Sports shoes need to undergo EU REACH testing. REACH is the EU's preventive management of chemicals entering the market. It covers all chemical substances produced, imported, used and sold in the EU market, including sports shoes. The EU REACH testing project for sports shoes mainly includes testing for harmful substances that may be present in footwear products. These harmful substances include but are not limited to heavy metals, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.



EU REACH testing guide for sports shoes:

1. Understand the requirements of REACH regulations

Before conducting EU REACH testing of sports shoes, you first need to have an in-depth understanding of the relevant requirements of the REACH regulations. This includes understanding the scope of application of REACH regulations, restricted substance lists, registration and declaration processes, etc. Ensure you have a clear understanding of regulatory requirements so you can prepare for testing accordingly.

2. Choose a professional testing agency

Choosing a testing agency with professional qualifications and rich experience is the key to conducting EU REACH testing of sports shoes. Ensure that the testing agency has relevant certifications and qualifications and can provide accurate and reliable testing results.

3. Prepare test samples

In accordance with the requirements of the testing agency, prepare a sufficient number of sports shoe samples for testing. Samples should be representative and truly reflect the actual situation of the product. At the same time, ensure that samples remain intact during transportation and storage.

4. Submit testing application

Submit a testing application to the testing agency and provide relevant product information, technical specifications, testing requirements, etc. The testing agency will develop a detailed testing plan based on the application information.

5. Conduct testing

The testing agency will conduct physical and chemical tests on sports shoe samples, including material composition analysis, hazardous substance detection, etc. The testing process will be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the EU REACH regulations to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the testing results.

6. Obtain the test report

After the testing agency completes the testing, it will issue a detailed testing report. The report will list the actual results of each testing project, including whether it meets the requirements of the EU REACH regulations. Applicants can improve or adjust the product based on the report results.

7. Respond to non-compliance situations

If the test results show that the sports shoes do not meet the requirements of the EU REACH regulations, the applicant needs to actively respond, find out the reasons and take corresponding measures to improve. This may involve replacing raw materials, improving production processes, etc.

8. Updates and Compliance

Since the EU REACH regulations may be constantly updated, applicants need to pay attention to regulatory changes regularly and conduct product updates and compliance work in a timely manner. Ensure that products always comply with the latest EU REACH regulatory requirements.
