What safety standards do Kidmerry wooden toys meet?

Kidmerry puts product quality and child safety first. Our wooden toys are manufactured and tested in accordance with leading international toy safety standards, helping ensure that every product is safe for children. From raw material sourcing to final inspection and shipment, every stage of production follows strict quality control procedures.Product Safety StandardsOur toys are designed and manufactured to meet the key safety requirements of the two major Western markets:EN 71 (European Toy Safety Standard): Covers a wide range of safety requirements, including mechanical and physical properties, flammability, and the migration of certain elements such as heavy metals.ASTM F963 (U.S. Toy Safety Standard): A mandatory U.S. toy safety standard enforced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), covering requirements for toy materials, small parts, sharp edges, toxic substances, and other potential hazards.Factory CertificationsKidmerry's manufacturing facilities maintain internationally recognized management and supply chain certifications to support consistent product quality, responsible production, and operational compliance:ISO 9001: International quality management system certification that supports standardized and traceable production processes.ISO 14001: International environmental management system certification demonstrating our commitment to responsible and environmentally conscious manufacturing.FSC Chain of Custody: Certification that helps verify the responsible sourcing and traceability of FSC-certified wood throughout the supply chain.SCAN: Supply chain security certification supporting secure and reliable international trade operations.BSCI / Sedex: Social compliance programs that assess areas such as labor rights, working conditions, and business ethics in accordance with international standards.Third-Party Testing SupportTo meet the specific requirements of different customers and target markets, Kidmerry can arrange product testing through internationally recognized third-party laboratories, including but not limited to:SGSTÜVIntertekBureau Veritas (BV)Customers may specify any of the above testing organizations for additional product testing. We work closely with the designated laboratory to help ensure that products meet the applicable safety and market-entry requirements of the target market.

How does Kidmerry ensure materials are safe and non-toxic?

Kidmerry always puts children’s health and safety first. From incoming raw materials to finished products, we have established a complete and traceable quality management system with strict controls at every stage to ensure that every toy is safe and reliable. We not only select environmentally friendly materials at the source, but also strictly control potential physical and chemical risks throughout the entire manufacturing process—giving parents peace of mind and children a safe, enjoyable play experience.End-to-End Quality Control SystemWe have established three key quality inspection stages covering the entire production process to ensure consistent product quality:Incoming Quality Control (IQC): All incoming raw materials undergo strict inspection, including wood moisture content, surface defects, insect holes, cracks, and other potential issues. Any materials that fail to meet our requirements are rejected.In-Process Quality Control (IPQC): Semi-finished products are inspected throughout the production process. Regular inspections help identify and correct issues promptly, preventing defective products from moving to the next production stage.Final Quality Control (FQC): Every finished product undergoes 100% inspection before packaging and shipment to ensure it meets our quality requirements.Eco-Friendly Water-Based Paint — Reducing Chemical Risks at the SourceWe use non-toxic, eco-friendly water-based paints instead of traditional solvent-based paints, offering several key advantages:Solvent-Free: Very low VOC (volatile organic compound) content and minimal odor help reduce potential exposure to harsh chemicals.Strong Adhesion & Good Sealing: Water-based paint adheres firmly to wood surfaces to form a durable protective layer, helping prevent paint from peeling and resisting exposure to sweat and saliva.Bright Colors & Eco-Friendly: We use food-grade pigments to create soft, natural colors, helping provide a safer play experience even when children put toys in their mouths.Physical Safety — Minimizing Potential HazardsIn addition to chemical safety, we place a strong emphasis on the physical safety of our toys:100% Physical Inspection: Every product undergoes both manual inspection and machine-assisted testing to help ensure there are no burrs, sharp corners, or sharp edges.Multi-Step Hand Sanding: Every wooden toy goes through multiple fine-sanding processes to create a smooth, rounded surface with a comfortable feel, helping prevent scratches to children’s delicate skin.Structural Strength Testing: Assembly toys undergo repeated pull and torque testing to ensure components do not easily come loose, helping reduce the risk of small parts becoming detached and accidentally swallowed.Third-Party Testing SupportTo further support product compliance, Kidmerry can arrange independent testing through internationally recognized testing organizations, including SGS, TÜV, Intertek, and Bureau Veritas (BV), based on customer requirements. We can provide testing reports to help demonstrate compliance with the applicable market-entry requirements of the target market.

Are Kidmerry products tested by third-party labs?
