easyCE ensures safe usage for diverse user groups.

Special features of conformity assessment and CE labelling for toys and consumer products

Consumer products and toys are used by end consumers in their daily lives:

  • Conformity assessment and CE labelling must therefore take particular account of the diversity of the user group. End users differ in many respects, such as previous knowledge and age.
  • As a consequence, the product analysis, the definition of the application scenarios and the assessment of possible misuse with special care happen and are reflected in restrictions on action.
  • The Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) once again defines particularly stringent requirements for these products, especially with regard to the use of non-hazardous, pollutant-free materials.
  • easyCE also observes that consumer products and toys are often placed on the market by importers and not by the manufacturers themselves. Importers must then prove full compliance to marketplaces such as Amazon (Amazon FBA) or the customs authorities in order to avoid the risk of sales being stopped.
  • The conformity assessment procedure must then include any existing, dubious test reports from the manufacturer are validated and verified by the importer. The importer is ultimately liable for the product.

Frequently asked question

FAQ

Is CE marking required for jewellery e.g. silver necklaces, earrings etc.?

If a jewellery stand does not contain any electronic components, as is often the case with watches, for example, and is not a toy, then no CE mark can or may be affixed We will be happy to test your product and provide you with certainty.

Which substances must not be present in toys or exceed limit values?

The Toy Safety Directive stipulates various substances that must not be present in toys or only up to certain limit values.As a manufacturer, you should check the declaration of performance of the materials you use in production and ensure that they fulfil the requirements of the directive. One of these substances is formaldehyde. From 2020, stricter limit values for formaldehyde in toys will apply (however, previously manufactured materials are grandfathered). The limit value for formaldehyde in wooden products used in toys that are used by children under 36 months or intended to be put in the mouth is 0.1ml/m3 (test method: EN 717-1:2004).

Is CE labelling required for furniture (not children's furniture)?

No, CE labelling is not required for normal furniture that is not intended for use by children. If it is children's furniture, it must be assessed in accordance with the Toy Safety Directive and is subject to CE labelling.
