Solving Compliance Challenges: How Our CE-Certified Pacifier Set the Standard

Navigating European safety standards such as EN1400, REACH, VOC, and heavy metal migration tests can be daunting for baby product manufacturers. Recently, a client approached us with a pacifier design that faced significant hurdles to CE certification due to its exposed plastic ring structure.

Initially, the client's pacifier featured a partially exposed plastic ring enclosed in silicone. While visually appealing, this design had a critical flaw: The plastic material required, typically PP or ABS, could not withstand the 200°C temperature during silicone molding. Using alternatives like Nylon or PC solved the temperature issue but failed to comply with essential food-grade certifications, making CE certification impossible.

Recognizing the challenge, our expert R&D team innovated a fully encapsulated plastic ring design within the silicone structure. This groundbreaking adjustment allowed us to use suitable high-temperature-resistant materials while achieving compliance with all required tests, including:

• EN1400 Safety Test
• VOC Emissions Test
• Olive Oil Extraction Test
• REACH Compliance
• Phthalate-Free Testing
• Heavy Metal Migration Test
• Volatile Substances Test

By completely enclosing the plastic ring within silicone, our improved pacifier became fully compliant, achieving CE certification effortlessly.

This successful innovation not only resolved our client’s compliance challenge but also reinforced our reputation as an industry leader capable of turning complex regulatory issues into market opportunities.
