Relevance of the topic of research quality and safety of children’s toys is dictated by the probability of using the hazardous materials in the production of children's toy. This can lead to damage both of the environment and directly of the health of the child. Chemical composition of the toy or its particular parts shouldn’t have negative impact on the child's body especially in cases  of  swallowing,  inhaling  or  touching  the  skin,  mucous  membrane,  eyes.  It  is  also  necessary  to  take  into  account  the technological advances in the toys market, which put up the safety of toys issue caused by new technologies implementation and led to increase concern among consumers. 

Legislative requirements of normative documentation concerning the safety of children's toys are constantly reviewed and some aspects of them are intensified. While their introducing considerable attention is paid to the migration of toxic elements from toys materials. It is important to choose a modern method of studying the migration of chemical elements in the certain samples of toys, which provides an opportunity to guarantee the quality and reliability of the results. Using atomic emission spectrometry with inductively  coupled  plasma  gives  a  wide  possibility  of  the  studying  the  content  of  most  known  chemical  elements  and  the establishing the migration limits of these elements from toys materials in particular.

The article presents data on the determination of the actual content of chemical elements in materials of children's toys of the third category of domestic and  foreign production by  the method of atomic emission spectrometry with  inductively coupled plasma. Further analysis of  the obtained  results of  the content of  chemical elements of  the studied samples of  toys  for children regarding compliance with the requirements of the current legislation safety of toys has been carried out.
