EU REACH SVHC testing refers to the testing of substances of very high concern according to the EU REACH regulations (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals). SVHCs may have serious impacts on human health and the environment, so they need to be strictly controlled.
The following detailed procedures and requirements need to be followed when applying for EU REACH SVHC testing of bamboo shelves:
1. Determine needs and select laboratories
- Determine needs: Confirm whether bamboo shelves are governed by REACH regulations and clarify the type of test report required.
- Select a laboratory: Select a laboratory that meets REACH requirements and ensure that the laboratory has ISO17025 qualifications.
2. Prepare samples and submit application
- Prepare samples: Prepare sufficient and representative samples of bamboo racks according to laboratory requirements.
- Submit application: Submit a testing application to the laboratory and attach samples. At the same time, product name, model, manufacturer information and other content are provided.
3. Conduct testing and generate reports
- Testing: The laboratory tests the material composition and content of the bamboo shelf samples, especially whether they contain substances of very high concern (SVHC).
- Generate report: Based on the test results, the laboratory generates a REACH test report, which will explain whether the product meets the SVHC requirements in the REACH regulations.
4. Review, approval and use reports
- Audit and approval: The test report needs to be audited to ensure that it meets REACH requirements.
- Usage report: After passing the audit, the test report can be used as proof of compliance with REACH regulations.
5. Notification and registration
- Notification: If the test results show that the bamboo shelf contains SVHC substances and its concentration exceeds 0.1%, it needs to be notified to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
- Registration: If the annual production or import volume of bamboo shelves exceeds 1 ton, REACH registration is also required.
6. Ongoing Compliance
- Continuous compliance: Ensure that bamboo shelves continue to comply with the requirements of REACH regulations during production and import. If the product changes, SVHC testing and notification need to be carried out again.
Things to note
- Document preparation: When submitting an application, you need to fill in the experiment order form to ensure that the information is accurate. Select the report format (Chinese or English) and indicate the contact information of the reporting unit in the remarks column.
- Service requirements: Choose normal working cycle (5-7 working days) or expedited service as needed.
- Payment method: Arrange payment before the report is issued and fax a copy of the payment voucher to the laboratory for reconciliation.
Through the above steps, bamboo shelf manufacturers can ensure that their products comply with the SVHC requirements of the EU REACH regulations, thus ensuring the legality and safety of the products in the EU market.
