Part 3 of 9: ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION: DECLARATION FROM THE COMMISSION
Change 2
Removed:ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION: DECLARATION FROM THE COMMISSION
Added:Recital 2: (2) Children are a particularly vulnerable group. It is essential to ensure a high level of safety of children when playing with toys. Children, including children with disabilities, should be adequately protected from possible risks stemming from toys, including from the chemical substances that toys may contain. At the same time, compliant toys should be able to move freely across the internal market without additional requirements.
Removed:The Commission regularly and systematically evaluates the occurrence of hazardous chemicals in toys, taking into account available scientific evidence, with a view to adapting the limit values or the conditions for the presence of specific chemical substances or mixtures in toys in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation 2025/…+ on the safety of toys. For that purpose, the Commission will request an opinion from the European Chemicals Agency on the safety of nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances in toys, in view of the overall exposure, within 12 months of the entry into force of this Regulation. For the same purpose, the Commission will request an opinion from the European Chemicals Agency on the safety of lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium vi in toys, in view of the overall exposure, within 24 months of the entry into force of this Regulation.
Added:Recital 9: (9) This Regulation should lay down essential requirements for toys to ensure a high level of protection of health and safety of children when playing with toys as well as the free movement of toys in the Union. This Regulation should be implemented taking due account of the precautionary principle.
