Measures to Ensure Safety in Product Development

Tokyo Disney Resort

In developing products, we implement measures to ensure guests’ safety by assuming all kinds of potential risk. For example, we have a set of safety standards in place for children’s products to make sure that they can withstand forces such as impacts and biting. In addition, we put all merchandise through dropping, tensile and compression tests as well as chemical examinations to confirm their safety.
