Test your toys according to the relevant harmonized standards

To ensure that toys comply with safety regulations, they must be tested according to relevant harmonized standards that vary by region. In the European Union, the EN 71 series of standards is widely used, covering aspects such as mechanical and physical properties (EN 71-1), flammability (EN 71-2), and the migration of certain hazardous elements (EN 71-3), among others. For electrical toys, EN 62115 ensures compliance with electrical safety requirements. In the United States, toys must adhere to ASTM F963, which encompasses mechanical, physical, chemical, and electrical safety, including heavy metal limits and flammability requirements.

Prepare a declaration of conformity and affix the CE mark

To prepare a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and affix the CE mark to your toy product, you must first ensure that the product complies with the relevant European Union (EU) regulations, such as the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) and the harmonized standards like EN 71-1 (mechanical and physical properties), EN 71-2 (flammability), EN 71-3 (migration of certain elements), and EN 62115 (electrical safety for toys). The process begins with identifying the toy and confirming that it has been tested in accredited laboratories or through your own testing procedures to meet the required safety standards. Next, you must compile technical documentation, including test reports, design specifications, risk assessments, and any other relevant information, and maintain this file for at least 10 years after the product is placed on the market.

Keep a technical file and ensure traceability

Maintaining a technical file and ensuring traceability are essential components of regulatory compliance when placing a product on the market, especially for toys under EU regulations. The technical file should include all necessary documentation demonstrating that the toy meets the relevant safety standards and requirements. This may consist of design and manufacturing details, risk assessments, test reports, certifications, and the procedures used to assess conformity with standards such as EN 71-1, EN 71-2, EN 71-3, and EN 62115. It is crucial that the file is comprehensive and up-to-date, as it will serve as evidence of compliance in case of inspections or audits by regulatory authorities. Traceability ensures that each product can be linked to its specific batch or production run, allowing for quick identification of any issues or non-compliance that may arise.
