Baar (January 5, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is delighted to host a complimentary webinar, ‘Understanding the New EU Toy Safety Regulation’ on January 20, 2026. This webinar is designed for manufacturers, suppliers, quality assurance (QA) managers, retailers, designers, importers, online platforms and all stakeholders involved in toys intended for the EU market.
The EU’s Official Journal publication of the Toy Safety Regulation (TSR) on December 12, 2025, marked the beginning of major changes for businesses selling toys. Defining these products as those intended for play, whether or not exclusively, for children under 14, the TSR is a major overhaul and codification of the existing Toy Safety Directive. Manufacturers, retailers and importers must be aware of their new obligations under the TSR to ensure their products can be sold legally and safely in EU markets.
In this webinar, presenters Sanda Stefanovic and Dr HingWo Tsang will look in detail at the elements of the new TSR that will most affect businesses – the introduction of the Digital Product Passport, aimed at enhancing traceability and reducing product recalls, and the chemical restrictions introduced, including the prohibition of intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), endocrine disruptors and certain bisphenols. Many of these are now recognized as harmful to human health and the environment.
With further information on transitional provisions, this webinar provides a timely guide to this business-critical shift, offering practical compliance strategies and solutions for uninterrupted market access.
Stakeholders are advised to register now to ensure their place on this informative webinar.
