Turkey Lead children's products


The Turkish Toy Regulation has entered force on October 4th, 2016 and has been regulating the toy products since then with the purpose of defining methods and foundations of security and free circulation of toys.

The regulation was updated recently in December 2019 to amend some maximum limits of substance containment such as chromium and lead, as well as Overall Migration Limits (OML) of Bisphenol A and Phenol in the light of recent data to ensure toy security.

Limit of Chromium (VI) in recyclable toy products has been lowered from 0.2 mg/kg to 0.053 mg/kg, while the presence of lead was strictly dropped to 2 mg/kg from 13.5 mg/kg in breakable or soft toys, from 3.4 mg/kg to 0.5 for sticky or fluid toys, and finally from 160 to only 23 mg/kg for recyclable toys.
