Toy Testing

With thousands of toys entering the market on a daily basis, consumers need to be confident that the toys they are purchasing are safe. Toy safety is highly regulated and toy safety standards all round the world are constantly changing in both emerging and matured markets. Many countries have established their own toy safety standards that toy manufacturers, retailers and importers must comply with before market entry can be permitted.
