The MC mark is an abbreviation for Malaysian Conformity Mark. This conformity mark, MC is an indicator that a particular toy supplied or sold in Malaysia has conformed to the safety standards prescribed by MDTCC and is safe for consumers. The toys must be marked or affixed with the conformity mark,  together with the registration number determined by MDTCC either on the product or packaging. The toys also must be marked and affixed with the name and address of either manufacturer, importer, distributor or any persons who conducts repackaging activities and some toys must be accompanied by warnings and information on precautions where necessary. The confomity mark,  together with other requirements as determined by MDTCC must be marked or affixed in a visible, intelligible and indelible manner on their toys. It is an offence under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 [Act 599] if the conformity mark,  is marked or affixed to goods other than those allowed under the Act 599.

EN71 is a set of European Product Safety Standard that applies to all toys sold in the European Union. EN71 which is also a part of the CE directive, has been put in place to ensure that all toys sold meet certain safety standards on flame retardance, chemical composition and etc.

All toys have to be safety tested as accordance to ISO EN-71 before CE marked.

Since 1986, ASTM International’s Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety (F963) has been considered the “gold standard” for toy safety. It is continually reviewed by ASTM International members to keep pace with innovation, to incorporate new information, and to ensure consistent application.

All toys made outside of United States and sold in the United States must meet the safety requirements of ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, as part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA).
