Join our in-house toy experts to explore the various standards and regulations applicable to electrical and electronic toys destined for the European market.

Electronic Toys and EU Regulations

Electronic and electrical (EE) toys help children develop their imagination, language skills, dexterity and more, through fun, role-playing and education. Improperly used or badly designed these toys can rapidly turn from a source of fun into a serious hazard. Adding electricity to a toy, either battery or transformer supply, presents a number of risks to children including: electric shocks, and burns, especially if a product has a heating element.

During this webinar, relevant to all stakeholders active in the toy industry, we will look at the range of EU regulations that exist to protect children from harm, and their key requirements:

  • European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC
  • Harmonized electrical toy standard EN 62115
  • EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
  • RoHS2 Directive 2011/65/EU
  • WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU
  • Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU

Find out which requirements and regulations need to be taken into account to deliver safe products, with SGS. Our complimentary webinar, led by toy experts, will help attendees to better understand how electrical safety impacts products.
