Toy Analyses
Child safety is every parent's top concern and the responsibility of the entire community. KCL aims to increase the design, safety and quality of children's product with its tests. The requirements to be fulfilled regarding the safety of toys, defined as all kinds of products and play equipment designed and manufactured for the purpose of using in the games of children under the age of 14, are determined by the standards. In our country, inspections are carried out for physically, mechanically and chemically safe products in toys within the scope of both import inspections and market surveillance and inspection.
Certification in terms of physical and mechanical properties, combustion, chemical properties, electrical properties, hygiene and radioactivity properties, which is defined as a source of danger by Directive 88/378/EC, is mandatory for toys to enter the European market safely. The toy must be physically and chemically safe. It must bear the CE mark and meet the requirements of this mark.
The toy must bear the name and address of the institution responsible for the safety of the toy in the European Union, warnings and instructions for use where appropriate.
In particular, the current versions of EN 71-1, EN 71-2, EN 71-3, EN 71-9, EN 71-10, EN 71-11 and IEC 62115 test methods are carried out within our organization by the KCL Laboratory, which has TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 Accreditation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Toy Analysis?
Toy analysis involves testing the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of toys in a laboratory environment. These analyses determine whether products are safe for children and comply with safety standards. For manufacturers, it is a key part of legal compliance and quality control processes.
-
Why Are Toy Tests Conducted?
Toy tests are conducted to ensure children’s safety and to detect harmful substances. Risks such as small parts, sharp edges, or toxic chemicals are identified through these tests. They are also mandatory for compliance with national and international regulations.
-
What Are Toy Laboratory Tests?
Toy laboratory tests include mechanical and physical tests, flammability tests, heavy metal analyses, and chemical content testing. Small parts tests and durability tests are also performed. These tests ensure the safe use of the product.
-
What Do Chemical Tests for Toys Include?
Chemical tests detect heavy metals, phthalates, azo dyes, and other harmful chemicals. They are especially critical for toys intended for babies and young children. The aim is to prevent the use of substances that could threaten children’s health.
-
How is Toy Safety Testing Performed?
Toy safety testing is conducted using specialized equipment that simulates usage conditions. Pull, drop, and pressure tests are applied to evaluate breakage or fragmentation risks. This determines the safe usage level of the product.
-
Are Tests Required for CE Certification of Toys?
To obtain CE certification, toys must be tested for compliance with relevant safety standards. Laboratory analyses and technical file preparation are essential parts of the process. CE marking cannot be applied without test reports.
-
According to Which Standards Are Toy Analyses Performed?
Toy analyses are generally performed according to international safety criteria, mainly the EN 71 standard. These standards cover mechanical, chemical, and flammability tests. Compliance ensures that the product can be sold safely in the market.
-
Why is Heavy Metal Testing Important in Toys?
Heavy metals pose serious health risks for children. Lead, cadmium, and mercury levels are determined through testing. This analysis is particularly important for painted and plastic toys.
-
What is Toy Flammability Testing?
Flammability testing measures how easily toys catch fire and burn. It is applied especially to plush toys and costumes. The aim is to minimize fire risks and increase child safety.
-
How Long Does Toy Analysis Take?
The duration depends on the test scope. Simple physical tests can be completed in a few days, while comprehensive chemical analyses may take longer. The number of samples and test intensity also affect the timeline.
-
How Are Toy Analysis Prices Determined?
Prices depend on the type of tests, number of samples, and required standards. Chemical analyses are generally more expensive. However, thorough testing prevents potential legal risks and product recalls.
-
Are Tests Mandatory for Imported Toys?
Imported toys must be checked for compliance with relevant safety regulations. Test reports may be requested during customs processes. Therefore, toy analyses are crucial for importers.
-
What Are Physical and Mechanical Tests in Toys?
Physical and mechanical tests include drop tests, pull tests, impact tests, and small part tests. These analyses evaluate the risk of breakage or fragmentation during use. They are especially critical for toys intended for children under 3 years old.
-
How Does the Toy Quality Control Process Work?
The quality control process continues from design to mass production. It is supported by sample testing, production inspections, and laboratory analyses. This system ensures safe and standard-compliant products.
-
What is an Accredited Toy Laboratory?
An accredited toy laboratory is authorized to perform tests according to international standards. The reports it provides are officially valid and accepted in inspections. It provides a major advantage for export and CE certification processes.
