European Toy Safety Directive introduces stricter safety requirements
The revised European Toy Safety Directive came into force on 20 July 2011. In this directive, the EU Commission introduces even stricter requirements for the safety of toys. The key instrument according to TÜV SÜD is extensive risk assessment, which the manufacturers must carry out in future.
Directive 2009/48/EC is the first to be designed in accordance with the 'Goods Package', a package of laws that bundles various approaches to improve product safety. "The comprehensive risk assessment required from the manufacturers within the scope of technical documentation is one of the biggest challenges", notes Robert Ziegler, expert in toy safety at TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH. "The range of risk assessment criteria extends from mechanical to hygiene hazards. Manufacturers must also take into account the foreseeable misuse of toys."
