Name every market before sampling
Standards follow the market
A plush that passes EN 71 for Europe is not automatically compliant in the US or Japan. The destination decides the tests.
The market decides the factory
Some retailers and licensors require audited partner factories. Knowing the market upfront avoids changing factories later.
One program, several markets
Declare every market at inquiry and the lab can plan one test program that covers all of them.
The free compliance checker lists tests, documents and labels by product, audience and channel, side by side.
