The Digital Product Passport for toys

The Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 replaces Directive 2009/48/EC. Under Article 19, a manufacturer must create a digital product passport before a toy goes on the market, and recital 54 explains that the passport replaces the EU declaration of conformity. The Regulation applies from 1 August 2030, with one set of rules for toys made in the EU, imported, or sold online.

A Commission delegated act under Article 49 will set the data carrier, access rights and standards. There is no draft yet, and the act will apply no earlier than 18 months after it enters into force. The documents behind today's declaration of conformity already exist, though: chemical composition data, test reports and the safety assessment. You can put them in order now.

Regulatory framework and requirements

Digital Product Passport for toys

When does it become mandatory?

Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 applies from 1 August 2030, the date Directive 2009/48/EC is repealed. From then on the manufacturer creates the passport before the toy goes on the market. The delegated act on the data carrier and access rights is still pending and applies no earlier than 18 months after entry into force.

One passport instead of a declaration

Recital 54 says the passport replaces the EU declaration of conformity. For electronic and connected toys, Article 19(5) lets the same passport carry the conformity information other acts require: the Cyber Resilience Act, radio equipment, EMC, low voltage, RoHS and the AI Act.

Who does it apply to?

The manufacturer creates the passport, but importers and online sellers are in scope too, through their duties as economic operators. The rules are the same whether a toy is made in the EU, shipped in from outside it, or sold through a website.

Tighter rules on chemicals

The Regulation extends the bans on hazardous substances to PFAS and endocrine disruptors, and requires a safety assessment covering every risk before a toy reaches the market. The passport, which replaces the declaration of conformity, is where the manufacturer states that the toy meets these requirements.

Steps to implement a DPP

Map your toys and models

We start with a list of the toys you place on the market and the safety documents you already hold for each one.

Chemicals and safety assessment

Substance data, test reports and the safety assessment are entered once and sorted into public, professional and authority fields.

Conformity under other acts

For electronic and connected toys, the conformity information required by the radio equipment, EMC, RoHS and cyber-resilience rules goes into the same passport.

Passport and permanent QR code

The platform publishes a passport page with a permanent QR code and a GS1 Digital Link address in all 24 official EU languages.

Access for parents and authorities

Parents see the public data when they scan, and market surveillance authorities also see the fields reserved for them.

A record of every change

Every edit to the passport is logged with its author and date, so an inspector can see which version applied and when.

Frequently asked questions

From 1 August 2030, when Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 starts to apply and Directive 2009/48/EC is repealed. A delegated act will set the details of the data carrier and access rights, and no draft has been published yet.

The manufacturer, before placing the toy on the market (Article 19(1)). Importers and online sellers carry their own duties as economic operators, so the passport concerns them as well.

The passport replaces it, as recital 54 of the Regulation sets out.

Yes. Where a toy also falls under the Cyber Resilience Act or the radio equipment, EMC, low-voltage, RoHS or AI Act rules, Article 19(5) lets its passport carry the conformity information those acts require.

Yes. The Regulation sets the same rules for toys made in the EU, imported or sold online, and importers and online sellers have duties of their own as economic operators.

Not yet. The Commission still has to adopt a delegated act under Article 49 on the data carrier, access rights and standards. You can prepare the data now; the format will be settled by that act.

Gather the chemical and test data for each model, check which toys also fall under other EU acts, and decide who in the company will keep the passports up to date.
