DO YOU KNOW THE TOY SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN JAPAN?


MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
Designated toys that are intended for infants in Japan are required to comply with the mandatory safety requirements in the "Specifications and Standards for Foods, Food Additives, etc." under the Food Sanitation Law, including:
- Section lll: Apparatus, Containers & Packaging
- Section lV: Toys


VOLUNTARY REQUIREMENTS
Japan Toy Safety Standard (ST Standard) and the ST Mark Scheme established by the Japan Toy Association provide toy manufacturers, retailers and consumers with additional safeguards for toys intended for children up to the age of 14.


Imported and manufactured toys for Japan should be tested by a designated testing laboratory to demonstrate conformity to the Food Sanitation Law and/or the ST Standard.


STC is a designated overseas testing laboratory, endorsed by the Japan Toy Association and Ministry of Health, Labour & Welfare.
