TOYS TESTING

The change in emerging technology and maturity of the market has called for stringent testing process by ensuring the safety of the toys as well as assuring the consumers that they could buy them with confidence for the children to play.
Most testing are performed on Physical Hazard, Flammability, Heavy Metals and Hazardous chemical. We test Soft Toys, Rubber Toys, Art and Craft Toys and Educational Toys.
The requirements for Toy Safety become increasingly stringent every day from quality, design and development to testing and evaluations
Many countries have established their own safety regulations such as ASTM, GB, ISO and EU Toy Directive for these items, and companies must ensure that their products comply with the relevant standards before their goods can be sold in these locations.
