Guide to Obtaining EU REACH Compliance Reports for PU Leather Luggage Tags
PU leather luggage tags are classified as "articles" (consumer goods); entering the EU market requires particular attention to REACH regulations and the control of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). The following outlines the processing procedure and key points:
I. Core Applicable Regulations and Requirements
Regulatory Basis: EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
Core Requirements:
If the content of any SVHC substance in the product exceeds 0.1% (w/w) and the total annual quantity exceeds 1 tonne:
Notification to ECHA is required, and relevant information must be provided to consumers.
The product must pass SVHC screening tests to ensure compliance.
II. SVHC Testing Items (Key Focus Areas)
Testing for PU leather luggage tags typically involves the following high-risk substances:
| Substance Category | Test Items | Common Sources |
| Heavy Metals | Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel, Mercury, etc. | Dyes, pigments, metal fittings |
| Phthalates | 6 items including DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP, etc. | PU coatings, plastic fittings |
| Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) | 16 PAHs | PU synthesis, rubber fittings |
| Organotin Compounds | TBT, TPhT, etc. | PU coatings, leather treatment |
| Formaldehyde | Formaldehyde release | Adhesives, leather processing |
| Other SVHCs | Full screening of 253+ items | Various raw materials |
III. Compliance Reporting Process
Step 1: Product Information Preparation
Raw material list (PU leather, metal buckles, webbing, stitching, etc.)
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) provided by suppliers
Product BOM (Bill of Materials)
Step 2: Sample Submission and Testing
Sample quantity: Depends on test items (recommend 2–3 finished products)
Testing turnaround: Approx. 5–7 working days for basic SVHC testing
Testing agency: Select an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory (e.g., Dezewei Testing, CNAS Reg. No.: L8083)
Step 3: Report Review and Issuance
Laboratory issues an English test report (CMA/CNAS accredited)
Report must specify the exact content of each SVHC
Step 4: Compliance Determination
All SVHC test values ≤ 0.1% → Compliant
Any single item > 0.1% → Notification and labeling requirements apply
IV. List of Required Documentation
1. Product manual / Specification sheet
2. Raw material composition list (must specify exact chemical names)
3. Supplier SDS report
4. Physical product sample
5. Testing service agreement / Application form
V. Estimated Costs and Turnaround Time
| Item | Cost Range (RMB) | Turnaround Time
| SVHC Basic Screening | 1,000 – 3,000 Yuan | 5–7 working days
Actual costs depend on the laboratory, the number of test items, and any requirements for expedited service.
