Ensuring Decorative Coatings in Toys are Safe A Crucial Service for Businesses

One critical aspect of ensuring toy safety is ensuring that decorative coatings used in toys do not contain harmful or restricted substances. At Eurolab, our team of expert laboratory technicians provides a comprehensive service to help businesses ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and protect their brand reputation.

What are Restricted Substances?

Restricted substances refer to chemicals that have been identified as potentially hazardous to human health or the environment. These substances are often subject to strict regulations and guidelines set by government agencies, such as the European Unions (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive and the EUs Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC). The presence of these substances in decorative coatings can have serious consequences for businesses, including product recalls, brand damage, and even financial penalties.
