Why are we doing this?
Toy safety compliance is one of the most crucial parts of your toy. It is important for the well beeing of your small customers as well as to avoid costly law suits for your company.
Unfortunately we found serious issues regarding toy safety with products of new exhibitors during the last years.
Mostly this derives of not knowing about the proper steps and regulations.
Together with the Spielwarenmesse® the DVSI - German Toy Industry Association decided to support exhibitors in the StartupArea and check the conformity assessment procedure of their products - if they want.
Thus preventing hazardous toys entering the market and protecting the exhibitors from costly recalls and law suits. We are here to help you with toy safety compliance.

What is the DVSI Toy Safety Check?
The DVSI Toy Safety Check is a free service for exhibitors in the StartupArea at the Spielwarenmesse.
You will get a free check and evaluation of the safety of your toys.
Is this really free?
This service is aimed at you as an exhibitor in the StartupArea and is completely free of charge as part of a consultation (telephone call, Videocall or a meeting at the fair). If the intensity of the advice reaches a certain level that goes beyond the intended service, we will clearly point this out and inform you about all subsequent costs. Of course, this requires your approval first.
Will my data be safe with you?
Your product idea, your data, the pictures or other documents that you will provide to us as part of the toy safety consultation are safe with us and will be deleted after the consultation is completed. There is no disclosure to third parties. Absolute confidentiality is guaranteed.
We are not in the StartupArea. Can we take this service anyway?
Please let us know your question anyway. We are always happy to help someone with their questions about toy safety. Based on the scope of the help that is used, we have to invoice you for our services. Of course, we clarify this with you in advance and make all costs transparent. We only start advising you after you have given your clear consent to all costs
