# Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the safety of toys (Text with EEA relevance), Division 1: Toys must not constitute a dangerous flammable element in the child’s environment. They must therefore be composed of materials which fulfil one or more of the following conditions:

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(a) they do not burn if directly exposed to a flame or spark or other potential source of fire;
(b) they are not readily flammable (the flame goes out as soon as the fire cause disappears);
(c) if they do ignite, they burn slowly and present a low rate of spread of the flame;
(d) irrespective of the toy’s chemical composition, they are designed so as to mechanically delay the combustion process.
Such combustible materials must not constitute a risk of ignition for other materials used in the toy.
