Sourcing and quality

Since 2012, WDK has drafted a Quality Policy.

This policy focuses on all the important elements to successfully drive our quality management system and attain customer satisfaction. Our teams in France and in China are committed to scrupulously following the strict safety and quality standards of children’s toys.

WDK is on the Association Française de Normalisation’s (AFNOR, the French Standardization Association) committee for toys. We are there because of our extensive knowledge in the field and to contribute to the development of new standards or the evolution of existing standards.

Before shipment, our inspectors put each toy through a rigorous series of quality control tests to make sure it complies with applicable standards: physical & mechanical hazard tests, phthalates analysis tests, labeling and age grading requirements. An inspection report is drafted and issued prior to any shipment.

For all toys intended for use in play by children 3 years of age and under, we systematically carry out tests before they are sent out of the factory. The LNE, the French National Laboratory of Metrology and Testing, performs these tests to assure us of the quality and safety of said toys (function/performance, pull tests on small parts and seams and so forth) and the absence of phthalates.

WDK works with reliable long-standing suppliers to source new products. We pre-screen any potential new suppliers. WDK organizes factory inspections to ensure the quality and safety of our toy imports, compliance with labour standards and in particular no one under the legal minimum age is employed in any stage of toy manufacturing. These requirements are verified again by our teams in China during each final random inspection.
