28 February, 2018, Ukraine approved the No.151 standard-the new technical regulation on the safety of toys, which will come into effect on 21 September, 2018.
The new technical regulation on the Safety of Toys establishes requirements on the safety of toys and their placement on the market. It also defines the obligations of manufacturers, importers and distributors.
The new regulation will replace the existing regulation which took into account in 2003. It align with the EU toy safety regulation with a number of amendments to its legislation.
Compared to the EU's Directive, Ukraine's latest regulation slightly diverges, it applies to products that have been developed or intended for children up to 14 years of age. The EU's Directive has a broader scope as it applies to products designed or intended "whether or not exclusively", for use in play by children under 14 years.
C&K Testing remind enterprises to pay attention to the amendments of toy safety regulation, and strengthen the cooperation with professional testing agencies, thus to ensure the product quality and prevent the subsequent risk.
