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 provide complete testing in the filed of Toys parts.
