Chemicals in toys. A general methodology for assessment of chemical safety of toys with a focus on elementsPubliekssamenvatting
Dit rapport bevat een erratum d.d. 26-01-2015 na pagina 234Om de veiligheid van het gebruik van speelgoed te kunnen waarborgen, is in dit rapport een methode beschreven voor de afleiding van veilige limieten voor chemische stoffen in speelgoed. Deze methode combineert het gebruik van speelgoed door kinderen, en een veilige grenswaarde voor een stof. Het gebruik van deze methodologie wordt geillustreerd voor een aantal stoffen en een aantal typen speelgoed, zoals vingerverf en pluche speelgoed.

This report is written on request of DG Enterprise. A risk based methodology is presented that can be used to assess the safety of exposure to chemicals in toys. To demonstrate its use this methodology is applied to elements with the emphasis on toys intended for children under 36 months and on toys intended to be put in the mouth.
The essence of the methodology is the assumption that exposure of children to chemicals in toys may not exceed a certain health-based level (Tolerable Daily Intake, or TDI in mg-kg bw-day). Since children are exposed to chemicals via other sources than toys we advocate that a certain percentage of the TDI should be allocated to toys. A number of arguments for the choice of this percentage are presented for elements. The actual choice of a percentage is a risk management decision and is not taken as such in this report.
