As a toy, plush pendants need to undergo a series of safety tests when exported to the EU to ensure that they comply with EU safety standards. REACH testing is the European Union's preventive management of all chemicals entering its market. Its main purpose is to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and improve the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, and increase the transparency of chemical information.
For products such as plush pendants, REACH testing mainly focuses on whether the materials contain chemicals harmful to the human body, such as heavy metals, harmful dyes, phthalates (Phthalates), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), etc. If the content of these substances exceeds the limits stipulated in the REACH regulations, the product will not be sold on the EU market.
The REACH testing process usually includes the following steps:
1. Identify chemicals that may be present in the product.
2. Choose a qualified testing laboratory for testing.
3. Prepare test samples and submit to laboratory.
4. The laboratory conducts testing according to the requirements of REACH regulations.
5. After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a test report.
6. Based on the test report, the manufacturer may need to adjust the product design to ensure compliance with REACH regulations.
In addition, when plush toys are exported to the EU, in addition to REACH testing, they also need to be tested according to the EN71 toy safety standard. The EN71 standard is a series of European standards for the safety of children's toys, including physical and mechanical performance testing and flammability testing. , Migration detection of specific elements, etc.
Therefore, plush pendants do need to undergo REACH testing to ensure their safe entry into the EU market.
