For the EU market, toys must meet applicable safety requirements, typically demonstrated through EN71 testing and CE conformity procedures. For the US market, toys must comply with ASTM F963-23 and relevant CPSIA requirements, including third-party testing and CPC certification where applicable. Forestoy helps customers arrange testing for both markets.
Toy safety testing costs and timelines depend on the product design, materials, required standards, and number of tests. Simple wooden toys generally require fewer tests than complex products. Testing typically takes around 5–10 working days, depending on laboratory availability. Forestoy can help customers obtain testing quotations and arrange the necessary tests.
Check the laboratory name, report number, testing date, product description, and applicable standards. Contact the testing laboratory directly to verify the report's authenticity. For US children's toys, confirm that the laboratory is CPSC-accepted for the required tests. Forestoy cooperates with recognized laboratories, including SGS, TÜV, BV, and Intertek.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification supports responsible forest management and traceable sourcing of forest-based materials. For wooden toy buyers, it helps demonstrate a commitment to sustainable sourcing. Forestoy works with an FSC-certified factory and can support FSC-related requirements for eligible products.
