Towels, as daily necessities, do need to undergo California 65 testing. California Proposition 65 is a California regulation that requires businesses to provide consumers with warnings about possible exposure to chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. The proposal covers a variety of consumer products, including towels.
1. Product scope covered by California 65 testing
California 65 testing covers a wide range of products, including textiles such as towels.
As a textile that is in direct contact with the skin, towels’ materials and chemicals (such as dyes, auxiliaries, etc.) that may be used in the production process may be the focus of California’s Proposition 65.
2. Main chemical substances detected by California 65
Chemical substances of concern to California Proposition 65 include but are not limited to lead, phthalates, cadmium, formaldehyde, etc.
These substances may be used as dyes, auxiliaries, pigments, etc. in the textile production process, so towels may contain these substances.
3. California 65 testing requirements
For textiles such as towels, California 65 testing mainly focuses on the lead content and phthalate content in the products.
Limits on lead content generally require PVC parts to have a lead content of less than 0.02% (200ppm) and accessible non-PVC parts to have a lead content of less than 0.06% (600ppm).
Phthalate limits require that specific products contain no more than 0.1% (1,000 ppm) of each of the phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIDP and DnHP.
