Articles for babies - Peru

The Ministry of Health (Minsa) approved on June 7, 2022, the regulations for the sanitary registration of baby products. The standard applies to items intended for liquid feeding, including feeding bottles, food bags, feeding cups, and teats. In addition, for entertainment and development products for the baby’s teeth, such as the pacifier (pacifier or lollipop) and teether.

Thus, the legal provision mentions that these goods must be safe and not contain prohibited or restricted substances, contained in the list established by the Health Authority.

For quality and safety compliance, as well as the materials used to manufacture these products, the specific international reference standards for these types of products should be considered, such as ISO standards, the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or another internationally recognized equivalent standard, as well as safety alerts and recommendations from the World Health Organization or regulatory authorities in other countries.

The regulations also specify the requirements and documents that will be presented to obtain the sanitary registry, as well as the safety quality that these articles must comply with.
