Cleanliness Level Certification of Toy Materials

(Level I is the highest level)

Cleanliness level certification of toy materials mainly focuses on the chemical safety certification of toy materials by selecting high-quality enterprises. It is very difficult for parents to intuitively identify chemical safety, so this certification aims to help parents identify and choose toys with safer and cleaner materials. Based on the CCC certification of toys in China, it also refers to stringent standards of the EU and other developed countries.

Educational Level Evaluation of Children’s Toys
