On 25 November 2025, Taiwan's Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI 經濟部標準檢驗局) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) published the following Notice on the Legal Inspection Requirements for Soother Holders (安撫奶嘴夾). Product classification number: 3926.90.90.90.8-E.

Notice

經濟部標準檢驗局公告:預告「應施檢驗安撫奶嘴夾商品之相關檢驗規定」草案 (Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, MOEA Notice is Hereby Given, To Commence a Period of Public Comments for Drafting "Legal Inspection Requirements for Soother Holders")

Reasons for the Requirements

BSMI's market surveillance has shown that 67% of randomly purchased soother holders failed the physical performance tests. In response to several “Safety Gate alerts” and public concerns over the safety risks posed by soother holders, including the potential for choking and strangulation that may endanger infants and children, BSMI intends to include these products within the scope of mandatory inspection to ensure their safety and quality.
