EU Toy Safety Directive / Bureau Veritas Solution

The Challenge: Complying with the EU Toy Safety Directive

In today's globalized world, the provision of safe, compliant and quality products, as well as supply chain risk management, fundamentally relies on good process controls and information management - maintaining knowledge of changing regulatory requirements.

The EU Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on 30 June 2009. This new Directive places a host of new responsibilities on manufacturers, importers and retailers of toys that are destined for sale in the European market.

With many of the new measures of the Directive starting to have an impact on business as soon as July 2011, it is critical that companies understand their obligations, the ramifications of these changes, and act accordingly if they are to protect their businesses.
