Toy safety affects all of us and allows us to protect children during play activities. At present, there are different working groups dealing with toys safety and different safety standards used around the world. These working groups are looking to address the same safety hazards. This panel will use the toy standards alignment as a case study, exploring successes in aligning standards and steps needed to continue the progress toward alignment. It will use examples from aligning specific toy requirements, while considering the different standards organizations' unique processes and regulatory frameworks (US, EU, Canada).
