Start with the market and age group
Toy requirements depend on where the product is sold, who uses it and how it is constructed. Tell the sourcing desk the intended market and sales channel so the relevant document questions are part of the brief.
Match documents to the SKU
Ask for reports and declarations that can be matched to the actual supplier, product, materials and variation. Catalog references to EN71, ASTM or other standards are supplier-listed information to review, not a site-wide certification claim.
The markets we most often document for
Requirements are matched per SKU and per market rather than claimed once for the whole range:
| European Union | EN71 parts 1–3 (physical, flammability, migration), plus the CE marking and an EU Declaration of Conformity |
|---|---|
| United States | ASTM F963 toy standard, CPSIA limits (lead, phthalates), and a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) |
| United Kingdom | UKCA marking and UK toy-safety requirements post-Brexit |
| Other markets | National standards are handled case by case as the destination requires |
Agree any additional work
If a current product-specific report is missing or does not cover the intended variation, testing is arranged through accredited laboratories rather than assumed from a supplier's photo. Confirm cost, sample quantities and timing before scheduling production or launch. We do not reproduce third-party brands or intellectual property, and every document is tied to the actual SKU, material and color variation it covers.
