SA Toys general: Safety Assessment for toys
Article 18 of the revised Toy Safety Directive:
Manufacturers shall, before placing a toy on the market, carry out an analysis of the chemical, physical, mechanical, electrical, flammability, hygiene and radioactivity hazards that the toy may present, as well as an assessment of the potential exposure to such hazards.
THE MAIN AIM OF THE SAFETY ASSESSMENT IS TO IDENTIFY AND MINIMISE RISKS OF PRODUCT AND TO EVALUATE THAT NO HAZARDS ARE PRESENT THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY SAFETY STANDARDS.
