Pick a product and the markets you will sell in. The checker lists the lab tests, documents and labels each destination expects, so testing is in the budget and the timeline from day one.

Checklist unlocked.
Indicative checklist of common requirements in each market, as of October 2026. It is not legal advice. Rules change, and the exact scope depends on your design, materials and buyer. The accredited lab confirms the final test plan, and Takara confirms it in your quote and contract.
Certification and testing requirements shape factory selection, cost and lead time. They should be specified at the inquiry stage, and confirmed no later than contract signature.
Required certifications, audits and test reports determine which partner factories are eligible, the testing scope, and the resulting cost and schedule. Requirements introduced after production has started may require re-sampling, additional testing or a change of facility.
Each destination market, and often each retailer or licensor, sets its own requirements. A product that complies in one market is not automatically compliant in another. Where goods will be distributed in several markets, all of them should be declared upfront so that testing covers every destination.
Programs such as Disney FAMA, amfori BSCI and Sedex SMETA are held by a limited number of qualified facilities, which carry higher overheads and plan capacity for larger runs. They are generally practical for orders of relatively large quantity. For smaller runs, Takara recommends the appropriate level of assurance, typically product-safety testing to the destination market’s standard.
Tests are carried out by accredited third-party labs, and factory audits are held by the partner factory that produces your goods. Takara itself holds no certifications: it plans the testing, selects eligible partner factories and manages the lab work for you.
It depends on the product, its materials and how many markets you sell in. Declaring every market at the inquiry stage lets one test plan cover them all, which is usually cheaper and faster than testing again later.
Only if your licensor or retailer asks for them. These programs are held by a limited number of facilities and are generally practical for relatively large orders. For smaller runs, product-safety testing to the destination market’s standard is usually the right level of assurance.
No. It is a planning tool. The exact scope depends on your design, materials, age grading and buyer, so the accredited lab confirms the final test plan, and Takara confirms it in your quote and contract.
