Textile REACH Testing Project

Textiles are products made by processing and weaving textile fibers. They are divided into two categories: woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. China is one of the first countries in the world to produce textiles. Textiles and garments exported to the EU must pass REACH certification. What are the textile REACH testing items?

What is REACH certification

REACH is the abbreviation of the EU regulations "Registration concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals" (REGULATION concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), a chemical established by the European Union and implemented on June 1, 2007 Regulatory system. This is a regulatory proposal concerning the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. The regulations are designed to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and improve the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, and develop innovative capabilities for non-toxic and harmless compounds to prevent market fragmentation , Increase transparency in the use of chemicals, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue sustainable social development.

Textile REACH test items

If your products are exported to EU and other countries, you must pay attention to the safety and environmental protection of materials. EU countries' REACH testing stipulates the requirements. If you export to EU countries, applying for REACH testing will make your products very competitive. So what are the items tested by REAHC?

At present, SVHC, a substance of high concern in the REACH testing regulations, has been announced one after another. On June 16, 2020, the EU REACH Regulation SVHC list increased to 209 items. In the future, there will be 209 REACH certification and 209 textile REACH testing.

The main content of REACH is to require certification that textiles and clothing do not contain chemical substances harmful to the human body. Therefore, all textiles and garments produced in the EU or imported into the EU market must pass the registration, inspection and approval of the content of harmful chemical substances. Once the content exceeds the prescribed content, they cannot be sold on the EU market.
