The EU REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation is a widely applicable chemical management regulation that basically covers all chemical substances used in the EU market, including chemicals used in industrial production and daily life. . The following are product categories subject to REACH testing:
1. Chemicals and chemical substances: All chemical substances whose annual production or import volume reaches or exceeds 1 ton, whether as individual chemicals or components in mixtures.
2. Consumer products: including cleaning products, paints, clothing, furniture, electronic and electrical products, etc. Chemical substances that may be contained in these products need to comply with REACH regulations.
3. Industrial products: chemicals used in industrial production processes, such as plastics, solvents, metal treatment agents, etc.
4. Products related to the automotive industry: including automotive parts and liquids, such as engine oil, brake fluid, etc., the chemical substances they contain need to comply with REACH regulations.
5. Toys: Chemicals in children’s toys, especially those parts that children may put in their mouths.
6. Cosmetics: Chemicals in personal care and beauty products.
7. Textiles: dyes and finishes used in clothing and other textiles.
REACH regulations require companies to register, evaluate, authorize and restrict chemical substances in products to ensure that they do not cause adverse effects on human health and the environment. If a product contains more than 0.1% of substances of very high concern (SVHC) and the annual production or import volume exceeds 1 ton, the company needs to notify the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In addition, REACH also stipulates registration and recording requirements for certain specific chemical substances in products, especially those chemical substances that are intentionally released and those that may be released under normal conditions of use.
