Toy session
In this session, TÜV Rheinland Toy Expert will share his experience on STEM toy and give some compliance solution advice. Also, he will introduce the potential concerns or common failure associated with incomprehensive design or bad manufacturing practice that leads to flammability, physical & mechanical and chemical risk, and data protection management against up-to-date regulations.
