Component testing is allowed in accordance with 16 CFR 1109 guidelines. Special allowances are made for Small Batch Manufacturers. WARNING FOR US TOYS The Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) requires small parts hazard warning label on certain toys and games intended for children over 3 but not older than 6 years. It also specifies cautionary labeling is required on small balls ( with a diameter of 1.75" or less ), balloons, and marbles. The warning must be conspicuous on the principal display panel, as well as on any accompanying literature ( i.e. instructions ). Note: 1) The exclamation mark inside the equilateral triangle must be at least half the height of the triangle. 2) The signal word WARNING must be separated from the triangle (distance f) by at least the size of the first letter of the signal word. i.e. W. 3) This statement layout can be in a square or rectangular shape, with or without border.

7 EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE OVERVIEW EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE OBLIGATIONS OF ECONOMIC OPERATORS TIMELINE 30th JUNE 2009 New EU Toy Directive published in Official Journal of the EU 20th JULY 2011 End of transitional period of 2 years Repeal Directive 88 / 378 / EEC ( except Annex II, Part 3 Chemicals ) 20th JULY 2013 End of transitional period of 4 years Repeal chemical requirements of Directive 88 / 378 / EEC ( Annex II, Part 3 ) The objective of the Toy Safety Directive ( TSD ) is to ensure safe toys are placed on the European market. EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE SAFETY ASSESSMENT The EU Toy Safety Directive defines a new obligation for all toys: all toys placed on the market after 20 July 2011 must have been subject to a safety assessment ( includes chemical safety assessment ). The toy should be designed in such a way that as many hazards as possible are eliminated or that residual risk is minimised to an acceptable level. Responsibility of the manufacturer Must be provided upon request to the authorities in one of the official languages of the Community ( 30 days or in the case of serious risk, in a shorter time ) Must be kept for 10 years Risk is defined as Hazard x Exposure The safety assessment is therefore a form of risk assessment. It requires: Analysis of hazards ( chemical, physical, mechanical, electrical, flammability, hygiene and radioactivity ) that the toy may present to a child Analysis of potential exposure to these hazards ( normal, intended and foreseeable use bearing in mind behaviour of children ) by identifying the risks and solutions to limit flammability, radioactivity, hygiene hazards that a toy may present The safety assessment enables to identify hazards ( going beyond standards ) and check that toys comply with the requirements. The TSD increases the level of responsibility. For each operator type there are obligations that they are legally required to meet when supplying or purchasing toys. 1 ) MANUFACTURER S OBLIGATIONS Ensure toys comply with essential safety requirements Perform safety assessment to identify hazards that a toy may present Draw technical documentation with stringent requirements for chemicals ( keep 10 years ) Draw EC declaration of conformity ( keep 10 years ) Ensure production control Type, batch number for identification Name and address manufacturer Test samples 2 ) IMPORTER S OBLIGATIONS Place only compliant toys on the market Check manufacturer used appropriate production control Check manufacturer s technical documentation and marking Name and address importer If appropriate test and investigate 3 ) DISTRIBUTOR S OBLIGATIONS Make toys available on the market with due care to requirements applicable Verify CE - marking, EC declaration of conformity, relevant documentation, instructions supplied in relevant language( s ), type, batch number and manufacturer s and importer s name and address 12 13

When a toy is placed on the market, the manufacturer must draw up an EC Declaration of Conformity ( DoC ). By doing so, the manufacturer certifies and assumes responsibility for the compliance of the toy with the essential requirements of the Toy Safety Directive. The manufacturer shall prepare a complete EC DoC, referring to all relevant standards including EMC, REACH, etc. The manufacturer shall translate the EC DoC in all languages of EU countries where the toy will be placed. The manufacturer shall sign the declaration. The manufacturer shall keep the DoC for 10 years after the toy is put on the market in the Technical Documentation. The importer must also keep a copy of the manufacturer s DoC for a period of 10 years after the toy is put on the market. There is a requirement to continuously update the DoC should changes be necessary. EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY TEMPLATE PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS DECLARATION ( product s name, including colour image ) ( type, batch no.: unique identification ) MANUFACTURER OR HIS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE ( name and address ) This declaration of conformity is issued under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. THE PRODUCT IDENTIFIED ABOVE COMPLIES WITH THE FOLLOWING EU DIRECTIVES ( list all relevant EU directives ) THE PRODUCT IDENTIFIED ABOVE COMPLIES WITH THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS ( list all relevant standards ) ( In case of EC type examination ) EC TYPE EXAMINATION CARRIED OUT BY NOTIFIED BODY ( name, number Notified Body ) ( EC type examination certificate ) ADDRESSES OF MANUFACTURE AND STORAGE SIGNED BY MANUFACTURER / REPRESENTATIVE PLACE / DATE 14 15

9 EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS From 20 July 2013, all toys placed on the EU market must comply with all EU standards and regulations related to chemicals, including REACH. CHEMICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENTS Assessment shall be carried out before placing the toy on the market Must be included in the Technical Documentation EU TOY SAFETY DIRECTIVE WARNING FOR EU TOYS REQUIREMENTS User limitations must contain at least the minimum or maximum age of the user. Economic operators may choose between the age warning phrase or pictogram ( or both ): Not suitable for children under 36 months. The warning must be preceded by the word Warning or Warnings as appropriate. Printing ONLY the pictogram on the front panel packaging is allowed in case the full warning ( the warning text / pictogram preceded by the word warning ) is printed on another location on the packaging as well. The warning Not suitable for children under 3 years must be accompanied with a short description of the hazard concerned. This hazard description can be located on the toy, on the packaging or on an accompanying leaflet. The specific warning Not suitable for children under 3 years and age warning pictogram may not be misused and may never be used for toys intended for children under 3 years. Warnings need to be translated into the official language( s ) of the country of destination. Toys should bear the CE - mark. Toys should be traceable bearing traceability marking. A Declaration of Conformity should be available. Must be included in the Technical Documentation.
