Britax Römer has high, internal standards for chemical and mechanical testing for all of its products. Our internal General Test Protocol (GTP) includes more than 400 different chemicals that are banned in our products and is based on EU directives, currently published and active laws, market experience and test laboratory recommendations. We continuously strive to exceed legal requirements and continuously update our GTP with the latest market updates.

Britax Römer works closely with external partners Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of chemicals and Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), one of the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification companies recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. We are proud that our efforts have been recognised in this area with consistent, excellent scores in chemicals from leading consumer organisations such as Germany’s Stiftung Warentest.

The European Regulation N° 1907/2006, covering the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemical substances (REACH), entered into force on June 1, 2007.
