The EEC Council has amended the EAEU technical regulation “On the safety of toys”, clarifying labelling rules. The changes take effect 180 calendar days after official publication. Source: Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
Clause 5.3 of Article 4 now requires that information applied by the manufacturer, its authorised representative, the importer and/or the seller must not contradict each other, alter the toy’s intended use, age addressing, warnings or safe-use restrictions, or mislead the buyer about purpose and safety.
The amendments aim to stop evasion of the technical regulation, reduce consumer deception and prevent non-compliant products from being placed on the market.
