BIS Certification for Glass Feeding Bottles – IS 5168:2018

BIS Certification for Glass Feeding Bottles – IS 5168:2018

A Complete Compliance Guide by A2Z BIS Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

When it comes to baby care products, safety is non-negotiable. One of the most widely used items in infant care is the glass feeding bottle — and it must meet strict standards for hygiene, strength, and thermal resistance.

To ensure this, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandates ISI mark certification under IS 5168:2018 for all glass feeding bottles sold in India.

Whether you're a manufacturer, importer, or private label seller, A2Z BIS Solutions Pvt. Ltd. helps you navigate the full certification process with expert support — so you can stay compliant and consumer-trusted.

What Is IS 5168:2018?

IS 5168:2018 is the Indian Standard for glass feeding bottles meant for infant use. It covers safety, performance, and labeling requirements across:

• Material: Only safe, sterilizable borosilicate or soda-lime glass allowed

• Thermal shock resistance: Must withstand boiling and sterilization

• Mechanical strength: Must resist breakage under normal use

• Volume accuracy: Graduation markings must be accurate and visible

• Finish: Smooth edges, non-toxic paints, no internal cracks

• Hygiene: Non-porous, easy-to-clean surface

• Labeling: Must carry ISI mark, capacity, care instructions, batch number, and manufacturer details

This standard ensures that every bottle is safe, durable, and hygienic for everyday use by parents and infants.
