Interpreting the EU REACH Chemical Test Report for Artificial Leather Cleaners
I. Why do artificial leather cleaners require REACH testing?
As chemical mixtures (typically containing surfactants, solvents, thickeners, fragrances, etc.), artificial leather cleaners fall under the jurisdiction of the REACH regulation. Before being exported to the EU market, they must undergo chemical testing by a qualified third-party laboratory (such as Dezeway Testing, CNAS registration number: L8083) and obtain a test report that complies with REACH requirements. II. Core Content of the Report
A complete REACH chemical testing report typically includes the following elements:
| Item | Content Description
| Basic Information | Applicant/Manufacturer Information, Product Name, Model, Ingredient List
| Testing Basis | REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, SVHC Candidate List, Restricted List (Annex XVII)
| Test Items | SVHC Screening, Quantitative Analysis of Specific Substances
| Result Judgment | Whether the concentration of each substance meets the limit requirements
| Conclusion | Overall evaluation of product compliance
III. Chemical Substances of High Concern
1. SVHC Screening: As of the latest list, it includes 253 substances. Key concerns include:
Phytates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP, etc., plasticizer residues)
Heavy Metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, etc.)
Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-Releasing Substances
Flame Retardants (TCEP, TCPP, etc.)
Surfactant Degradation Products (APEOs)
2. REACH Restriction List (Annex XVII): Includes limits for certain solvents, colorants, and organotin compounds.
3. Regarding cleaning agent characteristics: Special attention is paid to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and allergenic fragrance ingredients (such as the 26 allergens mentioned in the EU Cosmetics Regulation).
IV. Testing Methods and Limit Standards
Testing Methods: GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry), HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), etc.
Limit Standards: SVHC content must be less than 0.1% (w/w) to claim compliance; some restricted substances have stricter limits.
V. Compliance Recommendations
1. Ingredient Disclosure: Obtain complete MSDS/SDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) from suppliers, clearly specifying the CAS number and concentration of each ingredient.
2. Supply Chain Audit: Ensure raw material suppliers have completed REACH pre-registration or registration.
3. Pre-screening: Provide the ingredient list to the laboratory for pre-assessment before sample submission to improve testing efficiency.
4. Continuous Updates: The SVHC list is updated twice a year (usually in January and July); keep track of the latest version.
5. Labeling Compliance: Classify, label, and package products according to CLP regulations ((EC) No 1272/2008).
