Pragovi i izuzeća
- The 4.5-year transition is designed to give the toy industry time to implement the DPP and remove restricted chemical substances.
- Importers of second-hand toys from outside the EU are expected to be in scope; used toys placed on the market by consumers are not.
- Small and micro enterprises benefit from simplified technical documentation routes.
Otvorena pitanja
- Full alignment of the toy DPP with the ESPR horizontal DPP data model (CIRPASS) is still being worked out.
- Treatment of digital and connected toys interacts with the GPSR, Cyber Resilience Act and AI Act.
- Mutual recognition with UK and US toy-safety regimes.
