Buyers often ask for "the certificate". There is no single one — the list depends on where the toy is sold and the age it is sold for.

European Union

EN 71 covers mechanical and physical properties, flammability and the migration of certain elements. Toys sold in the EU carry CE marking.

United States

ASTM F963 is the toy safety standard; CPSIA adds limits on lead and phthalates and requires tracking labels on the product and its packaging.

Mainland China

CCC certification is compulsory for certain toy categories on the domestic market.

Age grade changes the construction

For under-threes we keep to embroidered eyes and noses and avoid small detachable parts entirely. That decision has to be made before the pattern, not after the sample.

We arrange testing with third-party labs and send the reports with the goods. Confirm the exact scope with us before printing any safety claim on packaging.
