Phthalates Content Testing According to REACH Annex XVII: A Comprehensive Guide

Phthalates Content Testing According to REACH Annex XVII is a laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab, which adheres to the strict guidelines set forth in the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. This article will delve into the relevant standards, regulatory framework, and international requirements governing this specific test.

Regulatory Framework

The REACH regulation is a cornerstone of European Unions chemical policy, aiming to protect human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. Annex XVII lists restricted substances, including phthalates, which are subject to specific limits or conditions for use in various products.

International and National Standards

Several international standards govern Phthalates Content Testing According to REACH Annex XVII:

  • ISO 13130:2017: Determination of total content of phthalates (expressed as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, DEHP)

  • EN 14362-1:2006: Evaluation of the release of certain substances from construction products when they are exposed to artificial weathering and/or other environmental influences

  • TSE 1154: Determination of total content of phthalates (expressed as DEHP) in plastics

    • These standards ensure that testing is conducted accurately, reliably, and consistently across different laboratories.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Several organizations contribute to the development and maintenance of these standards:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to create harmonized standards that facilitate international trade and ensure product safety.

    Why These Standards Are Needed

    Phthalates are widely used in various applications, including plastics, textiles, and personal care products. However, their presence can pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women. Regular testing according to REACH Annex XVII ensures that products containing phthalates comply with regulatory limits.
