UNDERSTANDING OUR LABELS
Pébéo attaches the utmost importance to the quality of its products, as well as to all regulatory aspects applicable to them (composition, labeling, markings, etc.).
Pebeo is very active in the various standardization bodies, which means it is always in close contact with the regulatory aspects of toy safety.
The main regulatory markings are described below. They are applicable according to the type of product and the country where it is distributed.
