Toy Safety Testing

Age group and product classification

Consider intended use, foreseeable child behaviour, small parts and mouthing. Age warnings must match the design and use; adding a warning does not remove a design hazard. Electrical toys also require assessment of electrical requirements.

EN 71 test topics

EN 71-1: mechanical and physical properties, small parts, edges, points and product-appropriate mechanical tests.
EN 71-2: flammability requirements for the relevant toy and material.
EN 71-3: migration of certain elements. Results are assessed against the material category, method and current limits; one general µg table cannot be used for every material.

Which date matters for the 2025/2509 transition?

EU Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 entered into force on 1 January 2026; its general application date is 1 August 2030. During transition, 2009/48/EC and its current amendments remain relevant. The EU timetable does not imply identical dates in Turkish law. Record the target market and placing-on-the-market date in the test plan.

Information needed for an application

Share age grading, photos, instructions, draft packaging/labels, material and colour variants and supplier details. Agree sample quantities and variant representation. Track results in the technical file alongside production changes and current chemical restrictions.

Illustrative images, not records of an actual customer site or test.

Report scope and quotation

Sample, method, standard edition and report scope are agreed before testing. Results apply to the identified sample and conditions. The testing laboratory and any required accreditation scope are confirmed in the quotation; this page does not imply that every test is performed in-house by FQC under accreditation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I prepare for an enquiry?

State the model, material/components, target market and requested tests. Agree sample count, method, standard edition, laboratory and any required accreditation scope before work.

How can I check accreditation or authorisation scope?

Use the TÜRKAK and NANDO links on the corporate scope page to check the body, product and procedure together. A body number does not mean every listed service or test is accredited under the same scope.
