• substances disturbing the hormone structure (according to EU legislation) cannot be found in the product
• butyl- and propylparaben must not be used
• the product does not contain any perfume or other scents
• the product complies with the legislation for releasing the least amount of heavy metals
• Allergenes may only be present in very small amounts, which must lie below the triviality limit
• Carcinogenics, substances being either DNA-altering or harmful to the reproductive system (CMRs), may only occur in small amounts - which are below the triviality limit
• Only a certain group of approved preservatives may be used
• No products containing dangerous substances, which must be mentioned in the safety sheet
• A safety sheet is elaborated for all products
• no A-certified product has a danger-certificate.
Regarding CE-certificate:
Please observe that hobby products, having a toy value for children below the age of 14 years of age must be CE-certified.
An A-certificate and a CE-certificate are two different certificates. In order to qualify for a CE-certificate demands regarding various documentation within the production process must be met, and certain test requirements regarding mechanical-physiological characteristics, inflammability and chosen chemical substances (EN71-1, 2,3) must be complied with. CE-certified products must not contain health hazardous substances, however the requirements are not as stringent as to above. An A-certified product must meet the requirements to the ingredients, and these requirements are so very stringent as to meet the demands in the legislation for toys, section regarding use of chemicals.
