Certified toys – a guarantee of quality and safety

Shortcuts

Toy safety is more than just meeting standards – it’s about ensuring children’s carefree play and giving parents peace of mind. Through advanced testing and rigorous certifications, modern toys not only delight the eyes but also guarantee non-toxicity, durability, and compliance with the highest safety standards. This combines the passion of designers with the responsibility of manufacturers, ensuring every moment of play is perfectly safe.

Why is toy certification so important?

Safe toys are the foundation of children’s harmonious development. Testing and certifying products guarantee that they meet national and international safety standards. This minimizes the risks associated with their use – whether mechanical, chemical, or electrical.

RoHS testing in electronic and electrical toys

For electronic and electrical toys, tests in accordance with the RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) are particularly important. These tests analyze the presence of dangerous substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and certain harmful phthalates and brominated compounds.

Why is this so important? Such toys expose children to direct contact with materials that may be toxic or cause allergic reactions. It’s common to find cases where the levels of hazardous substances exceed permissible limits. Research conducted by RCC has shown that even minor exceedances can pose a risk to children’s health, particularly with long-term use.

The RoHS testing process

RoHS tests conducted by RCC include detailed chemical analyses of the materials used in toy production. Individual components of toys – such as plastic, metal, electronics, and paint coatings – are thoroughly analyzed.

Exceeding safety standards – a common issue

Manufacturers, particularly those outside the European Union, do not always comply with strict RoHS standards, which leads to the introduction of toys that fail to meet safety requirements. RCC regularly encounters cases of excessive levels of heavy metals or carcinogenic phthalates, which can be extremely dangerous for children.

Certification carried out by RCC is not just a document confirming compliance with standards – it’s a real safeguard against the risks posed by unsuitable products.

Investing in safety

RoHS testing is not merely a formality; it is a guarantee for manufacturers, importers, and consumers that the product is fully safe and compliant with international standards. Collaborating with RCC provides comprehensive support in testing, analysis, and certification, helping to avoid legal issues, product recalls, and – most importantly – safeguarding children’s health.
