  • (1888PressRelease) April 25, 2025 - SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a live webinar, ‘Exploring the draft EU toy safety regulation,’ on May 13, 2025.

    Businesses selling toys in the EU must stay informed about proposed changes to toy safety legislation to ensure compliance with both current and future requirements. The EU is in the process of replacing Directive 2009/48/EC, the Toy Safety Directive (TSD), with a new regulation aimed at strengthening protection against hazardous chemicals and reducing unsafe and non-compliant toys on the market.

    Currently still under discussion, the draft toy safety regulation (TSR) is expected to be published in September 2025 and will introduce significant changes to toy safety requirements. Manufacturers and suppliers must adapt to these changes to ensure continued compliance. For example, revisions to recently published or upcoming EN 71 standards that ensure alignment with the TSR.

    In this webinar, SGS experts Sanda Stefanovic and Dr HingWo Tsang will provide insights into the legislative process, the impact of the Digital Product Passport and the new requirements governing chemicals, warnings and labeling and consumer complaints. They will also discuss the transitional period and host a live Q&A session.

    This event is aimed at toy industry professionals, including designers, product line managers and quality assurance managers.
