Guidelines for Handling the EU REACH Appendix 17 Certification Report for Luggage Hangers
1、 Introduction to REACH Appendix 17
REACH Appendix 17 is a list of restricted substances in the EU Chemical Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction Regulations, which lists specific chemical substances prohibited or restricted from use in consumer goods sold in the EU market. As a daily consumer product, luggage tags must comply with the relevant requirements of Appendix 17.
2、 The basic process of handling certification
1. Pre preparation stage
Confirm the material composition of the luggage tag (plastic, metal, leather, fabric, etc.)
Provide product technical parameters and material list (BOM)
Clearly define the target market and sales area
2. Application and Sample Submission
Choose a third-party testing institution with CNAS/CMA qualifications
Fill out the testing application form and submit product samples
Provide material composition declaration and supply chain information
3. Laboratory testing
Screening for harmful substances in various components of luggage tags
Common testing items: heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.), phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), azo dyes, etc
The testing cycle is usually 5-7 working days
4. Report preparation and review
Draft testing report issued by the laboratory
Verify data accuracy
Issuing the formal REACH Appendix 17 Compliance Report
3、 Common testing items for luggage tags
|Material category | Restriction requirements | Applicable materials
|Lead/cadmium/mercury/hexavalent chromium | Total amount or migration limit of heavy metals | Metal accessories, coatings
|Phthalates | Some plasticizers prohibited | PVC/plastic components
|Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) | Limits for certain high carcinogens | Rubber and plastics
|Azo dyes | Prohibited from cracking to produce prohibited aromatic amines | Textiles and leather
|Formaldehyde | Specific Application Limits | Coating Materials
4、 Materials required for certification processing
1. Product samples (2-3 pieces)
2. Material Composition List/Bill of Materials (BOM)
3. Product label and packaging information
4. Supply Chain Statement (if any)
5. Enterprise Business License (Applicant)
5、 Key precautions
Select Institution
Be sure to choose a testing laboratory with EU recognized qualifications, such as Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083, or a laboratory with CNAS/CMA qualifications in China.
material overlay
Luggage tags may contain multiple materials, each of which needs to be tested separately to ensure full coverage.
Report validity period
The REACH report itself has no fixed validity period, but it needs to be retested when the material supplier changes or the production process is adjusted.
Continuous compliance
Suggest establishing a supply chain management system to ensure the continuous compliance of each batch of materials.
6、 Certification cycle and cost reference
|Project | Reference Scope
|Test cycle | 5-7 working days
|Basic cost | 1000-3000 yuan (depending on the quantity of materials)
|Complete Report | 1-3 Business Days Urgent Optional
If you need to further understand the testing plan for specific materials or recommend testing institutions, you can provide more detailed product information and I can further analyze it for you.
