In July 20th, the most strict toy safety technical code in the world, the new directive on toy safety of the European Union, was formally implemented. The law not only raised the requirements of the physical performance of toys, put forward the most stringent chemical performance requirements, but also stipulated a more stringent assessment procedure for toys. The formal implementation of the regulations has further widened the gap between domestic toy standards and international standards.

To this end, the head of the Yiwu Customs Department suggested that Yiwu toy enterprises should increase their R & D efforts on new materials and new technologies, improve their production processes, and introduce more sophisticated testing instruments and equipment. Under the existing technology which fails to meet the new EU standards, the toy market in areas with relatively low toy standards such as Latin America, Africa and ASEAN will be developed.
