Fancy dress clothing for Children is already specifically regulated for flammability under the Toys Safety Directive, as a part of standard BSEN71-2. Department for Business officials will meet with a range of interested parties to discuss their concerns. We will also work with Trading Standards to investigate compliance with current fancy dress safety regulation.
