Electric Toys Testing – METS Laboratories
Ensuring Safety, Quality, and Compliance in Children’s Electric Toys
At METS Laboratories, we specialize in testing electric toys for compliance with international safety standards. Our dedicated facilities, expert team, and robust methodologies help manufacturers and importers bring safe, high-quality electric toys to market. From plush toys with batteries to complex robotic kits, we provide comprehensive testing solutions under ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 accredited protocols.
Why Electric Toys Testing Is Important?
- Safety First: Electric toys can pose risks such as electric shock, overheating, or short circuits. Testing mitigates these hazards.
- Regulatory Compliance: Governments and regions (EU, US, India, etc.) mandate testing to EN 62115, IEC 62115, ASTM F963, BIS standards, and more.
- Consumer Trust: Assures parents and caregivers that products are safe for their children.
- Market Access: Non-compliant toys can be banned, recalled, or seized at borders.
- Brand Protection: Testing reduces the risk of liability, lawsuits, or brand damage due to product failure or injury.
