Caption: Product safety testing. Technician analysing paint removed from toys to ensure that it is safe for children. Before testing, the paint is dissolved in acid and incubated at 37 degrees Celsius to mimic the conditions of the human gut. This helps to determine whether the paint is safe if ingested. Photographed at the joint laboratory of the DGCCRF (General Directorate of Competition, Consumption and Repression of Frauds) and French customs, Marseille, France.
