Seal of approval for children’s toys

CE mark is not a certificate

We frequently receive emails asking whether our products are “CE tested” or “CE certified”.

First of all: The CE logo or CE marking is not a certificate or seal of approval.
With the CE mark on its products, the manufacturer declares that all legally prescribed minimum requirements for this product are fulfilled.

It goes without saying that our products comply with the legal requirements, i.e. the relevant EU directives and associated harmonized standards. In order to express this conformity, we as manufacturers of toys indicate this by using the CE logo on the product.

Toy directive is decisive for products with toy properties

It is therefore not mandatory for toys that do not pose a hazard that is not covered by a harmonized standard to be independently inspected and tested.
They only need to comply with the relevant directives and the standards contained therein, i.e. the measurable test requirements.
In the case of toys and pacifier chains, this is the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48 EC implemented by the standards DIN EN 71 and DIN EN 12586.

Independent testing institutes to check SindiBaba toys

Nevertheless, for reasons of greater safety, better product liability and to avoid dependence on a supplier declaration stating that the material is suitable for the manufacture of our toys, we have opted for an independent inspection.
In particular, chemical analysis to assess possible harmful substances requires very expensive equipment that is not or hardly affordable for an SME.
We have therefore been having our products tested by independent institutions for years and work together with recognized testing institutes SGS, Eurofins and Intertek.
