Watches need to be tested for California Proposition 65. Watch products need to pay attention to many aspects, including supply chain analysis, implementation and certification of compliance assurance processes, chemical testing and analysis, etc. The following are specific testing steps and precautions:
1. Supply chain analysis and data collection: Evaluate the chemicals that may be contained in watch products and their components and whether they are chemicals listed under California Proposition 65.
2. Chemical testing and analysis: Chemical testing that watch products may require includes, but is not limited to, total lead, total cadmium, phthalates, formaldehyde content, and flame retardant content. These tests are usually only performed on accessible parts.
3. Risk assessment: Assess the exposure risk of chemical substances in watch products, provide compliance strategies, and determine whether warning labels need to be added to the product.
4. Compliance Guarantee: Ensure that the product meets all requirements of California Proposition 65 and obtains "Safe Use Determinations" when necessary.
5. Testing process: Select a qualified third-party laboratory for testing and send product samples to the laboratory. After the test is completed, the results will be used to determine whether the product meets the requirements of California 65 regulations and apply for certification accordingly.
6. Warning labels: If a chemical listed in California Proposition 65 is present in a product and exceeds the specified safe harbor level, a corresponding warning label must be affixed to the product.
7. Regulatory Compliance: Understand and comply with the latest requirements of California’s Proposition 65, including the latest regulations on warning labels, which took effect on August 30, 2018.
8. Professional services: You can seek help from professional service organizations such as DeZeWei, which provide comprehensive California Proposition 65 services, including testing, assessment, compliance consulting, etc.
Please note that even if a product meets the requirements of other regulations such as CPSIA or REACH, it does not necessarily meet the requirements of California Proposition 65 and therefore will need to be tested and evaluated individually.
