Important to know:
Not all products require a CE Declaration of Conformity.
This document is only needed for products that fall under specific EU directives, such as toys under the Toy Safety Directive.
If your product is not subject to CE marking, a Declaration of Conformity is not required. If you're unsure whether your product needs CE marking, we can help assess your case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about this service.
A Declaration of Conformity for toys is a formal document that confirms a toy complies with the applicable EU safety legislation, including the Toy Safety Directive. It links the product to the relevant standards, test evidence, technical file and responsible business.
You need a Declaration of Conformity before placing a toy on the EU market. It is part of the CE marking process and should be prepared after the technical file, risk assessment and required test evidence are in place.
Yes. Toys that fall under the EU Toy Safety Directive require CE marking and a Declaration of Conformity before they can be sold in the European Union.
No. A Declaration of Conformity is not the same as a CE certificate. It is a legal declaration issued by the responsible business, stating that the product meets the applicable EU requirements. CE marking is based on the full compliance process, not only on the declaration.
No. A Declaration of Conformity should be based on completed compliance evidence, including relevant test reports, technical documentation, product specifications and a risk assessment. Without supporting evidence, the declaration may be incomplete or unreliable.
The Declaration of Conformity is signed by the manufacturer or the responsible economic operator placing the toy on the EU market. The signer must be able to support the declaration with the correct technical documentation and should be legally allowed to sign on behalf of the company.
A toy Declaration of Conformity usually includes product identification, manufacturer details, applicable EU legislation, relevant harmonised standards, reference to test evidence, declaration text, date, place, name and signature of the responsible person.
A Declaration of Conformity does not usually have a fixed expiry date, but it must remain accurate. It should be updated if the product changes, the manufacturer changes, standards are updated, test evidence changes or new legal requirements apply.
A supplier’s declaration can support your compliance file, but you should not rely on it blindly. The business placing the toy on the EU market must ensure the declaration is accurate, product-specific and supported by proper test reports and technical documentation.
Yes, UK sellers placing toys on the EU market need the correct EU compliance documentation, including a Declaration of Conformity where CE marking applies. UKCA documentation for the UK market is not automatically a replacement for EU CE documentation.
An incorrect or incomplete Declaration of Conformity can lead to customs delays, marketplace removals, product recalls, enforcement action or fines. It can also make your CE marking unsupported.
No. This service prepares the Declaration of Conformity based on existing compliance evidence. It does not include laboratory testing, technical file creation or risk assessment, but those may be needed before the declaration can be completed.
