“It is government’s duty to bring in mandatory standards on grounds of health, safety, environment etc. and since toy safety is an issue, it has been an item in consideration to be regulated. The impediments in notifying regulations for toys have been removed in the new BIS Act 2016 and we should expect a regulation on toys shortly.” - Anil Jauhri CEO, National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) “Toy safety plays a vital role for all of us including consumers, manufacturers & retailers be-cause no parent will ever take risks with their kids’ toys. Parents are also getting more aware about toys and their importance for kids development. We, at Snapdeal, are conscious about the importance of toy safety. As a marketplace platform, we encourage our seller partners to provide as much information as needed on product display pages. Customers can also ask specific questions on these pages.
