Leather Gloves EU REACH Chemical Test Report
I. Product Overview and Testing Necessity
As consumer products that come into direct contact with the skin, leather gloves must comply with the REACH regulation to be sold in the EU market. The REACH regulation imposes strict regulations on the chemical safety of consumer products. The tanning agents, dyes, fixatives, and other chemicals used in the production of leather gloves may contain hazardous substances; therefore, systematic chemical testing is necessary to ensure product safety.
II. Main Testing Items
1. SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) Screening
| Substance Category | Common Testing Items
| Azo Dyes | 24 Aromatic Amines including 4-Aminobiphenyl and Benzidine
| Heavy Metals | Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Arsenic, Barium, etc.
| Phthalate Esters | 6 Restricted Plasticizers including DEHP, DBP, and BBP
| Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) | 16 PAH Compounds including Naphthalene, Phenylenol, and Pyrene
2. Appendix XVII Restricted Substances
Ni Nickel Release: For parts in direct contact with skin, the nickel release limit is 0.5 μg/cm²/week.
Formaldehyde Content: Strict control is required for products in direct contact with skin.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP): A commonly used preservative for leather, with a limit of 5 mg/kg.
Hexavalent Chromium: A potentially harmful substance found in leather.
3. Other Hazardous Substances
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs)
Organotin compounds
Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO)
III. Testing Methods and Standards
| Testing Methods | Applicable Items
| GC-MS | Azo dyes, phthalates, PAHs
| ICP-OES/MS | Quantitative analysis of heavy metal elements
| EN ISO 105-E04 | Sweat stain method for the detection of migratable hazardous substances
| EN 1811 | Nickel release test (direct contact with skin)
| EN ISO 17226-2 | Formaldehyde content determination
IV. Main Structure of the Report
1. Basic Information: Product name, model, material, production batch
2. Testing Basis: REACH regulations and related testing standards
3. Test Results: Comparison of the detected values and limits for each substance
4. Conclusion: Pass/Fail and explanation of non-compliance items
5. Appendix List: Testing Methods, Equipment, and Laboratory Qualifications
V. Application Process
Submit Application → Fill in Product Material Information → Send Representative Samples → Laboratory Testing → Issue Test Report → Prepare Compliance Declaration
VI. Notes
1. Sample Preparation: A representative whole leather glove sample is required.
2. Material Separation: Different leather materials (e.g., sheepskin, pigskin, cowhide) must be tested separately.
3. Metal Accessories: Metal buckles, rivets, etc., require separate nickel release testing.
4. Report Validity: REACH test reports are generally valid for 1-2 years (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
5. Supply Chain Requirements: It is recommended to require raw material suppliers to provide REACH compliance certificates.
