EU Toys Directive to expand the scope of nickel exemption
Following the advice from its Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER), the Commission proposes to extends the current exemption on nickel in stainless steel to include parts of toys that allow the correct electric function of toys. If adopted, this amendment will not preclude the REACH restriction on nickel which also applies to toys.
The amendment is expected to be adopted in mid 2014 and the requirements will enter into force 12 months after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
