Essence of the research

When examining children's non-food products, it is especially important to consider identification, age appropriateness, completeness, assembly quality, labeling, and features affecting safe use. The chemical and sanitary safety of materials is tested in laboratories.

Who conducts the research

Examination of children's non-food products in Moscow is conducted by product examination expert Andrey Viktorovich. When working, the object, documents, posed questions, technical documentation, condition of the goods, signs of use, damages, completeness, and possibility of further use are taken into account.

Objects and materials of the research

strollers, chairs, playpens, and carriers
toys and creative goods
children's furniture and sleep accessories
backpacks, textiles, and seasonal goods

Characteristic defects and controversial signs

instability and joint defects
sharp edges and exposed fasteners
seam, coating, and protective part ruptures
inconsistency of contents and labeling

What the product examination expert determines

Identification of the object and its compliance with the submitted documents
Presence, location, and severity of defects, damages, and other commodity signs
Probable stage and mechanism of formation of the identified deficiencies
Impact of defects on completeness, appearance, and usability
Sufficiency of product examination methods or the need for another specialist

Questions that can be posed to the expert

Are there any defects in design, assembly, or finishing?
Does the product correspond to the intended age and completeness?
Does the defect prevent normal use?
Are laboratory tests of the material needed?

How the research is conducted

Preservation of the object, its labeling, and connection with documents are checked
Signs related to the following objects are recorded: strollers, chairs, playpens and carriers, toys and creative goods
Photographic documentation is performed, and if necessary — available measurements and comparison of similar elements
The actual condition is compared with the contract, instructions, acts, and the chronology of events
Conclusions are formulated separately for each issue, indicating any limitations

Documents and source information

packaging, instructions, and labels
document of purchase and product card
the full set of parts and accessories
information on assembly and service life

Scope of competence

Without laboratory tests, it is impossible to reliably determine chemical composition, substance migration, toxicity, and sanitary-chemical indicators. The product expert records external signs and determines the need for a laboratory.

Cost and timeframe

The cost is determined after examining the object, the number of issues, the volume of documents, the need for a site visit, laboratory work, or the involvement of other specialists. Before starting the study, the scope of work, timeframe, price, and format of the final document are agreed upon.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to start with photographs?

Yes. Competence, the composition of materials, and the need for inspection can be determined from photographs and documents. A categorical conclusion about the nature of a defect usually requires direct examination of the object.

What if the object has already been repaired or modified?

It is necessary to provide acts, work orders, and photographs before intervention. The report separately considers which features could have been lost or altered.

Will the report be suitable for a claim or court?

Yes. A specialist's report can be used for a claim, negotiations, preparation of a lawsuit, objections, or a motion for appointment of a judicial examination. If the examination is appointed by the court, the final document is issued as an expert’s report within the scope of the questions posed.
