About our products

Baluzini pieces are handmade miniatures and artisan collectibles, intended mainly for adult collectors and enthusiasts (for example dollhouse and display settings).

Our products have not been through official conformity assessment or testing as toys for children under European Union legislation, including the rules that implement the EU Toy Safety Directive (Directive 2009/48/EC).

They are not placed on the market as toys and do not carry CE marking or a toy-specific EU declaration of conformity. Descriptions and photographs on this website are not a statement that an item is a toy suitable for children.

Small parts, fine detail, and natural wear from handling may present risks for young children. We recommend keeping products away from small children and not using them as playthings for children.

Frequently asked questions

Are Baluzini products children’s toys?
No. We market them as handmade collectibles and decorative miniatures for adults. They are not designed, tested, or certified as toys for children under EU toy safety requirements.
Why is there no CE marking as a toy?
CE marking for toys applies when a product is made available as a toy and meets the Toy Safety Directive after the required conformity assessment. Our products are not offered in that category, so they do not follow that toy conformity route or carry toy CE marking.
Can I give a Baluzini piece to a child?
We do not recommend our products for children. They may include small parts, delicate finishes, and materials that are unsuitable for play or for unsupervised use by young children. Adult collectors should assess risk and supervision themselves.
What does “not officially tested as a toy” mean in practice?
It means we have not completed the legal steps required to claim compliance with the EU toy safety framework for children’s toys (such as the specific safety assessments, technical documentation, and declaration applicable to toys). General product or material safety in other areas is a separate matter.
Where can I read the EU rules on toys?
The European Commission publishes guidance on the Toy Safety Directive and related standards. Official texts and updates are available on EUR-Lex and the Commission’s consumer safety pages. We cannot provide legal interpretation; use official sources or a qualified adviser.

If you are unsure whether an item is appropriate for your situation, contact us before ordering. For regulatory questions, seek independent professional advice.
