四 Conclusion
Toys (except electric toys) exporting to Canada do not require certification or pre-approval procedures, as long as they are tested by ISO/IEC 17025 certified laboratories in accordance with Canadian toy-related technical regulations and test methods, and the results meet relevant requirements. Electric toys need to have the conformity certification mark and be tested by a certification body recognized by the Canadian Standards Council. The certification mark indicates that the toy has been tested and complies with all relevant regulations under the Canadian Electrical Code
