Official Collection 2024 249 was published on June 5, 2024. It amends two standards falling under Annex 4 of the ordinance:
• Migration of certain elements – SN EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021
• Olfactory board games, cosmetic kits and gustative games – SN EN 71-13:2021+A1:2022

Switzerland’s Toys Ordinance contains elements of the European Union’s Directive 2009/48/EC, the so-called Toy Safety Directive (TSD) and Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (Annex XVII of REACH).

The new standards will come into effect on July 1, 2024.
