Guide to Obtaining a REACH Testing Report for Silicone Mats in the EU
Silicone mats exported to the EU typically require REACH-related chemical testing, primarily focusing on phthalates, heavy metals, and certain aromatic amines (SVHCs).
I. Core Testing Items
For silicone materials, key testing items include:
| Test Category | Specific Substance
| Phthalate | DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP, etc.
| Heavy Metals | Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, etc.
| Specific Aromatic Amines | Azo Dye Decomposition Products
| Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) | 18 PAH Substances
| SVHC Screening | Assessed according to the latest list (253+ items)
Food contact grade silicone mats (such as baking mats and placemats) must also comply with EU food contact regulations.
II. Application Process
1. Submit Application – Provide product information, material specifications, and intended use.
2. Send Sample – Generally, 20-50 grams of silicone sample or finished product is required.
3. Laboratory Testing – Chemical analysis according to REACH standards.
4. Report Issuance – An English version of the test report will be issued upon successful testing.
III. Required Documents
Product Instructions (English)
Material Composition Description (Whether it contains additives, colorants, etc.)
Color and Surface Treatment Process
Product Intended Use (Food Contact/General Use)
IV. Precautions
Choose a Qualified Laboratory: Must have CNAS or A2LA accreditation (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L80830)
Report Validity: It is recommended to retest every 1-2 years depending on the product formulation stability.
Substances of Very High Concern Notification: SVHC content exceeding 0.1% requires compliance with EU notification obligations.
V. Processing Time and Cost
Processing Time: Typically 5-7 working days.
Cost: Generally between 800-2000 RMB, depending on the number of tests. Unequal
