigate the complexities of the TSD.

The TSD covers a wide range of requirements designed to protect children's health and safety during play. These requirements include chemical safety, mechanical resistance, electrical safety, flammability, and durability standards. To meet these stringent regulations, manufacturers must undergo rigorous testing at accredited laboratories that comply with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025.

The testing process involves a series of evaluations to ensure the toy meets all specified criteria. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Chemical analysis for hazardous substances
  • Mechanical stability checks
  • Electrical safety assessments
  • Flammability tests
  • Durability and wear resistance testing
  • Liquid retention tests (for soft toys)

The results of these tests are used to determine whether the toy complies with the TSD. Compliance ensures that your products can be marketed freely within the EU, enhancing consumer trust and protecting against potential legal issues.

Our team of experts will guide you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to final certification issuance. We use state-of-the-art equipment and employ highly skilled technicians to ensure accurate and reliable test results. Our commitment is to provide you with a seamless service that meets your business needs while ensuring compliance with TSD regulations.
