The main objective of toys safety standards regulations in Malaysia is to ensure that the toys supplied in Malaysian market are safe and to minimize potential hazards associated with toys resulting from their use in their intended play modes (normal use) as well as 
unintended play modes (reasonably foreseeable abuse). Children are categorized as 
vulnerable group and they may be exposed to the usage of toys that are unsafe and could 
cause harm to them. In line with the development of the technology, revision of the safety 
standards and to further strengthen the regulations after five years of implementation, this 
amendment is in place to ensure the regulations are still relevant and effective.
