(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the Magnetic Toys (Safety) Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1654) ("the 2008 Regulations") which came into force on 21st July 2008. The 2008 Regulations provided that toys containing magnets must display a label warning about the health and safety risks they posed, as required by Commission Decision 2008/329/EC (O.J. No. L. 114/90, 26.4.2008) ("the Decision"). New standards in relation to magnetic toys were published, under the Toys Directive (88/378/EEC) (O.J. No. L. 187, 16.7.1988, p1), in the Official Journal on 30th April 2009 and were published by the British Standards Institute on 4th May 2009. The Decision has now lapsed and the 2008 Regulations are therefore no longer required and are revoked.
The new standard is EN 71-1:2005+A8:2009.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no significant impact on the costs of business.
1987 c.43; section 11 was amended by S.I. 2005/1803 and 2008/960; there are other amendments but none are relevant. Back [1]
