Moldova has published its latest list of toy safety standards for presumption of conformity with the nation’s Technical Regulation on toy safety. These became effective on May 30, 2021.
In 2015, Moldova published Decision No. 808 of October 25, 2015 to approve the Technical Regulation on toy safety. The safety requirements are similar to those in Directive 2009/48/EC, the European Toy Safety Directive (TSD).
In April 2021, Moldova published Order No. 39 of March 31, 2021 approving the latest list of Moldovan and European (EN) standards for demonstrating compliance with its Technical Regulation on toy safety (the Order). The latest legislation repealed the list of standards falling under Order No. 541 of November 20, 2018 and became effective on May 30, 2021.
The list of standards under the new Order is summarized in Table 1.
