Overview
Toys are one of the most wide ranging categories of consumer
products encompassing everything from small soft filled toys to
complex radio controlled electrical items to multi-activity climbing
frames and swing combinations. Understandably they are one of the
most closely controlled product groups in terms of safety.
The safety of toys within Europe is governed by the Toy Safety
Directive, which lays down the legal requirements covering the safety
of toys, their labelling and the obligations on manufacturers, importers
and retailers. The directive is supported by various standards, which
detail the specific requirements in terms of mechanical and electrical
safety, flammability and chemical hazards.
|
This seminar will consider what products are covered by this directive
and the role of standards in the context of the Toy Directive. An
overview will be given of the requirements of the standards as well as
considering other standards that may be relevant to certain types of
toys.
Samples will be available to illustrate various points along with test
equipment and a tour of our facilities.
