USA THIRD PARTY TESTING REQUIREMENT
WARNING FOR US TOYSThe Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) requires small parts hazard warning label on certain toys and games intended for children over 3 but not older than 6 years. It also specifies cautionary labeling is required on small balls ( with a diameter of 1.75" or less ), balloons, and marbles.The warning must be conspicuous on the principal display panel, as well as on any accompanying literature ( i.e. instructions ).
Note:
1) The exclamation mark inside the equilateral triangle must be at least half the height of the triangle.
2) The signal word “WARNING” must be separated from the triangle (distance f) by at least the size of the
first letter of the signal word. i.e. “W”.
3) This statement layout can be in a square or rectangular shape, with or without border.

EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE – OVERVIEW EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE – OBLIGATIONS OF ECONOMIC OPERATORSThe TSD increases the level of responsibility. For each operator type there are obligations that they are legally required to meet when supplying or purchasing toys.
1 ) MANUFACTURER’S OBLIGATIONS
•Ensure toys comply with essential safety requirements•Perform safety assessment to identify hazards that a toy may
present•Draw technical documentation with stringent requirements for
chemicals ( keep 10 years )•Draw EC declaration of conformity ( keep 10 years )•Ensure production control•Type, batch number for identification•Name and address manufacturer•Test samples
2 ) IMPORTER’S OBLIGATIONS
•Place only compliant toys on the market•Check manufacturer used appropriate production control•Check manufacturer’s technical documentation and marking•Name and address importer•If appropriate test and investigate
3 ) DISTRIBUTOR’S OBLIGATIONS
•Make toys available on the market with due care to requirements applicable
•Verify CE - marking, EC declaration of conformity, relevant documen-tation, instructions supplied in relevant language( s ), type, batch number and manufacturer’s and importer’s name and address
TIMELINE
30th JUNE 2009
•New EU Toy Directive published in Official Journal of the EU
20th JULY 2011
•End of transitional period of 2 years
•Repeal Directive 88 / 378 / EEC ( except Annex II, Part 3 – Chemicals )
20th JULY 2013
•End of transitional period of 4 years
•Repeal chemical requirements of Directive 88 / 378 / EEC ( Annex II, Part 3 )
The objective of the Toy Safety Directive ( TSD ) is to ensure safe toys are placed on the European market.
EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE – SAFETY ASSESSMENT
The EU Toy Safety Directive defines a new obligation for all toys: all toys placed on the market after 20 July 2011 must have been subject to a safety assessment ( includes chemical safety assessment ). The toy should be designed in such a way that as many hazards as possible are eliminated or that residual risk is minimised to an acceptable level.
•Responsibility of the manufacturer•Must be provided upon request to the authorities in one of the official
languages of the Community ( 30 days or in the case of serious risk, in a shorter time )
•Must be kept for 10 years
Risk is defined as Hazard x Exposure
The safety assessment is therefore a form of risk assessment. It requires:
•Analysis of hazards ( chemical, physical, mechanical, electrical, flammability, hygiene and radioactivity ) that the toy may present to a child
•Analysis of potential exposure to these hazards ( normal, intended and foreseeable use bearing in mind behaviour of children ) by identifying the risks and solutions to limit flammability, radioactivity, hygiene hazards that a toy may present
The safety assessment enables to identify hazards ( going beyond standards ) and check that toys comply with the requirements.
14 15
EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE – EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
A REQUIREMENT FOR MANUFACTURERS
•It is a requirement set by the Toy Safety Directive 2009 / 48 / EC. When a toy is placed on the market, the manufacturer must draw up an EC Declaration of Conformity ( DoC ). By doing so, the manufacturer certifies and assumes responsibility for the compliance of the toy with the essential requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
•The manufacturer shall prepare a complete EC DoC, referring to all relevant standards including EMC, REACH, etc.
•The manufacturer shall translate the EC DoC in all languages of EU countries where the toy will be placed.
•The manufacturer shall sign the declaration.•The manufacturer shall keep the DoC for 10 years after the toy is put on the market in the
Technical Documentation. The importer must also keep a copy of the manufacturer’s DoC for a period of 10 years after the toy is put on the market.
•There is a requirement to continuously update the DoC should changes be necessary.
