Eurofins Product Testing - Toy Testing

Any product conceived or destined to be used for play by children up to the age of 14 is considered to be a toy.  Also included in this category are accessories for their use or installation. It is evident that the safety requirements for these products are important in the extreme, since they are destined to be used by children and not always under adult supervision. Eurofins offers companies in this sector a series of assessment services designed to help them in the manufacture and marketing of safe toys complying with legal regulations. Following a careful preliminary analysis, the toys are submitted to specific laboratory tests. These are carried out with sophisticated equipment to evaluate their safety and conformity with national and international standards.
