Product safety is becoming visible and verifiable
The toy industry is entering a new phase in which safety is no longer just a declaration, but a verifiable, digitally accessible piece of data.
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) enables all key information about a toy, from materials to safety tests, to be available through a single digital record.
For manufacturers, distributors and brands, this means clear compliance with safety requirements, greater control over product data and stronger customer trust.
Why DPP is crucial for the toy industry
Toys are among the most sensitive products on the market, with high safety requirements, especially when it comes to children. DPP enables:
• transparent data on materials and chemicals
• verifiable safety certificates and testing
• clear instructions for use and warnings
• full traceability throughout the entire supply chain
Safety is no longer hidden in documents, it becomes accessible with a single scan.
Key deadlines for the toy industry:
2025
Adoption of the new EU Toy Safety Regulation.
2030
The Digital Product Passport becomes mandatory for all toys on the EU market.
• mandatory for physical and online sales
• replaces part of existing documentation (e.g. declarations of conformity)
Already now
Companies need to start preparation through structuring data and systems.
Who is most affected
DPP will cover everyone placing toys on the market:
• toy manufacturers
• importers and distributors
• brands and private label products
• online stores and marketplace platforms
If you sell toys in the EU, DPP will be mandatory.
