Una década de trabajo del Registro Sanitario de Juguetes en Cuba Ten years of work related to the health registry of toys in Cuba

Abstract

Los juguetes son un instrumento vital para el desarrollo de los niños y las niñas, por lo que es una prioridad el cumplimiento de los requisitos de su seguridad para evitar así riesgos de daño a la salud. Una herramienta eficaz para verificar y controlar la seguridad de los juguetes, es su certificación sanitaria. En Cuba, previo a su comercialización, los juguetes se someten al proceso de registro sanitario, el cual culmina con el otorgamiento del certificado sanitario que avala su inocuidad. El objetivo de este artículo es brindar una síntesis del trabajo realizado por el Registro Sanitario de Juguetes en Cuba en el período 1999-2009 y brindar algunas consideraciones para mejorar esta actividad. En una década de trabajo se aprobaron 1993 certificados, se rechazaron 79 referencias de juguetes por diferentes causas, entre ellas, deficiencias en la terminación del producto, etiquetado inexistente o incorrecto y problemas en el diseño. Se ha brindado asesoría técnica a las empresas que forman parte de la cadena de distribución, impartido conferencias y cursos y participado en talleres que permitieron el intercambio entre los especialistas. En la actualidad se trabaja en el fortalecimiento de los requisitos de seguridad para los juguetes en concordancia con los progresos científicos, la evolución del mercado y el mayor conocimiento acerca de cuestiones de salud y seguridad.Toys are a vital tool for the development of children, thus, it is a priority the fulfillment of requirement of its safe to avoid the risks of health damage.
