Certification mark for toys

The statement “Tested toy” covers the tests carried out on the product. Their exact scope follows from the additional features included in this statement. However, in any case the obligatory tests must be proved in addition and factory inspection carried out prior to certification.

The voluntary certification mark with the statement "Safety tested" is issued for products, indicating that the product was tested and certified by the independent third-party organisation of TÜV SÜD Product Service for conformity with the essential technical safety requirements.

In the case of toys, the scope of testing and certification depends on the type of product. Both mechanical, electrical or electromagnetic requirements may be applicable. Compliance with these requirements will be tested in full.

Certification is based on product-specific standards and test programmes. These standards and test programmes are identified on the certificate in question.

For the statement “Toxic tested”, TÜV SÜD tested the product for hazardous substances and verified that any harmful substances present in the product complied with or remained under the relevant limits. The test is based on legal requirements, with TÜV SÜD defining even stricter criteria in some cases.
