The CE mark

The safety of toys is the responsibility of the manufacturer/distributor. He confirms this by the CE mark, which he puts on the product himself.

The CE mark is considered a "passport" for the European market and an initial indicator of trustworthy products. It documents compliance with product-specific European directives. - in our case the EN71. For some products there is a CE marking duty, e.g. for electrical appliances, building products and also toys for children.

A CE conformity assessment is very complex and must be checked regularly. In the case of product improvements, this assessment must be done again.

Please note: The CE mark alone says nothing about the harmlessness of a product!

Manufacturers could also attach it to the product without prior testing. They would violate laws, standards and relevant directives and be liable to prosecution. Unfortunately, this is the case over and over again, which further lowers consumer confidence. Only a declaration of conformity confirms the legality of a CE marking.

Our tip for buying advertising material:
Ask for a declaration of conformity for all products with CE marking. This way you can also show your customers that product safety is close to your heart. The declaration of conformity is provided to you by mbw® free of charge.
