New industry standards published for makers of baby-feeding bottles

China's producers of baby-feeding bottles have published the country's first industrywide standards for the bottles and their nipples.

The standards even exceed those of the West in some aspects, the producers say.

"The standards combine China's hygiene requirements and safety standards on materials with those of other countries and regions, including Europe and the United States," said Liang Mei, executive vice-president and secretary-general of the China Toy & Juvenile Products Association.
