Service scope: This service is based on the following regulations of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 (updated version from 27/02/2025): Regulation 19(2), Regulation 27(1), Regulation 18(1), SCHEDULE 3 and SCHEDULE 4. Other regulations, pages, or sources are not taken into consideration.

Note: Only regulations relevant to England, Wales and Scotland are covered by this service.

Note: We only check if a certain file item is present (i.e., a company name that is indicated as the manufacturer). However, we cannot verify if this data is correctly specified (i.e., the actual name of the manufacturer). Here are some other examples:

a. Some regulations may specify that “installation instructions” is required. If so, we can only assess if such instructions are present. We cannot determine if these are correct as this would require product specific knowledge that we do not have.

b. Some regulations may require technical documentation that includes product drawings or risk assessments. We can only assess if such information is present. We cannot determine if the drawings or risk assessments are accurate.

FAQ

What is the purpose of this service?

This service can help you understand if your label files, declaration of conformity, technical documentation, and test reports comply with certain parts of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

What is this service based on?

This service is based on the specified regulationsonsarticles of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 (see specified version in the service scope). No other articles, parts, regulations, guidance pages, documents, standards, or other information are taken into consideration.

Does this service cover all UK regulations for toys?

No, this service is only based on the specified regulations of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. Other regulations may apply. For example, electronic toys can be subject to various regulations. Additionally, toys can also be subject to substance regulations. As this service is limited to the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011, we do not claim to cover every single regulation that may apply to a particular toy.

What do I need to start the process?

We will contact you to request the following information once you have placed your order:

  • Product information
  • Company information
  • Label file
  • Document file
  • Test reports

What if I don’t have all the files?

In that case we will review what we have. However, we will still list items that can be useful when creating your own files.

For example, if you do not have a label file, we will still include items from the covered articles/regulations/parts in the report. This can be useful when creating your own label files.

What do I receive after the process is completed?

You will receive a report that will help you understand the following:

  • What is correct
  • What is missing

In some cases, we also specify recommended actions.

How many products do you review?

We review files and information for a single product per service order.

How long does the process take?

Normally 7 business days from the time we have received all the requested information. Note that a delay in providing the required information will also result in a delayed delivery.

Do you compare the files and information to all Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 requirements?

No, we do not compare your files to the entirety of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Which parts of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 are covered in the check?

The specific regulations the service is based on can be found on this page. We also specify the regulations and provide source texts in the report.

Why is the check only based on parts of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011?

If the service was based on a review covering the entire Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011, then the process would be many times more time consuming. This would also result in a significantly increased price.

We have selected parts of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 that we know manufacturers and importers often get wrong. That being said, we do not claim that the review is based on the entire regulations text. This means that other requirements in the regulations text can still apply to your product, even though these are not mentioned or referenced in the report.

Do you check Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 warnings, instructions, and safety information?

No, we do not check warnings, instructions or safety information as part of the review process. The reason is that warnings and other information often depends on age groups, product specific risks and other factors.

For example, we cannot reliably determine if a product belongs to a certain age group and therefore require a certain warning symbol. Likewise, we cannot assess if a specific toy poses certain risks as we do not possess expertise about all toy products.

That being said, we do provide a static section in the report that contains information about warnings, instructions, and safety information in the context of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Do you guarantee or certify compliance with the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011?

No, we do not guarantee or certify products as compliant with the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. We do not conduct a physical evaluation or testing process of the product. Further, we only review and check the files and information provided.

Further, we operate based on the assumption that testing companies provide a truthful verification of test reports upon request.

Will this report become outdated at some point?

Yes, regulations can be amended or even replaced by entirely new legislation. For example, the articles/regulations//parts that the review process is based on can be subject to change.

Note that we always specify which version of the regulation the report is based on.
