FAQ — Toys for the Indian market
1. Do soft toys and electronic toys follow the same file?
Not always — hazards differ (flammability, batteries, EMC). Scope each construction.
2. Can I use overseas EN71 reports?
They may inform design, but India BIS acceptance follows Indian Standards and scheme rules.
3. Are marketplaces strict on toys?
Yes — missing BIS details commonly trigger delistings.
4. How can Certko help?
Standard mapping, lab booking and documentation coordination for manufacture or import models.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
