On July 1, 2021, Safety requirements for toys came into force. Toys are controlled by the Market Surveillance Agency. The technical regulation, prepared in accordance with the EU directive, applies to toys intended for children under 14 years of age. The agency carries out the documentary inspection and visual and laboratory examination of toys. Since there are no appropriate laboratories for mechanical and chemical testing of toys in Georgia, the agency sends samples to accredited laboratories abroad.
In case of detection of violation of safety requirements, the sanctions include reference, suspension of sale, removal of the product, as well as destruction in cases where the toy contains dangerous chemical substances.
