REACH Certification Testing for Electrical Appliances

Update time : 2025-01-06

Service Background

The EU REACH Regulation, fully titled the "Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals," was officially implemented in the EU on June 1, 2007. It covers almost all products entering the EU market. According to Article 67(1) of the REACH Regulation: “Substances, mixtures, or articles containing restricted substances listed in Annex XVII must not be placed on the market if they do not meet the restriction requirements.” Therefore, companies need to focus not only on the content of SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) in their products but also ensure compliance with the control requirements listed in Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation based on the intended use of the product.

If a company has not yet determined its product's compliance with the REACH Regulation Annex XVII, China JJR LAB can provide REACH Annex XVII testing services for products and raw materials, helping you navigate REACH-related requirements confidently!

REACH Restricted Substance Testing for Electronics and Electrical Appliances

Applicable Product Scope

Electronics and electrical appliances and their raw materials.

 

Examples of High-Risk Items in Electronics and Electrical Products

- Asbestos Fibers: Prohibition of intentional addition to mixtures or articles. Commonly used in insulation and heat-resistant materials.

- Organotin Compounds:

- Tri-substituted organotin compounds: After July 1, 2010, they must not be used in any articles or parts of articles exceeding 0.1% by weight of tin.

- Dibutyltin compounds (DBT): After January 1, 2012, they must not exceed 0.1% by weight of tin in mixtures and articles (or their parts).

- Dioctyltin compounds (DOT): After January 1, 2012, they must not exceed 0.1% by weight of tin in articles (or their parts).

These are commonly used as heat stabilizers, catalysts, and pesticides in textiles, wood, leather, coatings, etc.

- Nickel and Its Compounds: For items used on body-piercing parts, the release rate of nickel should be less than 0.2 μg/cm²/week. For products in direct and prolonged skin contact, nickel release rate must not exceed 0.5 μg/cm²/week. Commonly found in coatings and alloys.

- Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH):

- In products where plastic or rubber parts may come into repeated, long-term or short-term contact with human skin or the mouth, none of the 8 PAHs may exceed 1 mg/kg.

- In toys, including children’s sporting goods and childcare products, this limit is reduced to 0.5 mg/kg. PAHs are commonly found in plastics and rubber.

- Phthalates: Starting July 7, 2020, the sum of DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP in plasticized materials must be less than 0.1%. For toys and childcare products that may be placed in the mouth, the sum of DINP + DIDP + DNOP must be ≤ 0.1%. Phthalates are commonly used as plasticizers in plastics.

- Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF): The content of DMF in items and their parts must not exceed 0.1 mg/kg. DMF is commonly used as an antifungal agent.
