To ensure that children's toys are safe to use, a wide range of rules and regulations are in place. Among the most comprehensive frameworks is the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC), supplemented by harmonized standards. The directive sets requirements for toy safety, including chemicals, flammability, general safety, and electrical safety.

All toys sold within the EU must bear the CE mark. To achieve this, the toy must meet the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive. The products are tested according to harmonized standards to ensure that these requirements are met.

We perform testing of toys in accordance with the SS-EN 71 series, the REACH Regulation, the RoHS Directive, and other relevant regulations.

The requirements in the standards vary depending on which age group the toy is intended for and what type of toy it is.

Accredited testing according to the SS-EN 71 series and assessments according to the REACH Regulation and RoHS Directive

We offer accredited testing according to the following standards:

• SS-EN 71-1 – Mechanical and physical properties
  Tests the toy’s safety against mechanical hazards such as small parts, sharp edges, and durability during normal use.
• SS-EN 71-2 – Flammability
  Evaluates the toy’s flammability characteristics to minimize the risk of the product igniting easily or contributing to a fire.
• SS-EN 71-3 – Migration of certain elements
  Tests whether heavy metals and other regulated substances migrate from the toy in hazardous amounts when in contact with saliva, sweat, or gastric acid.

In addition to these accredited tests, we also offer assessments and analyses to ensure compliance with:

• REACH Regulation
  Lead and cadmium.
• RoHS Directive
  Assesses whether electrical and electronic toys meet the requirements for restricting hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.

These services are performed according to harmonized standards to ensure that products meet all applicable safety requirements within the EU.

Our operations include both accredited and non-accredited testing methods. The scope of accreditation is available upon request – please contact us for more information.

The result is delivered in the form of a report.

Delivery time varies depending on the product complexity.

We would like to see photos of your product before we can provide a price estimate for the testing.

Gain complete confidence that your weapon-firing simulators and target simulators meet the highest standards. We offer accredited testing according to SISO-STD-016-00-2016, ensuring that your systems operate smoothly and reliably with those from other manufacturers.

During military exercises, laser-based weapon-firing simulators and target simulators are often used. By standardising how weapon-firing simulators and target simulators encode and decode the optical laser engagement signal, it becomes possible for units from different manufacturers to operate together on the combat training field. This is particularly important when different armed forces, such as those within NATO, conduct joint live simulation combat exercises.

As an independent testing institute with extensive metrological expertise, we perform accredited testing of both weapon-firing simulators and target simulators. Independent verification that a product meets the requirements of the standard is often a prerequisite set by procurers and buyers.

The testing is carried out with equipment and an accredited method developed by RISE, based on the standard SISO-STD-016-00-2016 and the corresponding test plan SISO-REF-073-00-2020. The testing is performed in RISE’s laboratory, or upon request, at the customer’s site.

The results of the testing are summarised in a report, where each subtest in the test plan (SISO-REF-073-00-2020) is presented separately.

When windows or doors do not work properly, the cause can be complex. RISE offers qualified damage investigation to identify the root cause of the problems – not just the symptoms. With long experience and broad technical expertise, we are a safe and independent partner for manufacturers, insurance companies, property owners and other stakeholders.

^{RISE's damage investigations cover both windows and doors, and are based on extensive experience. We combine practical experience with theoretical analysis to quickly and effectively identify damage, sources of error and possible solutions. If field damage investigations are not sufficient, our laboratories are equipped to perform accredited tests according to European and international standards.}

Common causes of damage we investigate:

• Leakage during rain or wind
• Lack of air tightness
• Deformation under load
• Malfunction during operation
• Condensation problems and moisture penetration
• Defects in assembly

We document the results in a clear report with images, measurement data and recommendations – often useful in legal processes or insurance cases.

Dialkyl diketene dimers (AKD) are used in the paper industry to add hydrophobicity to paper. Unbound AKD can get hydrolyzed to dialkylketones, which can potentially migrate to fatty foods from food packaging.

Dialkylketones have limitations according to BfR XXXVI.

We offer analysis of dialkylketones from AKD in solvent extract according to SS-EN 15519.

We also offer analysis of dialkylketones from AKD in coffee and in coffee with milk. For analysis in other type of foods, send request.

The results will be compiled in an analysis report.
