Guidelines for Obtaining EU REACH Testing Reports for Adhesives
As chemical products, adhesives exported to the EU must comply with REACH regulations. The following is a detailed breakdown of the application process:
I. Application Process
1. Confirm Product Classification
Adhesives fall under the category of mixtures/chemicals and require REACH registration or compliance assessment.
2. Select a Testing Institution
Choose a third-party institution with CMA/CNAS accreditation and REACH testing capabilities (e.g., Dezeway Testing, CNAS registration number: L8083).
3. Consult for Quotation
Provide the product's SDS safety data sheet and ingredient information to obtain a testing plan and quotation.
4. Sample Submission for Testing
Sample Quantity: Typically 100-200g (depending on the testing items)
Testing Cycle: Usually 5-7 working days
5. Obtain the Report
A REACH compliance test report will be issued after the test is passed.
II. Core Testing Items
| Testing Category | Main Substances
| SVHC Substances of Very High Concern | 253 Screening Items (Continuously Updated)
| Heavy Metals | Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, etc.
| Plasticizers | Phthalate (DEHP, DBP, etc.)
| Organic Compounds | Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Azo Dyes, etc.
| Volatile Organic Compounds | Formaldehyde, Benzene Series (depending on the product)
III. Required Documents
Product Ingredient List
SDS Safety Data Sheet (Providing this may exempt you from some testing)
Business License
Product Instructions
Testing Application Form
IV. Precautions
Key Points:
If annual export volume is ≥1 ton/year, formal REACH registration is required (submit to ECHA).
If export volume is less than 1 ton/year, SVHC testing is sufficient as proof of conformity.
The SVHC list is updated twice a year; it is recommended to pay attention to the latest ECHA announcements.
The test report must demonstrate CNAS/CMA accreditation for customs clearance.
V. Cost Reference
The cost of a complete set of routine SVHC testing is approximately 800-3000 RMB, depending on the number of tests and sample complexity.
