Screen Test >
The new limits and additional restrictions on various heavy metals that come into force in 2013 as part of the Directive will pose a significant challenge for suppliers of toys to the European market. Testing for every possible chemical risk could be prohibitively expensive for some products. Bureau Veritas have developed a screen test solution that can help you to understand where you should focus your time and money in this area to help mitigate some of the costs while also still helping to comply with the Directive - and bring safe products onto the market in a cost effective manner.

Safety Assessment >
In order to help address the latest requirements to of the Toy Safety Directive we have developed a 3 star approach to the requirement for a detailed safety assessment to be undertaken and documented that takes into account the level of risk that a product potentially poses for those companies placing them on the European market.

An additional requirement of the Directive requires that manufacturers can report on the measures necessary show that their manufacturing process and its monitoring are compliant.
