BIS CERTIFICATION FOR TOYS

Toys are a child's best friend. Without toys, childhood is empty. One of the parents' concerns is that these toys are not harmful or injurious to children. In addition, the toy industry is expanding and is expected to become a toy hub in the coming years.

Now the Government of India is on the move to control most of the hazards that children face. Toys must be safe by law, taking this motive seriously; the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade and Ministry of Commerce and Industry considered it to be mandatory BIS Certification for toys.

Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020

The order, Compulsion of BIS Certification on toys by DPIIT, is entitled as Toys (Quality Control) Order, 2020, firstly notified on 25 February 2020 and stated that quality control operations of states should conform the Toys to the Indian standards and obligate the domestic manufacturers and imports to bear the Standard Mark under a license from BIS as per Scheme-I of Schedule-II of BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulation, 2018.

APPLICABLE INDIAN STANDARD ON TOYS

BIS has also developed a number of Indian Standards for both electric and non-electric toys. IS 9873 (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9) and IS 15644 apply to all-electric and non-electric toys. This standard aims to reduce risk when children play with toys, particularly those that are not visible to the user.

To obtain BIS certification and produce and sell standard quality toys, the manufacturer must ensure that their toys conform to applicable Indian standards.

The manufacturer must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to use a standard mark on toys.
