Proposed EU legislation on protection of toys from harmful chemicals
The EU Council has proposed legislation to increase protection of toys from harmful chemicals. The EU Council has adopted
its position on the toy safety regulation that updates the rules to protect children from risks related to the use of toys.
It said that while the current legislation makes EU toy safety rules among the strictest in the world, the proposed legislation
aims to increase protection from harmful chemicals (eg endocrine disruptors) and reinforce the enforcement rules with a new
digital product passport.
