This is a small selection of the toy safety tests we have regularly performed and documented by external test institutes like e.g. TÜV Rheinland.
Visual and Tactile Test
All surfaces must be smooth and free of knot or insect holes. All edges must be rounded and splinter-free.
This test can only be performed with the eyes and the fingertips.
Drop Test
From a height of 85 cm, the respective toy is dropped five times on a hard underground. No part must splinter or break off.
Tensile Test
Every toy is subjected to a high tensile strain. At a tensile strength of 90 Newton, approx. 10 kg, no part must break and no screwed or glued parts must detach.
Crash Test
The stability of construction and material is tested by a weight of 1 kg which hits the toys from a height of 10 cm. No damages must be caused by this test.
Choking Test
Babys and small children explore their world with all their senses, and put everything in their mouths. For this reason, toys must have a size that ensures that they cannot accidentally enter a child's throat.
There are standardized test cylinders, which serve as guideline for the necessary size.
Soak Test / Saliva Test
The toy is 4 times "bathed" for 4 minutes in warm water and then dried. No small parts which may present a choking hazard must detach.
