According to California Proposition 65, eyeglass frames need to undergo California 65 testing. California Proposition 65 requires products sold in California to provide clear and reasonable warnings if they contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The process of California 65 testing for eyeglass frames mainly includes the following steps:
1. Understand regulatory requirements
First of all, companies need to understand the specific requirements of California Proposition 65 in detail, including restricted chemical substances, the format and content of warning information, etc.
2. Product testing
Businesses should test eyeglass frames to determine if they contain restricted chemicals. This typically involves the detection of substances such as heavy metals (e.g. lead, cadmium), phthalates (e.g. DEHP, BBP, DBP), formaldehyde, flame retardants and bisphenol A (BPA).
3. Prepare application documents
Based on the test results, companies need to prepare detailed application documents, including product description, test results, warning information, etc.
4. Submit application
Submit the prepared application documents to the California Environmental Protection Agency or its designated certification agency for review.
5. Review and Certification
The certification body reviews the application documents to verify the accuracy of product ingredients, test results and warning information. After passing the review, the company will obtain California 65 certification and can label the corresponding warning information on its products.
6. Subsequent maintenance and updates
Enterprises need to update product certifications on time and as required to ensure continued product compliance.
Things to note
- Warning labels: If eyeglass frames contain restricted chemicals that pose a risk of exposure to consumers, companies are required to post warning labels on the products.
- Legal liability: Companies that fail to comply with California’s Proposition 65 may face legal risks such as lawsuits and high compensation.
