Perfume Bottle EU REACH SVHC Test Certification Report
I. Basic Concepts of REACH and SVHC
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is the EU regulation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals. It is the core entry threshold for chemicals and their applications in the EU market.
SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) refers to chemical substances that may have serious effects on human health or the environment. Currently, the SVHC list contains more than 240 substances and is continuously updated.
II. Why Perfume Bottles Require REACH SVHC Testing
As packaging materials that come into direct contact with the skin, perfume bottles may contain glass, metals (aluminum caps, electroplated layers), and plastics (spray nozzles, droppers), among other materials. If these materials contain SVHC substances, the following risks will be faced:
| Risk Type | Specific Impacts
| Market Access | Inability to sell in the EU market
| Legal Liability | Facing recalls, fines, and other penalties
| Brand Reputation | Damage to corporate image and consumer trust
| Supply Chain Risk | Downstream products will be affected
III. Main Testing Items
1. SVHC Screening Test
Each component of the perfume bottle (bottle body, cap, spray nozzle, sealing ring, etc.) is screened individually.
To confirm whether it contains substances of very high concern listed.
2. Material Composition Analysis
Glass: Heavy metal (e.g., lead, cadmium) leaching detection
Metal: Nickel release, aluminum content, alloy composition analysis
Plastic: Phthalate, bisphenol A, and other plasticizer detection
3. Comprehensive Migration Testing
Migration levels of chemicals in different food/cosmetic simulants
Ensuring no harm to human health under normal use conditions

2. Material Composition Description of Each Component
3. Product Images (Overall + Details)
4. REACH SVHC Test Application Form
5. Supply Chain Declaration (if any)
VI. Precautions and Recommendations
Dynamic List Updates: The SVHC substance list is updated 2-3 times annually. It is recommended to regularly monitor the latest updates.
Full Component Coverage: Testing must cover all components of the perfume bottle, ensuring no material is omitted.
Supply Chain Collaboration: Ensure raw material suppliers provide compliance declarations to form a complete compliance chain.
Comprehensive Certification: In addition to REACH, perfume bottles typically also need to consider the comprehensive requirements of EU Packaging Directives, Cosmetic Regulations, etc.
Summary: For perfume bottles exported to the EU market, REACH SVHC testing is an essential compliance step. It is recommended to choose a third-party testing organization with CNAS/CMA accreditation to ensure the authority and validity of the report.
