Transcript
The Toy Safety Directive is the EU's dedicated safety law for products designed or intended for play by children under fourteen.
It applies to manufacturers, importers and distributors of toys. Public playground equipment, some sports equipment and collectors' scale models are excluded.
The Directive has applied since 2011. The new Toy Safety Regulation entered into force on 1 January 2026 and replaces it from 1 August 2030; until then the Directive is the law.
You need a documented safety assessment across every hazard, testing against the EN 71 standards, a notified body where the standards do not cover everything, technical documentation with an EU declaration of conformity, and CE marking, warnings and age marking in the local language.
Conphora maps your toys against the Directive, flags gaps in the safety assessment, EN 71 testing, warnings, CE marking and documentation, and alerts you to the transition to the new Regulation.
