Comprehensive toy safety tests are carried out by the testing and inspection bodies in order to meet the requirements and requirements of the regulation.
Toy producing companies must comply with all basic safety requirements for toys, including the general safety requirements in the regulation and the special safety requirements contained in the regulation (Annex 2).
