Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII): A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII) is a laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab, which adheres to the relevant international and national standards. The European Unions Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation (EC 1907/2006) mandates the testing of phthalates in PVC toys to ensure their safety for human health and the environment.

The REACH Annex XVII sets out the specific restrictions on the use of certain substances, including phthalates, in articles such as PVC toys. The EU Commission has established a list of restricted substances, which includes phthalates (EC 1907/2006). These regulations apply to all manufacturers and importers of PVC toys sold in the European Union.

Eurolabs Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII) service is based on the following international standards:

  • ISO 13132:2015, Plastics - Determination of phthalates in plastic materials
  • ASTM D5138-10, Standard Test Method for Determination of Phthalate Esters in Plastic Materials by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry
  • EN 14362-1:2004, Toys. Safety. Part 1: Requirements for toys other than pointed toys and toys with small parts
  • Eurolabs testing service also complies with national standards such as:

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) 14255:2016, Plastics - Determination of phthalates in plastic materials
  • GB/T 23441-2009, Plastics - Determination of phthalates in plastic materials
  • The development and revision of these standards are overseen by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII) is required to ensure compliance with the REACH regulation. The testing service is necessary for several reasons:

    1. Compliance: Manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with the REACH regulations, which includes testing for phthalates.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    Eurolabs Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII) service involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: A representative sample of the PVC toy is prepared for testing.

    2. Extraction: The phthalates are extracted from the sample using a suitable solvent.

    3. Analysis: The extract is analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

    4. Measurement: The concentrations of phthalates are measured in accordance with the relevant standards.

    Eurolabs testing equipment includes:

    1. Gas chromatograph

    2. Mass spectrometer

    The testing environment requires:

    1. Temperature control: The laboratory is equipped with temperature-controlled chambers to ensure accurate results.

    2. Detailed results: A detailed table or chart showing the concentrations of each phthalate detected.

    3. Compliance statement: A statement indicating whether the product complies with the REACH regulations.

    Eurolabs reporting standards include:

    1. ISO/IEC 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    2. EN ISO 10012:2003: Measurement management systems - Requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment

    Why This Test Should Be Performed

    Phthalates Testing in PVC Toys (REACH Annex XVII) is essential for several reasons:

    1. Compliance with regulations: Manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with the REACH regulation to avoid fines, product recalls, and damage to reputation.
