QUALITY HUB
Don't take our word for it. Take the lab's.
Every claim on this site is designed to be checkable: the standard it's tested against, the lab that tested it, and the batch it applies to. This page explains the regime; the documents publish at launch.
The four-gate regime
- GATE 01
Factory audit
Before we place a purchase order, the factory is audited — capability, materials, social compliance. Audit photos are date-stamped and archived per supplier.
- GATE 02
Pre-shipment inspection
Third-party QC (SGS/Bureau Veritas/Intertek class) samples every batch at the factory against an AQL plan before containers seal.
- GATE 03
NABL lab testing
Samples from each import batch go to NABL-accredited labs in India for the governing IS/EN/ASTM tests. Reports carry batch numbers.
- GATE 04
Batch traceability
Every carton is labelled with the batch it belongs to — the lab report on the product page is the report for that batch, not a generic certificate.
Standards we test against
Green chips on product cards refer to these. Where a mandatory Indian standard exists, it governs; EN and ASTM are tested in addition, not instead.
| STANDARD | COVERS | ZUBBU CATEGORIES |
|---|---|---|
| IS 9873 (Parts 1–9) | Non-electric toys — mechanical, flammability and chemical safety | Teethers, rattles, soft toys, activity gear |
| IS 15644 | Electric toys | Musical toys, night lights, sleep soothers |
| IS 14625:2015 | Plastic feeding bottles | Bottles, sippy cups |
| IS 6229 | Pacifiers and soothers | Pacifiers, teething accessories |
| EN 1888 | Wheeled child conveyances | Strollers, prams, travel systems |
| ECE R44 / R129 | Child restraint systems | Car seats, boosters |
| ASTM F963-23 | US toy safety standard (reference) | Cross-checked on toy imports |
| OEKO-TEX Standard 100 | Harmful-substance testing for textiles | Apparel, swaddles, bedding |
What publishes at launch
- BIS licence numbers, verifiable on the BIS portal
- NABL lab reports as downloadable PDFs, per batch
- Factory audit summaries with dates and locations
- A public supplier-failure log — what we rejected, and why
What we won't do
- Show badges for certifications we don't hold
- Quote "happy parents" counters we can't substantiate
- Use a generic certificate to cover an untested batch
- Promote feeding bottles or infant foods for 0–2 years — the IMS Act, 1992 prohibits it, and we comply
