Denmark implements EU directives on safety requirement for toys

On 14 September 2020, Denmark notified the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade of its enactment of an Executive order on safety requirement for toys. The purpose of the executive order is to transpose into Danish law Directive 2019/1922/UE modifying migration limits for aluminium and Directive 2019/1929/UE laying out limit values for formaldehyde.

The two aforementioned Directives amend Directive 2009/48 on the safety of toys in the following manner:

• In point 13 of part III of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC (migration limits for toys and components not to be exceeded):

• In Appendix C to Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC (Specific limit values for chemicals used in toys intended for use by children under 36 months or in other toys intended to be placed in the mouth) the following entry is added:

EU Member States are required to transpose Directive 2019/1922 by 19 May 2021 and Directive 2019/1929 by 20 May 2021.
