As parents buy toys and products for their children, hoping to find items on the shelves that are safe, high quality and increasingly sustainable, they want to be confident these products do not contain dangerous substances, or put the health of little ones at risk with sharp edges or small parts that the child could ingest. Many aspects need to be considered. Consumers want to trust toy and children’s products brands and retailers that the item went through rigorous testing and checks.

International technical committees and working groups work hard to maintain higher safety and quality standards that toys and children’s products must undergo in order to access global markets.

The topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly popular in this market as well. The idea of raising children in a healthier and more protected world leads consumers to search for items from brands and retailers who pay more attention to the environment.

Last, but not least, the number of connected and smart children’s products is growing, providing unique experiences to children. This does not come without a new set of critical risks: from cybersecurity to radio frequency exposure, brands and retailers have to put more topics on their list before launching an item in destination markets. As a strategic partner, UL Solutions guides companies through this complex marketplace with the mission of working for a safer world.
