EU POPs (persistent organic pollutants) testing is to ensure that products do not contain harmful POPs substances, which have serious long-term effects on human health and the environment. For plastic products, the EU POPs testing process usually includes the following steps:
1. Application and preparation stage
- Fill out the application form: Applicants need to fill in a detailed application form and provide basic information about the product.
- Provide product information: including product design drawings, material composition lists, production process flow, etc.
- Send samples: Send samples of plastic products to be tested to the designated testing agency.
2. Testing phase
- Sample splitting: Split the product into different homogeneous materials based on its structure and materials. Materials such as metals, ceramics, and glass do not require testing. The main focus is on non-metallic materials such as plastics, rubber, sponges, textiles, and coatings.
- Sample pretreatment: Perform necessary pretreatment on the sample, such as crushing, dissolving, etc., to facilitate subsequent chemical analysis.
- Chemical analysis: using advanced instruments and technologies, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) ), etc., to conduct quantitative analysis of POPs substances in samples.
3. Results evaluation and reporting phase
- Result evaluation: According to the requirements of the EU POPs regulations, the test results are evaluated to determine whether the product meets the limit requirements stipulated in the regulations.
-Issue a report: If the product meets the requirements, the testing agency will issue a formal test report and certificate; if it does not meet the requirements, the testing agency will provide a detailed description of the non-conformities and suggest improvement measures.
