Toy Safety and our commitment
Toy safety is paramount to us. Therefore, it is important to state that all of our parts and materials used during the production process are compliant with the EU standards.
Lot Number
To ensure toy safety standards, you will notice a 6-digit number printed on the front/top of each game. This identifies each production run of the game and materials used. In other words, it’s important to note that the EU sets very high standards for safety in the world of games. From the raw materials used on the pins, (resin in the plastic), to the paint used to color the game, all aspects are compliant with the EU requirements. See what wikipedia has to say about this standard EN 71-3.
There is a new version of the Toy Safety Standard on migration of certain elements. For instance, you can look it up at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published the standard EN 71-3:2019. (Search for Reference: EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021)
This document specifies requirements and test methods for the migration of heavy metals and toxic elements such as aluminum, antimony, arsenic and many others.
In addition, barium, boron, cadmium, Chromium (III), Chromium (VI), cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, strontium, tin, organic tin and zinc.
CE Mark
The CE marking does not provide any specific information to the consumer. It is not a quality assurance declaration, it does not show evidence of third-party testing. It should not be confused with any independent certification mark. The type issued by international or European notified test bodies.
Certain directives include an option for the responsible organization to provide a declaration of conformity stating that a product fulfills the requirements of the applicable directives. However, if challenged, the appropriate evidence must be supplied to support the self-declaration claim. Therefore, other directives, for products affecting health and/or safety, such as pressure vessels, will require a specific certificate.
In conclusion, yes our Game Cross Peg Solitaire has the CE Mark or in German the “CE-Kennzeichnung”.
