How to distinguish whether a pacifier meets national security standards?
1. When selecting, pay attention to whether the ventilation hole of the baffle is not less than 20 square millimeters
The pacifier contained in the mouth of infants and young children must consider the safety of the product. The 2 ventilation holes on the left and right sides of the pacifier play an important role.
If a pacifier accidentally gets stuck in a baby's mouth, these small holes can still maintain breathing and prevent suffocation.
At the same time, the ventilation hole can also reduce the risk of low air pressure caused by breathing, so that the pacifier is inhaled into the nasal area behind the pharynx.
The area of the vent on the baffle of the "Regulations on the Safety Requirements for Infant Pacifiers" is not less than 20 square millimeters, that is, the size of the general straw opening, and the number of vents is not less than 2.
20 square millimeters is to ensure that the child has enough air volume, is to prevent the child in the process of use in case one of the holes is blocked, the other hole can play a safe breathing role.
Detection method: The area of the vent should reach 20 square millimeters, that is, the size of the general straw opening, as long as a straw is placed in the vent of the pacifier, it can be put in.
2. The pull ring and bezel should have integrity
The integrity test of the pull ring and the baffle, which is required to be maintained for 10 seconds at a tensile force of 90 newtons, is repeatedly verified for the reason why the size of the tensile force is specified in the national standard as 90 newtons.
If this tension can still maintain integrity after the 90 Newton test, it means that the components on this product will not be easily detached, ensuring the safety of the product.
3. Choose a non-odorless, non-toxic pacifier
The material of the nipple part of the pacifier is mainly latex and silicone.
From the comparison of silicone and latex materials, it is recommended that silicone materials be more safe and durable.
If the pacifier material does not meet the requirements, the harm that may be caused to the child is not easy to be found by parents, according to the requirements of infant pacifiers, the volatile compound requirements can not exceed 0.5% of the total amount of objects.
Volatiles may contain organic solvents such as acetone, butanone, ethyl acetate, and absolute ethanol, and if the volatile content of these substances exceeds the standard, it may cause chronic poisoning in the baby's body.
Identification method: some volatiles with excessive content usually emit a smell, the mother can pick it up and smell it, or put it in boiling water to boil for a few minutes, if there is a pungent smell emitted, it is not suitable for the baby to use.
4. Select the complete product information
Complete product information includes product brand, production specifications, color, material, net weight, use precautions and other information, if there is no complete product information, it is a serious violation of the requirements of the product quality law, should not be selected.
