Guide to the EU ROHS and halogen testing of pearl cotton. Pearl cotton (EPE) is a material widely used in the packaging industry. It is favored by many companies for its excellent cushioning performance and lightweight characteristics. In order to ensure that pearl cotton products meet the environmental protection and safety requirements of the EU market, ROHS and halogen testing is necessary. The following is a guide to the EU ROHS and halogen testing of pearl cotton.

1. EU ROHS testing of pearl cotton

ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. These hazardous substances include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Testing process

1. Consultation and preparation

- The applicant provides product pictures and information to the testing agency to understand the specific requirements and procedures of the test.

- Prepare detailed information about the product, including ingredients, production process, instructions for use, etc.

2. Quotation and Application

- The testing agency determines the test items and quotes the applicant based on the information provided by the applicant.

- After the applicant confirms the quotation, fill in the test application form and pay the fee.

3. Sample Submission

- Prepare enough samples according to the test requirements.

- Send the samples to the testing agency, usually to the designated laboratory for testing.

4. Sample Testing

- Comprehensive Migration Test: Test whether the product will migrate harmful substances when in contact with food.

- Special Test: Depending on the product type and usage scenario, other specific tests may be required.

5. Test Results and Report

- After the testing is completed, the testing agency will issue detailed test results.

- If the product meets the ROHS standard, the testing agency will issue a ROHS test report.

2. EPE Halogen Detection

Halogen detection is to ensure that the product does not contain harmful halogen elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc. These elements produce toxic substances when burned, and can exist in the environment for many years, or even accumulate in organisms for life.

3. Things to note when choosing a testing agency

- Qualification certification: Make sure that the testing agency has relevant qualification certifications, such as CNAS, CMA, etc. These certifications can ensure the accuracy of the test results.

- Professionalism: Choose an agency that focuses on environmental testing, and its equipment and technicians should have relevant professional knowledge and experience.

- Service quality: The service attitude and response speed of the testing agency are also important factors in the selection. Good service can improve the efficiency of testing.

- Price transparency: Understand the testing costs, choose a cost-effective testing agency, and avoid hidden charges.

4. Post-test processing

- Find the cause of the problem: If the test results do not meet the standards, analyze why the sample contains harmful substances, which may involve raw material procurement, production process and other aspects.

- Material replacement: Find alternative materials that meet ROHS and halogen testing standards to ensure product compliance.

- Improved process: Strengthen quality control during production to avoid similar problems.

Through the above process, you can ensure that the pearl cotton products meet the ROHS and halogen testing requirements of the EU market and enter the EU market smoothly. If you have other questions or need further help, please feel free to ask questions.
