Toy products commonly follow a CE conformity process under applicable toy legislation.
General product-safety and market-surveillance duties can remain relevant depending on the product and risks.
Materials, coatings, plastics and other substances should be reviewed across the supply chain.
Potentially relevant for electrical and electronic content in the toy.
Potentially relevant if the toy uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, remote radio control or other intentional radio functions.
Potentially relevant when batteries are supplied with or built into the toy.
Evidence worth preparing
Questions that change the compliance path
- What is the intended age range?
- Are small parts or accessible batteries present?
- Does the toy contain Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or remote-control radio functions?
- Can the child access the battery compartment?
- Which materials and coatings may contact the child?
Frequently asked questions
Does adding electronics change toy compliance?
Yes. Electronic functions can introduce additional electrical, substance, battery or radio-equipment compliance areas beyond the toy-safety assessment.
What if the toy has Bluetooth?
Bluetooth functionality can make the Radio Equipment Directive an additional conformity framework for the finished product.
Why is age grading important?
Age grading affects foreseeable use, hazard analysis, warnings and the safety evidence expected for the toy.
