1. Why U.S. Standards Matter for Diaper Brands
If you plan to sell diapers in the U.S., compliance is not just a formality — it’s a basic requirement for entering the market.
Parents today care deeply about what touches their baby’s skin. They want diapers that are safe, hypoallergenic, and verified by trusted organizations.
For brands and importers, this means your manufacturer must meet U.S. safety and hygiene standards. Otherwise, your products could face customs delays, certification issues, or even market recalls.
2. Key U.S. Health and Safety Regulations for Diapers
Several agencies and standards define what makes a diaper safe for the U.S. market:
- FDA (Food and Drug Administration):
The FDA oversees materials used in hygiene products, especially those that contact the skin. Manufacturers must use FDA-approved or compliant raw materials. - CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act):
Requires product tracking labels and limits on harmful substances like lead and phthalates. - ISO 9001 & ISO 14001:
International standards for quality management and environmental control, ensuring consistent production and sustainable operations. - Dermatological Testing:
Independent skin-safety tests are often required by importers to confirm that diapers are hypoallergenic and non-irritating.
3. How to Verify If a Factory Meets These Standards
Before working with any diaper manufacturer, it’s worth checking a few things:
- Ask for FDA or SGS certificates related to raw materials.
- Review factory audit reports or ISO certificates.
- Request CPSIA or CPC test reports for finished products.
- Confirm that batch tracking labels are used on packaging.
- If possible, request samples and perform independent testing in your country.
This helps ensure both your product quality and brand credibility in the U.S. market.

Many new brands underestimate how strict U.S. compliance can be. Here are some mistakes to watch out for:
- Choosing materials without verified certificates.
- Ignoring labeling requirements (like batch tracking).
- Not keeping documentation for customs checks.
- Skipping pre-shipment quality inspection.
