Israel toys safety requirement


Prior to June 1, 2005 all imported goods that were subject to mandatory standards had to be tested in the Standards Institution of Israel (SII) before obtaining a release from customs.  As of June 1 2005, all imported goods subject to such standards were divided into four levels of examination according to the degree to which each one might endanger public health and security. 

The four inspection levels were set as follows:
Group 1 – Goods embodying the highest danger level to public health and safety.  For example:  children’s toys, electrical home appliances, pressure vessels, portable foam fire extinguishers.  No changes will occur with respect to issuing a certificate of conformity to the standard for release from customs.  That is, an examination of each shipment is still  a requirement for release from customs. 

IS 562 Part 1 SAFETY OF TOYS:  MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
IS 562 Part 2 SAFETY OF TOYS:  FLAMMABILITY
IS 562 Part 3 SAFETY OF TOYS:  MIGRATION OF CERTAIN CHEMICAL ELEMENTS


However it seems the EN71 report is also accepted.

  1. Toys contain every kind of chemical substance, chocking materials, toxic chemicals and sharp edges.
