The impact assessment underpinning the proposed revision of the Toy Safety Directive presents a clear and comprehensive intervention logic. The envisaged change in legal instrument, i.e. a conversion of the present directive into a regulation, appears adequately justified in the IA. It enjoys broad stakeholder support and corresponds to a call from the European 合法博彩网站. The range of policy options explored appears balanced and sufficiently detailed, consistently reflecting the views of the different stakeholder groups; the explored options are incremental rather than self-standing alternatives. The assessment of impacts 鈥� with a focus on economic impacts and impacts on human health 鈥� is substantiated by quantitative and qualitative data, with the choice of the preferred option being convincingly justified. In line with the 'evaluate first' principle, the IA draws largely on the findings of a prior evaluation, in particular to develop the problem definition. In addition to the evaluation, the IA is also informed by an external supporting study (published after the proposal and IA), an adequate level of stakeholder consultation, and seemingly relevant scientific literature. Various annexes add depth to the analysis on specific aspects (e.g. the toy market; non-compliant toys in the EU; EU chemicals legislation). While subsidiarity is adequately addressed in the IA, proportionality questions could be reflected more explicitly. Because of the initiative's relevance for SMEs, an SME test was carried out, as recommended by the Better Regulation Guidelines. The draft IA received a positive opinion from the Regulatory Scrutiny Board.
