As far as I know it applies to anything where there's a risk the chemical can affect the body. Like food and cosmetics (and the containers if there's a chance that anything can leach into the product), but I can imagine it also applies to clothing fabric because it's worn on the skin for a long time. Door handles and things like that? Less likely. But definitely toys, because children can (and will) chew on them.
