Nitrosamines in Rubber Pacifier Nipples Standard Reinstated by ASTM International
BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / December 02, 2025 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 171.25, reporting on the reinstatement of the ASTM International standard F1313-25 ‘Standard Specification for Volatile N-nitrosamine Levels in Rubber Nipples on Pacifiers’.
This October 2025 update re-establishes restrictions contained in ASTM F1313-90 (reapproved 2011). The standard was withdrawn in January 2020 and subsequently reinstated in September 2025. The October update addresses seven volatile N-nitrosamines, which can form and become carcinogenic in products such as the rubber materials used to make infant pacifier nipples. These restrictions are now included in ASTM F1313-25.
SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 171.25 includes a useful table clarifying the N-nitrosamines included in the scope of ASTM F1313-25.
Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 171.25 for more details.
