We ensure this through the following measures:

  • Careful selection of new producers and continuous monitoring of product quality at existing partners.
  • Commitment to compliance with relevant guidelines for the protection of people and the environment.
  • New products undergo an evaluation by our experienced product management team to ensure their workmanship, usability and functionality.
  • Samples are additionally subjected to material safety testing to identify potentially harmful material components.
  • Each delivery is visually inspected on arrival to ensure that the products meet the expected standards.
  • Customer feedback is taken seriously and appropriate action is taken to respond appropriately to suggestions or concerns.

Material safety with the XRF spectrometer

Product quality and safety often become apparent very quickly, for example in terms of texture, user-friendliness and, of course, functionality. But what we as users cannot readily determine is the material safety.

To close this gap in quality assurance, we have introduced the mobile X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF spectrometer) in the company. This allows us to detect critical material components such as heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury, …) directly on site at the incoming goods department. If the device sounds an alarm for goods from new suppliers, the products are not included in our range. Existing goods are tested on a random basis. The limit values for this procedure are based on the toy guideline EN 71-3. We carry out the testing for harmful substances with the XRF spectrometer on a voluntary basis; the procedure goes beyond the legal requirements.
