The starting point for testing toys is a preliminary age grading evaluation which establisheswhich age the article should be considered as suitable.

Knowledge of the several stages of cognitive, emotional and motor development allow our psycologists to establish the age in which children are able to use the analysed toys in a safe and agreeable way.

Age grading evaluation is based on the different international guidelines: European Commission, ISO, ASTM, Australian and Canadian.

A specific "age grading evaluation report” is enclosed with the Certificate issued by ICQ. The manufacturer then has the documentation stating the age grading has been carried out in an accurate and professional way.
