Regulations & Certifications for Exporting Silicone Baby Bowls to the US & EU Markets

— A Complete Compliance Guide from YSC, Your Trusted Silicone Baby Tableware Manufacturer

In the booming global baby care market, safety and compliance are paramount — especially when exporting silicone baby bowls to highly regulated regions like the United States and European Union. At YSC, we specialize in the OEM/ODM manufacturing of premium-grade silicone baby products and understand the full scope of international regulatory requirements.

This guide will help international buyers and wholesalers navigate the essential certifications and avoid compliance pitfalls.


1. Key Compliance Regulations for Silicone Baby Bowls

US United States: CPSIA & FDA

  • CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act)

  • Applies to all children’s products sold in the U.S.

  • Requires limits on lead and phthalates, and includes testing for mechanical safety

  • A Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) must accompany shipments

  • FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Standards

  • Materials must be BPA-free, food-grade silicone

  • No harmful chemical migration into food

  • Must withstand heating without deformation or odor


European Union: LFGB & EN 14372

  • LFGB Certification (Germany’s Food and Commodities Law)

  • Ensures material safety for food contact

  • Testing includes migration, organoleptic tests, and chemical resistance

  • Highly trusted for baby tableware in Europe

  • EN 14372 (Children’s Feeding Equipment Standard)

  • Mechanical and physical properties: resistance to tearing, sharp points, small parts

  • Products must be safe for infants to hold and use independently


2. How YSC Ensures Full Compliance

At YSC, we go beyond basic requirements to deliver truly worry-free products:

  • All silicone materials are 100% platinum-cured food-grade, FDA & LFGB compliant

  • We provide third-party testing reports (e.g. SGS, TÜV) for CPSIA, EN 14372, and FDA

  • Custom CPCs (Children's Product Certificates) are available upon request

  • Production facilities are ISO9001 certified, ensuring process traceability and product consistency

  • Every product batch is traceable and includes quality assurance documentation


3. Common Mistakes in Compliance (and How to Avoid Them)

Many buyers unintentionally make these mistakes when sourcing:

  • Believing FDA is a certification — in reality, it’s a testing standard

  • Ignoring regional-specific standards like EN 14372 or CPSIA

  • Forgetting to verify food-grade packaging materials, including ink and coatings

  • Not matching Pantone colors, leading to brand inconsistencies

  • Using non-certified silicone, risking product bans or customer complaints

At YSC, we provide full technical support, including guidance through testing protocols and custom certifications tailored to your export market.


4. What to Look for in a Reliable Supplier

When sourcing silicone baby bowls for export, ask these questions:

  • Do they have proven experience exporting to your target market?

  • Can they provide authentic compliance reports (not just claims)?

  • Are they capable of custom packaging and labeling to meet regional standards?

  • Do they offer low MOQs and scalable production for brand growth?

YSC provides end-to-end OEM/ODM services, including product development, logo embossing, color matching, testing support, and efficient fulfillment — trusted by hundreds of international buyers.
