International Standards (ASTM)
Originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, the ASTM is recognized as the largest voluntary standard development organization in the world. The Consumer Products division of ASTM International has established industry recognized safety requirements for toys intended for use by children under age 14. Our toys fully comply with all the ASTM safety standards.
European Safety Standards (EN71)
All PlanToys products carry the CE mark showing that they meet the EN71 safety standards. The EN71 toy safety requirements were established in 1990 for all toys sold in the European Union. Toys that carry the CE mark are also phthalate free. The other symbol below is used to indicate that a toy has small parts or other features that are unsuitable for children less than three
years old.
New California CARB Regulations – PlanToys® Certified
The CARB regulation, called the Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Reduce Formaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood
Products (ATCM), was adopted in 2008 to limit public exposure to formaldehyde because of its carcinogenic properties. Composite wood panels were targeted because they comprise the largest block of controllable formaldehyde-emitting products. The ATCM rule specifically focuses on three types of composite wood products: hardwood plywood (HWPW), particleboard (PB), and medium density fiberboard (MDF). It impacts commonly used products containing formaldehyde resins.
“PlanToys® would like to announce that all of our products are in compliance and even exceed the standards set by this new
regulation. We are one of the few companies that are already in full certification of this new law.”
