Sound familiar?

🛍️

You sell toys on Etsy, at craft fairs, or through your own shop, and you want to do it properly.

🔨

You make them yourself, at home, in a small studio or workshop, using a 3D printer, crochet hook, sewing machine, or woodworking tools.

📋

You know there's paperwork involved, but declarations of conformity and EN71 testing feel like a different world.

MakerSafe is built for you.

Risk assessment

Initial and residual risk, both captured

For each hazard, record severity and likelihood before and after your mitigation. MakerSafe calculates both risk scores and flags anything that needs further attention, so your Technical File tells the complete story.

Residual risk after mitigation
Type-specific suggested hazards

Built to the letter of UK law

Every document output — Declaration of Conformity, Technical File, and batch labels — maps directly to the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1881).

Developed with local authorities

We're working with Trading Standards officers at several local authorities to make sure what MakerSafe produces is in line with what they actually expect to see from small manufacturers.

Honest about its limits

MakerSafe is a documentation tool, not a rubber stamp. It tells you clearly what it does and doesn't cover, and won't let you generate documents without the evidence to back them up.
