It's unbelievable! Modern consumers' demand for oral hygiene has far exceeded purely aesthetic considerations, and the rise of health consciousness is redefining the entire market. How can Amazon sellers of oral care products ensure product safety and at the same time satisfy consumers' ever-increasing demands? SGS Taiwan experts have compiled a list of key compliance requirements for cross-border e-commerce sellers of oral care products:
Standards that must be followed for oral hygiene products (e.g. toothpaste, tooth powder, mouthwash, etc.):
- Product additives are subject to strict safety regulations in Taiwan, please refer to the Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Administration Act, Article 3, Section 2 and Health Authorized Food No. 1071610115 for more details.
- Heavy metal testing is the basic threshold and the four heavy metals that must be tested for are arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury.
- Microbial control is also key, with standardized tests covering aerobic counts, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.
- Whether the amount of preservatives added complies with the standard is also a key point of examination.
- Ingredients that should never be included in the product include formaldehyde, western drugs, estrogen, steroids and other harmful substances.
- The biggest problem is that many sellers ignore key factors such as "diethylene glycol, triclosan, pH, effective fluorine content, and product stability" that will directly affect the experience of using the product.
You would never have guessed that "denture cleansing lozenges" are categorized as a Class I medical device, FDA Medical Device Classification Code F3520, with the Chinese and English name "OTC dental appliance Cleanser without prescription". The product packaging must be labeled with a "Medical Device License" and the sales channel must have a "Drug Dealer License", which is crucial for sellers who want to sell this type of product on the Amazon Global Store platform.
Compliance points for oral cleaning aids such as toothbrushes, dental floss and interdental brushes:
- Toothbrush products must comply with Taiwan's CNS 964 and ISO 20126 and other commodity standards, and pass a number of performance tests to verify that the bristles are strong and the handle is durable.
- Electric toothbrushes should not only pay attention to the quality of the bristles, electrical safety is even more critical, must be tested by international standards and regularly updated with relevant quality reports.
- Floss and floss sticks must comply with the ISO international standard, assessing the overall material, shape and strength, and ensuring that they do not contain perfluoroalkyl compounds such as PFOS/PFOA.
- The smoothness of use, firmness of the bristles, durability of the bristles, and the service life of the interdental brushes are determined by specific tests in accordance with ISO international standards.
