Since the beginning of this year Colruyt and Dreamland control all the toys they import from non-European countries. The XRF scanner searches for heavy metals like lead, quicksilver and others of which the level in toys is legally limited. Only those parts for which the scanner gives a warning are send to an extern lab for further analysis. This scanner was developed to detect heavy metals in electrical machines but it has proven its purpose for testing toys. Thanks to the pre-selection, the extern lab can test more purposeful and Colruyt and Dreamland can complete the test procedure quicker. In 2008 they will have scanned 1200 items.
