The California 65 test for gap glue mainly focuses on the provisions of California Proposition 65, which aims to protect consumers from potentially harmful substances. Testing is particularly important for interstitial glue, especially if it is used on items that may be touched by children, such as toys, furniture, etc., or items that may be used for food contact or skin contact.
1. Heavy metal detection
1. Lead test:
California Proposition 65 stipulates that lead content in certain products shall not exceed a limit of 0.02% (200ppm).
For interstitial glues, lead testing is required if their use is likely to expose consumers to lead, particularly when the glue is used on items that may be touched by children.
2. Cadmium test:
California Proposition 65 also sets limits for cadmium, with the general requirement being less than 800 ppm.
Cadmium testing is also important if interstitial glue may be used in food contact or items that may be touched by children.
2. Detection of organic compounds
Phthalate testing: California Proposition 65 requires phthalates such as DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIDP and DnHP to be contained in certain products at no more than 0.1% (1,000ppm).
Phthalate testing is necessary if interstitial glue may be used on plastics or items that may come into contact with skin.
3. Detection of other potentially harmful substances
Testing for other listed hazardous chemicals may also be required under California Proposition 65 requirements, depending on the nature and use of the product.
4. Testing process
1. Application and submission: The enterprise submits an application to the certification agency and provides product information and testing requirements.
2. Sample testing: The certification agency sends the samples to the designated laboratory for testing, including chemical composition analysis, content testing, etc.
3. Report and certification: After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a test report to confirm whether the product meets the requirements of California Proposition 65. Certification results are valid for a limited period, and companies need to regularly renew certification to ensure that products continue to meet standards.
