Finally and International Standard for sex toys… 

In 2021 the International Organization for Standardization has put together the ISO 3533:2021 Sex toys — Design and safety requirements for products in direct contact with genitalia, the anus, or both

This must of been a benefit of the time available or the increase in demand during Covid.

At Selfish Pleasures we have used these standards as the absolute minimum standard we would accept by any of our manufacturers. We have more than educated our manufacturers on the ISO 3533:2021 requirements, it  was rather surprising how many hadn't heard of ISO 3533:2021, needless to say they do now….

 

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies).

Introduction

“ Sex toys are produced, marketed and sold in most countries in the world. These products are in touch with physically sensitive parts of the body. It may be embarrassing for the users to report issues concerning these products. Creating an international standard for sex toys regarding design, materials and user information would help both user, producers and re-sellers to make sure that the sex toys on the market are safe to use and that the user has enough information on how to use them correctly.

This document aims to ensure that the design of sex toys minimizes the risk of injuries to the user for reasonable and foreseeable use, that the materials are safe to use in contact with genitalia, the anus or both, and also that there is sufficient and correct information provided to the user.

The requirements in this document are intended for manufacturers of sex toys. However, all parties in the supply chain may benefit from using this document as guidance.”
