Toy Safety Regulation
Safer toys with a digital passport
What the new regulation introduces
The new Toy Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/2509) replaces Directive 2009/48/EC and is among the first product groups with an explicit Digital Product Passport. It tightens the rules on chemicals, requires an assessment of all risks, and introduces a DPP for every toy placed on the EU market.
Its requirements build on DPP for manufacturers and on the Digital Product Passport →
What does the Toy Safety Regulation mean for your digital product passport?
Every toy gets a passport under Regulation (EU) 2025/2509, built on the same mechanics as the ESPR one: a unique identifier, a data carrier on the toy and tiered access to the safety and compliance data behind it. It applies to manufacturers, importers and retailers, including online sellers.
The transition period is about 4.5 years. In DigitalProductPassport by WIARA, test reports and certificates attach to the passport as files, each classified to an access level, and the public passport shows only public fields. Open a demo passport to see the structure, and check what applies to your product.
