Toy Safety Testing Solutions
The requirements for Toy Safety become increasingly stringent every day from quality, design and development to testing and evaluations
Many countries have established their own safety regulations such as CPSIA, GB, and EU Toy Directive for these items, and companies must ensure that their products comply with the relevant standards before their goods can be sold in these locations. Manufacturers have been held liable for injuries and fatalities resulting from design flaws, use of unsuitable materials, and substandard production.
