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.
