When it comes to dressing up, imagination should be the only thing running wild. As parents, families and costume lovers become increasingly aware of product safety, it's understandable that questions are being asked about the quality and safety standards behind the products we buy.
At Smiffys, safety isn't an afterthought. It's built into everything we do.
Children's costumes occupy a unique space. While everyday clothing is not required to meet toy safety standards, children's dress-up products are. That's why our children's costumes are tested to stringent EN71 Toy Safety Standards, including:
EN71-1 - Mechanical and physical safety
EN71-2 - Flammability safety
EN71-3 - Chemical safety and migration testing
These standards are designed to ensure products are safe, fit for purpose and suitable for children's use. At Smiffys, our dedicated product and compliance teams work closely with trusted manufacturing partners around the world to ensure every children's costume meets the relevant safety requirements. This means rigorous testing, regular quality checks and ongoing monitoring of changing legislation and industry standards.
Alongside this, some of our exciting costumes come to life with lights, sounds and special effects. That's why our electrical products are also designed and tested to meet current safety regulations, including battery safety requirements wherever applicable.
Safety Across the Entire Product Range
Our commitment to keeping everyone safe doesn’t stop at costumes.
All Smiffys cosmetics are manufactured by trusted suppliers and comply with relevant UK, EU and international cosmetic regulations. Ingredients are clearly listed, and products undergo strict chemical and microbiological testing.
As well as this, our party ranges are tested to relevant safety standards, including food-contact testing where required, helping put your mind to ease and celebrate with confidence.
As safety regulations continue to evolve, so do we. Our teams continuously monitor new legislation and emerging industry requirements to ensure our products remain compliant with the latest standards across the UK and Europe.
We believe customers should be able to focus on creating memories, not worrying about product safety.
Safety and sustainability go hand in hand.
We're proud to create products that can be re-worn, shared and donated, allowing costumes to be enjoyed by multiple families and helping to reduce unnecessary waste.
For over a century, Smiffys has been helping people create unforgettable moments through dressing up.
Behind every superhero, princess, pirate and Halloween character is a commitment to quality, compliance and safety. Because while costumes are all about fun, safety is something we'll always take seriously.
