Denmark Proposes Expansion to Allergenic Fragrance Rules for Toys

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is reminding toy manufacturers that Denmark has announced a draft executive order to update its rules regarding toys.

 

Toys safety is regulated in Denmark under Executive Order No. 1800 of December 3, 2020. This implements Directive 2009/48/EC, the so-called European Union (EU) Toy Safety Directive (TSD), including amendments in:

  • Directive (EU) 2019/1922 – strengthening limits for aluminum migration
  • Directive (EU) 2019/1929 – formaldehyde restrictions in toys intended for children under 36 months of age and toys intended to be placed in the mouth

 

It regulates 66 allergenic fragrances in toys, under Point 11 of Part III in Annex.

  • Prohibited list – 55 allergenic fragrances are prohibited but their presence is allowed provided these are technically unavoidable under good manufacturing practice (GMP)and each fragrance is no more than 100 mg/kg
  • Labeling list – 11 allergenic fragrances must be listed on the toy, an affixed label, the packaging or in an accompanying leaflet, if their concentrations are greater than 100 mg/kg

 

The draft executive order, circulated by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in February 2022, transposes two Directives – (EU) 2020/2088 and (EU) 2020/2089 – into Denmark’s national law on toy safety.

 

If adopted, it will repeal Executive Order No. 1800 and make two important changes to the requirements governing allergenic fragrances:

  • Prohibited list – expand the number of entries to 58
  • Labeling list – add 61 new entries

 

Stakeholders should be aware of the following dates in the draft document:

  • June 1, 2022 – adoption
  • July 1, 2022 – comes into force
  • July 5, 2022 – new allergenic fragrance requirements come into force

They were the two top earners of the more than 300 lots that came up for bid.

The LaVerne coffee table, 47 ½ inches in diameter, was cast with an allover tree pattern patinated in silver, and had a brass and green patina. It was raised on a shaped base and signed by LaVerne, the Mid-Century Modern designers. The Scarpa for Cassina furniture seating group comprised two lounge chairs and two side chairs, made from leather with stainless steel details.

“We had a fabulous auction of fine antiques and art, curated from local estates and collections, and many new record prices were hit all day long,” said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions.

She added: “Our next big online auction will focus on English Georgian and Regency furniture, French provincial furniture, rustic wares in pewter and ceramics, Asian art, including a selection of Chinese Export porcelain and China Trade paintings, paperweights, paintings and prints and two bronze sculptures by Frederick William MacMonnies.
