NEW YORK- An oversight council has been appointed to the Toy Industry Association’s newly created Toy Safety Certification Program.

Developed as part of a partnership with the American National Standards Institute, the program is being designed to act as a verification system to ensure that toys entering the United States market comply with all relevant safety standards and regulations.

Applicants for toy safety certification will be responsible for meeting the basic requirements of the program, which are:

• Hazard and risk assessment for toy product design.
• Factory process control audits by an independent audit body.
• Production sample testing by an accredited laboratory to validate that the factory is producing toys that meet U.S. safety standards.
