The items in the California 65 inspection of glass mainly focus on the harmful substances it may contain, which have potential risks to human health. California 65 testing items usually include but are not limited to the following aspects:
1. Heavy metal detection
Lead (Pb): Lead is a common toxic heavy metal that has serious effects on human health. During the glass production process, lead may be contained due to added pigments, additives, etc. California 65 testing will strictly control the lead content in glass.
Cadmium (Cd): Cadmium is also a heavy metal that is harmful to humans and may be introduced through certain ingredients in the glass or the production process. California 65 testing also looks at the cadmium content in glass.
2. Chemical substance detection
In addition to heavy metals, California 65 testing may also involve the detection of other harmful chemicals. Although these substances are relatively rare in glass, they still require attention:
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, and xylene: These substances may be used as solvents or additives during glass production or processing, so their content needs to be detected.
Flame retardants, plasticizers, etc.: Although these substances are mainly used in plastic products, they may also be used in some special glass products (such as fire-resistant glass), and therefore may also become targets of detection.
3. Testing of specific substances
According to the latest requirements and concerns of California Proposition 65, other specific substances in glass may also need to be tested, such as:
Bisphenol A (BPA): Although bisphenol A is mainly used in the production of plastic products, it may also be associated with glass products in some cases (such as as a coating or additive), and therefore may also be the subject of testing.
Other substances on the California Proposition 65 list: California Proposition 65 will continue to update its list of chemical substances of concern, so glass manufacturers need to pay close attention to these updates and conduct corresponding testing as needed.
