Steps for Obtaining a California Proposition 65 Report for Fitness Trackers
I. Identifying Applicable Substances
Common carcinogenic/reproductive toxic substances in fitness trackers include: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), phthalates (DEHP/BBP/DBP/DIBP), bisphenol A (BPA), and brominated flame retardants. Silicone and TPU straps require particular attention regarding phthalate and lead migration.
II. Selecting a Testing Institution
A laboratory with CPSC, CMA, CNAS, and A2LA accreditations (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
For cross-border e-commerce, choose a laboratory that can interface with Amazon's backend.
The laboratory should be familiar with the OEHHA 2024 warning label regulations.
III. Preparing Samples and Documents
Provide a complete fitness tracker + detachable strap, wristband, and charging cable.
Prepare at least 2-3 independent samples for parallel testing.
Include the product manual, raw material list, and battery type.
IV. Sample Testing
| Test Items | Test Methods
| Total Lead (Pb) | EPA 3050B / EPA 3052
| Cadmium (Cd) | EPA 3050B
| Phthalate | CPSC-CH-C1001-09.3
| Bisphenol A | HPLC
| Brominated Flame Retardant | GC-MS
Testing cycle approximately 5-7 business days, expedited service available
V. Signing the Compliance Guarantee
After the report is approved, the company signs the California Proposition 65 Self-Certification
Committing that the content of the target chemical in the product is below MADL (Maximum Allowable Dose Level) or NSRL (No Significant Risk Level)
Guaranteeing that all similar products exported to the United States are compliant
VI. Warning Label Selection
Content compliant → Exemption label or label only on packaging is optional
Content exceeding limits → OEHHA 2024 new warning label must be used:
⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including [chemical name], which is known to the State of California to cause [cancer/birth defects or other reproductive harm]. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
The label must be printed on the product itself + outer packaging + instruction manual.
VII. Uploading to Platforms and Archiving
Submit the test report + guarantee to Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Temu.
Documents must be retained for at least 5 years for OEHHA. Random Inspection
Resubmission for testing is required when the formula or raw materials change.
Important Notes
Without a "California 65 Certificate": The core of compliance is test reports + warning labels.
Various watch strap materials exist (silicone/leather/metal/nylon); it is recommended to test each material separately.
Selling food contact parts (such as those with desiccants) requires compliance with FDA 21 CFR.
For lithium batteries, UN 38.3 + UL 1642 or UL 2054 transportation and safety standards must be met.
