Backpack testing items under California’s Proposition 65 often include testing for harmful substances that are considered to pose risks to consumers’ health. Based on the search results, here are the California 65 tests that backpacks may need to undergo:
1. Total lead content: Test the lead content in the surface coating and base material of the backpack. Under California Proposition 65 requirements, lead content in accessible parts is generally limited to less than 100 mg/kg.
2. Phthalates: Detect the phthalates content in backpacks, including DEHP, BBP and DBP. These substances are usually used to make plastics softer. California Proposition 65 has strict limits on the content of these substances, usually requiring levels below 0.1% (1000 ppm).
3. Cadmium content: Although not all backpacks need to be tested for cadmium content, if required, the cadmium content also needs to be tested because it is potentially harmful to the environment and human health.
4. Other heavy metals: In addition to lead and cadmium, it may also be necessary to detect the content of other heavy metals, such as mercury, arsenic, etc.
5. Formaldehyde: While formaldehyde is not a substance under California Proposition 65, in some cases formaldehyde may be present in the textile or leather materials of a backpack and may require testing.
6. Flame retardants: If flame retardant materials are used in backpacks, the chemicals in those materials may also need to be tested.
7. PVC and other soft plastics, vinyl or synthetic leather: These materials may contain high concentrations of phthalates and will also need to be tested.
Please note that the list of restricted substances under California Proposition 65 is updated regularly, so manufacturers and importers need to continue to pay attention to the latest regulatory changes to ensure that their products comply with the latest requirements. In addition, if a product fails to meet the requirements of California Proposition 65, a warning label may be attached to the product, or the product may be reformulated to remove or reduce the content of harmful substances.
