At a glance. Check the material source, batch traceability and how changes affect the testing records.
Context
We visited silicone manufacturers in Dongguan and Shenzhen while qualifying suppliers for products including a children’s range. The client’s name and exact unit prices are confidential. The project remains in supplier qualification.
What to check
We define the intended use, age range, material specification and countries of sale before requesting prices. Ask who purchases the raw material, how batches are identified and what changes with a new pigment, shape or package.
Our approach
For the U.S., identify the applicable children’s product rules and required testing. For Canada, verify the relevant requirements with Health Canada for the specific use. Ask for support for any BPA-free claim.
