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 shoes.
EU REACH testing items for shoes and boots:
1. Physical testing: This includes whole shoe testing, fabric testing, outsole testing and accessory testing, etc. to evaluate the physical performance and quality of shoes.
2. Chemical testing: This is the key part of REACH testing for shoes and boots, covering inorganic chemical testing and organic chemical testing. Inorganic chemical tests include pH value, extractable heavy metals, hexavalent chromium, inorganic formaldehyde, nickel release and other items. Organic chemistry tests include banned azo dyes, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins, alkylphenols and alkylphenol compounds, carcinogenic and allergenic disperse dyes, chlorinated phenols, hindered Fuel agents, organochlorine carriers, volatile organic compounds, etc.
EU REACH testing process for shoes and boots:
1. Consultation and application: First, consult with a professional REACH knowledge sharing organization or testing laboratory, provide relevant information about footwear products, and apply for REACH testing.
2. Fill in the application form and provide samples: According to the requirements of the testing agency, fill in the application form and provide samples of shoes and boots to be tested. These samples will be used for laboratory testing and evaluation.
3. Quotation and evaluation: The testing agency will evaluate the testing cost and time based on the samples and application information provided, and give a corresponding quotation.
4. Contract signing and payment: After confirming the quotation, sign a contract with the testing agency and pay the corresponding testing fees.
5. Sample testing: The testing agency will test the provided shoe samples, including physical performance testing and chemical testing. These tests will assess whether footwear meets the requirements of EU REACH regulations.
6. Issue a test report: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a detailed test report to explain the performance of the shoes in the REACH test and whether they comply with relevant regulatory requirements.
7. Audit and certification: If the shoes pass the REACH test and comply with the relevant EU regulations, the testing agency will issue the corresponding REACH certification certificate or report.
