Standards and certifications

Pacifiers

All BIBS pacifiers are certified to conform to the EU directive concerned with safety, health, and environment: EN 1400+A2.

The standard is divided into three parts:

• General safety requirements
• Mechanical requirements
• Chemical requirements specify safety requirements relating to the materials, construction, performance, packaging, and product information for soothers.

Pacifier clips

Our pacifier clip is certified according to applicable safety requirements in Europe and the EN 12586 standard. The standard mainly focuses on potential chemical hazards and strangulation hazards caused by pacifier holders that are too long.

The standard covers:

• Material restrictions
• Safety measures
• Mechanical testing
• Chemical testing
• Instruction for use
• Packaging
• Dimensional measurement

In addition, the clip itself is tested according to EN 1400:2018-11 which
covers nickel release. Further, our pacifier clip is made of 100% organic
cotton, and the wooden details are FSC-approved.

Toys

We strive for all the cardboard and paper we use in our packaging, as well as the wood we use in our pacifier clip to be FSC-approved. For BIBS corporate social responsibility and sustainability are more than just buzzwords. We want to be part of the solution when it comes to environmental and social issues. That is why using FSC-approved materials is important forus.
