GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / April 20, 2023 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a SafeGuardS detailing an update to the European Union (EU) list of standards that demonstrate conformity with Directive 2009/48/EC, the so-called Toy Safety Directive (TSD).
