Since the Toy Safety Directive (88/378/EEC) was put into force in Europe in 1988, it is necessary to ensure that toys are safe and
comply with the European regulations. Basically, toys of all kinds need to be tested – electronic toys, plush toys, electro-motor
operated toys, stuffed toys, remote-control toys, etc. Our own fully equipped NABL accredited testing laboratory provides
complete testing in the field of Toys parts.
