Safety and Quality for Toys
Well-informed consumers nowadays have a great need for safety and quality. These factors exert a major influence on their purchasing decisions. Responsible consumers have very high standards, in particular, when it comes to toys and children's safety.

Your Partner for Greater Market Success
You as the manufacturer, importer or seller of toys take these demands into consideration. But how can parents and other buyers recognize that they are really holding a completely safe product in their hands?
Ideally, through a test mark which immediately shows that: "This product has been tested and certified by an independent third-party test house".
The TÜV-PROOF Mark stands for certified quality toys. This voluntary test distinguishes these products and product groups from the multitude of toys which bear the CE marking. We - TÜV Rheinland Product Safety GmbH - are your partner for product testing and for a range of further useful services.

Childcare - Safety and quality in child-related articles
Our children should grow up in safely and security - and we at TÜV Rheinland Product Safety GmbH want to help. Therefore, we have specialized in the testing of child-related articles.

What exactly are child-related articles?
Baby's bottles
Baby carriers with/without supporting frames
Bath seats
Crockery and cutlery
Children's beds and children's traveling beds
Children's high chairs
Children's walking harness and reins
Children's walking aids
Children's reclining seats

For these articles, we not only test the mechanical and physical characteristics, but also chemical properties.

For all articles, fundamental legal requirements exist with respect to potential pollutants which they may contain. This applies not only to the above-mentioned products, but also to all other articles which come into close contact with children, for example:

• Clothing
• Lambskins
• Carrying cloths etc.

We offer product testing of child-related articles according to the latest European harmonized testing principles or according to other valid regulations by a single institution.

With our mark we help parents or potential buyers, guaranteeing that the products tested by us are safe, non-toxic and of a high quality - for the well-being of our children, after all, children are the future!
