What are the testing items for REACH in the EU? There are a total of 235 REACH testing projects in the EU, including SVHC (Substances of High Concern) and other substance testing.
The main content of REACH is to prove that daily products do not contain harmful chemicals to the human body. The REACH report is a report prepared after a product has passed the REACH test, which includes the percentage content of various chemical substances in the product, whether it meets REACH standards, and whether it is harmful to the human body.
To achieve this goal, various types of testing are required to determine the composition, properties, hazards, and other information of chemicals, and to evaluate their impact on human health and the environment. REACH testing usually includes physical and chemical testing, toxicological testing, ecotoxicological testing, and other aspects.
