Shower gel REACH testing and certification is an important step to ensure that shower gel products comply with the EU REACH regulations. REACH is the European Union's regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals, aiming to protect human health and environmental safety.
The following are the main contents and processes of REACH testing and certification for shower gel:
1. Testing and certification content
1. Physical and chemical property testing:
Determination of density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, vapor pressure and other properties to ensure that the physical and chemical properties of the product meet relevant standards.
2. Toxicity test:
Tests on acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, corrosivity, irritation, etc. to evaluate the potential harm of products to the human body.
3. Environmental behavior test:
Evaluate the durability, stability, biodegradability, etc. of the product in the environment to ensure that the product will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.
4. Component analysis:
Conduct detailed analysis and testing of each component of the shower gel, including heavy metal content, organic substance content, inorganic substance content, etc., to ensure that they comply with EU restrictions and standards.
5. SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) screening:
SVHC refers to those chemicals that have carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive toxicity, persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity properties. Shower gels need to be screened for SVHC to ensure that they do not contain SVHC or that the content of SVHC is below the prescribed limit.
6. Annex XVII restricted substance testing:
Annex XVII is part of the REACH regulation and lists chemical substances that are banned or restricted for use in the EU. Shower gel needs to be tested for Annex XVII restricted substances to ensure that it does not contain these restricted substances or that the content of restricted substances is below the prescribed limit.
2. Testing and certification process
1. Fill in the application form:
Submit an application form to the certification body, including product information and applicant information.
2. Provide product information:
Submit the product instructions, ingredient list, safety data sheet and other relevant information for the shower gel.
3. Send samples:
Send shower gel samples to the certification agency for testing.
4. Perform testing:
The certification agency conducts the above tests on shower gel samples in accordance with the requirements of REACH regulations.
5. Evaluation results:
Based on the test results, the certification body evaluates whether the shower gel meets the requirements of REACH regulations.
6. Issue certificate:
If the shower gel meets the requirements of the REACH regulations, the certification body will issue a REACH testing and certification certificate.
