CE Marking of Toys
Ensure the Safety of Your Toys with Sertifike
The safety of toys is a top priority when it comes to children’s well-being. If you are a manufacturer or distributor of toys in the European Union (EU), it’s crucial to ensure that your toys comply with the strict safety standards set forth by Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys. CE certification is a mandatory requirement for toys placed on the EU market, and this certification demonstrates that your products meet the necessary safety and quality criteria.

Harmonised Standards
“The 2009/48/EC Toy Safety Directive adopts a series of harmonized standards for toy safety. These standards define specific criteria and requirements for the design, production, and testing of toys. Harmonized standards are referred to when determining whether a product complies with this directive. However, these standards can be updated and changed over time, so it is important to pay attention to the latest updates.
Some examples of harmonized standards may include:
- EN 71 series: This series includes a range of European standards related to toy safety. Standards such as EN 71-1, EN 71-2, and EN 71-3 specifically address physical, mechanical, and chemical risks.
- EN 62115: A standard for the safety of electric toys.
- EN 60825: Defines safety requirements for laser toys.
- EN 50088: Addresses the safe use of magnets in toys.
Nevertheless, to verify which harmonized standards apply to a specific type of toy or product, it is important to consult relevant regulations and current standards. Additionally, these standards provide guidance on how toys should be tested and assessed for specific risks.”
