Which route applies to a given product
The classification of the item drives the test set. An art material intended for general use follows the art material route, while a set marketed for children falls under children's product legislation and requires third-party testing at an accredited laboratory. Buyers should confirm the intended age grading before testing begins, because changing it afterwards can invalidate reports that have already been paid for.
What to confirm before ordering
Share the destination market, the intended age grading, the retailer or marketplace that will list the product, and the product reference. The compliance pack is then assembled to match those requirements. Documentation is prepared during sampling so it is ready before the production booking is confirmed.
