These Regulations implement paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 6 of Article 2 of Directive 2008/112/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 amending Council Directives 76/768/EEC, 88/378/EEC, 1999/13/EC and Directives 2000/53/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council in order to adapt them to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (O.J. No L 345, 23.12.2008, p.68), by amending the Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/204) (“the 1995 Regulations”). Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (O.J. L 353, 31.12.2008, p.1) provides for the harmonisation of the classification and labelling of substances and mixtures by aligning existing EU legislation with the United Nations Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
The 1995 Regulations implemented Council Directive 88/378/EEC of 3 May 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the safety of toys (OJ No. L 187, 16.7.88, p.1), as amended by Council Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993 amending Directive 88/378/EEC and other directives (OJ No. L 220, 30.8.93, p.1).
Regulation 2 of these Regulations makes amendments to the 1995 Regulations which take effect on 27th August 2010, and regulation 3 makes amendments to the 1995 Regulations which take effect on 1st December 2010. The amendments relate to the essential safety requirements for toys and to the warnings and indications of precautions to be taken when using toys.
