European foreword
This document (EN 1400:2013+A2:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 252
“Child care articles”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2019, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by March 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2014-02-25 and Amendment 2, approved
by CEN on 2018-04-23.
This document supersedes #EN 1400:2013+A1:2014$.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !"
and #$.
This document has been prepared under a mandate (M/264) given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This standard is linked to the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) but no Annex ZA is needed
because GPSD is not a New Approach Directive and does not include Essential Requirements to which
such an annex should refer.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Soothers are widely used throughout Europe to satisfy non-nutritive sucking needs and to pacify
children.
They are designed to be in the mouths of babies and young children for long periods. Accidents, some of
which have been fatal, have occurred in the past and a prime purpose of this standard is to reduce the
risk of accidents occurring in the future. It is stressed that this European Standard cannot eliminate all
possible risks to babies and young children using such a product and that parental or guardian control
is of paramount importance. It is essential that all warnings and instructions specified in this standard
are given clearly by the manufacturer, to allow the consumer to ensure that the soother is used
correctly and safely.
This European Standard harmonises minimum safety requirements and test methods for soothers. Most
of the provisions have been taken from other existing national and European Standards.
It is recommended that manufacturers and suppliers operate to EN ISO 9001, the standard for quality
management systems [1]. It is also recommended that laboratories operate to ISO/IEC 17025, General
requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories [4].
In addition, it is recognised that some organisations require reference testing. A suggested sampling
plan and compliance levels for freshly manufactured soothers are provided in Annex E (informative).
This procedure can be used as a voluntary type approval procedure.
Latex protein allergy risk has not been included in this standard. Nevertheless, provision for packaging
information for soothers containing natural rubber has been made in this standard. There is no
published information that sensitisation is caused by soother teats. In addition, there is an extremely
low incidence of latex protein allergy among young children and babies. However, the issue of
subsequent allergic reaction from rubber teats will be reconsidered when further information becomes
available.
Phthalates have not been included in this standard because the use of phthalates in childcare articles is
restricted by Annex XVII of REACH Regulation [5].
A normative annex has been included which contains translations of warning phrases into the main
European languages.
# Since the publication of EN 1400:2013+A1:2014 it has come to the attention of the Technical
Committee that some of the TDI's used to calculate the limits of a certain number of element migration
from soothers are out of date. During the drafting of this amendment the Technical committee reviewed
all the previous sources of TDI's to ascertain the current state of knowledge.
The migration limits for Arsenic, Barium, and Nickel have been changed to reflect the latest information.
In addition migration limits for Chromium VI and Organic Tin have been added.
The Technical Committee has also included a requirement for Bisphenol A (BPA) in soothers based on
the most recent TDI from the 2015 EFSA Opinion and an A-Deviation from France.$
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies safety requirements relating to the materials, construction,
performance, packaging and product information for soothers.
This European Standard is applicable to products that resemble or function as a soother. Some soothers
may be marketed with other functions. This standard is applicable to these products (some examples
are given in Annex C).
This European Standard does not apply to products designed for specialist clinical medical applications,
e.g. those relating to Pierre-Robin Syndrome or premature babies (see Annex C).
The standard is not applicable to feeding teats. Safety requirements and test methods for feeding teats
are included in all parts of EN 14350 [2], [3].
