Chemco Group is the first to get BIS Certification for its Baby Feeding Bottle Nipples/Teats

Gaurav Saraogi, MD Chemco Group

We all know that Baby nipples/teats require high quality and care to ensure there is no contamination during manufacturing because the product is used directly into the baby's mouth. To get this certificate (IS 3565) the company first needs to set up a special laboratory which is very costly and requires a large investment. The Indian Standards, IS 14625 which is the standard for Baby feeding bottles already specifies that all the nipples/teats made from rubber or silicone should follow IS 3565 but this instruction is not followed by any manufacturing company.

On achieving this feat, Managing Director of Chemco, Mr. Gaurav Saraogi said, "We will leave no stone unturned in bringing all of the finest quality standards to India, even if it is not mandatory. No one wants to compromise quality when it comes to their child and we feel it is our duty as manufacturers to provide them with the correct product and not deceive them. There has always been some ambiguity as to whether IS 3565 is mandatory or not and we are engaging with the BIS department to clarify this for the benefit of our fellow Indians".

"We at Chemco highly recommend that IS 3565 should be made mandatory to keep a check on low-quality suppliers and force them to raise their quality standards for Indian consumers", added Mr. Saraogi.

As citizens of India, we should ask this question to manufacturing companies on why these standards are not being adhered to?
