SGS TOY SAFETY SEMINARS
THE AGENDA
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR BRAND BY IDENTIFYING
PRODUCT SAFETY CONCERNS
10.00 am - 17.00 pm
SGS recognizes that in today’s litigious environment,
meeting legal regulations is not always sufficient to protect
against product failures or design defects. Many product
recalls occur on products that either comply with legal
standards or have standards developed for them.
The Toy Safety Directive in Europe sets essential
requirements for toys insisting that they be safe taking
into account the normal behaviour of children. While
complying with the EN71 series gives presumption of
compliance with the essential requirements of the Toy
Safety Directive, other hazards may exist that can be
identified with an EC type-examination performed by a
Notified Body. The General Product Safety Directive also
requires other products placed on the market to present
little or no risk to consumers, regardless of the product’s
compliance with existing standards. These directives, as
well as other safety initiatives outside of Europe, have
