Call for study on chemicals used in toys
The European Commission's Enterprise and Industry DG has issued a call for tenders for a study on certain chemical substances used in toys. The study has a twofold objective: - to examine how the limit values for the bioavailability laid down in Annex II.II.3 of Directive 88/378/EEC on the safety of toys should be revised according to recent scientific knowledge and to examine whether other elements should be added to the list in that annex; - to examine ways to address the chemical properties in toys intended for children under 36 months or intended to be put in the mouth.For further information, please contact: The European Commission Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry Directorate I Attn: Mr Luis Filipe Girão office 2/30 B-1049 Brussels.
