Protecting society’s most precious assets Holistic quality and safety solutions for toys and children’s products
TÜV SÜD
As stakeholders in the global toy industry work to ensure that manufacturers produce safe products while maintaining quality and safety across the supply chain, a number of challenges are faced in terms of rising costs and deviations in standards. Failure to achieve compliance leads to expensive reworking, which is increasing costs throughout the industry. The higher material costs in many markets around the world are also driving up production costs. At the same time, toy safety compliance is complicated, with varying national standards that deviate from international standards. Understanding the deviations in each country requires specialized knowledge, which many businesses may not possess in-house.
TÜV SÜD offers a one-stop solution for testing, auditing, certification, and advisory on regulatory testing standards for the toy industry. Our global network of accredited laboratories provides testing services in line with the various regulatory standards and directives. We can support you from the beginning of the product life cycle, starting at the design stage prior to prototyping. This, combined with our in-depth understanding of standards, enables you to achieve safety compliance and save on costly rework. Our holistic approach includes training programs for quality system awareness, and technical and regulatory topics to upgrade the capabilities of your workforce.

Safety and quality are among the highest priorities in the supply chain for toys and children’s products, so they cannot be left to chance.
As part of our commitment to unparalleled service quality, we provide you with a TÜV SÜD certification mark that allows customers to quickly identify that your product has been evaluated by one of the most recognized names in safety. We also provide the GS mark, indicating certification to German safety requirements.
Leave nothing to chance Around the world, consumer awareness of hazardous substances and poor design have led to higher safety expectations for toys and other children’s products. To eliminate risks to children, businesses involved in the toy and children’s product industry should ensure that products are safe in terms of the material used and the design and function, while at the same time enforcing strict supply chain integrity to ensure that the correct materials are sourced throughout the complex global supply chain. TÜV SÜD’s comprehensive safety and quality services help businesses to achieve these tasks. When it comes to the safety of future generations, our experts leave nothing to chance.
