EU REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a regulation for the EU to preventively manage all chemicals entering its market. For natural fiber products, REACH certification also applies to ensure the safety and compliance of these products in the EU market.
The following is a detailed process for EU REACH testing and certification of natural fiber products:
1. Consultation and preparation
- Consultation: The applicant provides product pictures and information, and consults the testing agency about the relevant requirements and procedures for REACH certification.
- Information preparation: Provide a component analysis report of the product, including the type of natural fiber, the substance and content of additives, possible harmful substances, etc.
2. Quotation and application
- Quotation: The testing agency determines the test items based on the information provided by the applicant and quotes the applicant.
- Application confirmation: After the applicant confirms the quotation, fill in the test application form and pay the fee.
- Sample submission: Send the sample to the testing agency, usually multiple samples need to be submitted to ensure the accuracy of the test.
3. Laboratory testing
- Sample preparation: Select appropriate natural fiber product samples and determine the test methods and conditions.
- Test items:
- Chemical composition analysis: Detect the chemical composition in natural fiber products to ensure that they do not contain harmful substances.
- Hazardous substance testing: Detect whether natural fiber products contain carcinogens, toxic ingredients, persistent biochemical substances, etc.
- SVHC testing: Detect whether the product contains substances of very high concern (SVHC) to ensure that they do not exceed the legal limit.
- Test cycle: Usually takes 5-7 working days, depending on the number and complexity of samples.
4. Result analysis and report
- Result analysis: The laboratory analyzes the test results to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
- Report writing: Write a detailed test report based on the test results, and the report should contain detailed information and results of all test items.
- Report review: The testing agency reviews the report to ensure that it complies with the EU REACH regulations.
5. Certification and Certificate Issuance
- Certification: If the test results meet the EU REACH regulations, the testing agency will issue a REACH test report.
- Certificate Issuance: Issue a certificate of conformity with the REACH test to prove that the product meets the EU REACH regulations.
Through the above process, natural fiber products can obtain EU REACH testing and certification to ensure their safety and compliance in the EU market, thereby smoothly entering the EU market.
