The EU REACH testing process for metal jewelry is a systematic and detailed process designed to ensure that metal jewelry meets the EU's chemical safety requirements. Conduct an in-depth study of the REACH regulations and their appendices, especially the specific restrictions on metal jewelry, such as content limits for harmful substances such as cadmium, nickel, and lead.
1. Submit application and samples
1. Submit application:
Submit a REACH testing application to the testing agency and fill in a detailed application form, including product information, testing items, etc.
2. Provide samples:
According to the requirements of the testing agency, prepare metal jewelry samples that meet the testing standards and ensure that the samples are representative.
Submit the samples to the testing agency for subsequent testing and analysis.
2. Detection and analysis stage
1. Sample testing:
Hazardous substance detection: Detect whether there are banned or restricted substances in jewelry, such as lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, etc.
Cadmium release test: If the jewelry contains cadmium (such as electroplated jewelry), a cadmium release test needs to be performed.
Allergen substance detection: Detection of substances that may cause allergic reactions, such as nickel, aniline dyes, etc.
Material composition testing: Analyze the composition of various materials of jewelry to ensure product safety and compliance with environmental protection requirements.
Testing of substances of very high concern (SVHC): Test the concentration of SVHC in the product. If it exceeds 0.1% or the annual output exceeds 1 ton, it must be reported to the European Chemicals Agency.
The testing agency conducts detailed chemical analysis of metal jewelry samples, including but not limited to:
2. Risk assessment:
Based on the test results, a risk assessment is conducted on the metal jewelry to determine whether it contains chemicals harmful to human health or the environment.
