Thailand’s Ministry of Industry has mandated the use of TIS 1025-2562 (2019) as the standard for pacifiers.

Largely based on EN 1400:2013+A1:2014, this industry standard contains requirements relating to:
• Materials

The standard requires specific pacifier materials/components to conform to certain chemicals/tests concerning:
• Migration of 17 elements
• Release of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances
• 2-mercaptobenzothiazole release
• Antioxidant release
• Formaldehyde release
• Bisphenol A (BPA) release
• Colorfastness
• Volatile compound content

To see a list of the migration requirements for the 17 elements, see SGS’s original SafeGuard 098/21.

TIS 1025-2562 (2019) is based upon information from manufacturers and users, and with reference to the following documents:

• EN 1400:2003+A2:2017 ‘Child use and care articles – Soothers for babies and young children – Safety requirements and test methods’
