Expert Sourcing & Compliance Solutions for BABY products
OUR PROCESS
Step 1: Understanding your needs
Our team collaborates with you to define detailed product specifications that comply with both EU and USA standards. For safety, we ensure alignment with EN 71 standards in the EU and ASTM F963 or CPSIA standards in the USA. We verify all materials meet REACH regulations in the EU and CPSIA guidelines for phthalates and lead content in the USA. Additionally, we handle fire safety compliance adhering to EN 71-2 in the EU and 16 CFR Part 1610 in the USA. By identifying certifications that bridge both regions, we streamline the compliance process, saving you time and money.
Step 2: Finding Reliable Suppliers
We take the lead in identifying reliable suppliers for baby products. We source manufacturers with proven expertise in exporting to both the EU and USA markets. Supplier credentials are carefully verified, ensuring compliance with safety and ethical standards like BSCI, Sedex, or ICTI certifications. Sustainability certifications, such as FSC for wooden toys or OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for textiles, are prioritized. We ensure each supplier meets dual standards to minimize risks in production and compliance.
Step 3: Sample Development
We oversee the development of prototypes to ensure baby products meet international safety standards. Samples are tested for mechanical hazards (e.g., choking, sharp edges) under EN 71-1 in the EU and ASTM F963 in the USA. Chemical testing ensures compliance with REACH for the EU and CPSIA limits on phthalates, lead, and heavy metals in the USA. Durability and fire safety testing are performed to meet both regions’ regulations. We work closely with suppliers to perfect each sample before production begins.
Step 4: Quality Checks
We conduct comprehensive quality checks to guarantee baby products meet the strictest standards for safety and quality. Inspections occur during production to identify potential issues early. Pre-shipment checks confirm compliance with labeling, packaging, and functional safety requirements. Trusted third-party testing agencies like TÜV, SGS, or Intertek validate certifications, ensuring adherence to EU and USA regulations for child safety, durability, and chemical compliance.
Step 5: Negotiation & Production
We manage negotiations and production with your interests in mind. Pricing and terms are negotiated to accommodate dual compliance costs, including testing, certifications, and safety labeling requirements. Our team oversees production schedules to maintain consistency and address regional variations, such as safety labels under CPSIA for the USA or CE markings for the EU. Open communication with suppliers ensures smooth progress and quick resolution of any issues.
Step 6: Logistics Coordination
We coordinate logistics to ensure timely and safe delivery of baby products. Our team handles all packaging and labeling requirements, including CE marks and age warnings for the EU and CPSIA compliance labels for the USA. Customs documentation and certifications, such as REACH, CPSIA, and OEKO-TEX, are prepared in advance. Shipping routes are optimized to ensure efficient delivery to warehouses or distribution centers across both regions.
