Our products, thus our race circuits, are subject to a number of strict European safety norms such as EN62115 (safety in electrical toys). This norm states that from 1998 onwards adjustable transformers may no longer be used in the toy sector. Model railway manufacturers were given a transitional deadline of 2002 to find suitable alternatives. Now this deadline has been passed they are also subject to the ban on the production, sale and distribution of such adjustable transformers.
