Join this webinar to learn about the latest changes to chemical and electrical requirements of the European Toy Safety Directive and other current EU requirements for toy safety.
Toy regulations are subject to constant revisions, particularly in the European Union where regulations are very strict. As essential tools for child development, their safety specifications are complex. This webinar will be essential for manufacturers, distributers and buyers looking to gain understanding of the current classification of chemicals, restricted substances and electrical safety in toys under the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. It will also focus on harmonized standards for presumption of conformity and other pieces of EU legislation that are mandatory for the toy industry.
