1. Overview of Hazardous Substances Testing
Hazardous Substances Testing is an independent and mandatory testing process, which focuses on detecting and quantifying the content of prohibited or restricted hazardous substances in the tested object (including its materials, coatings, adhesives and accessories). It aims to ensure that the tested object complies with international and domestic environmental protection and safety standards, avoid environmental pollution and potential harm to human health during production, use and disposal, and meet the requirements of market access, export compliance and green production.
Testing Scope:Applicable to all types of products, components, materials and accessories, including but not limited to electronic components, mechanical parts, electrical products, household appliances, industrial equipment, automotive components, etc. It focuses on hazardous substances such as heavy metals, organic pollutants and toxic chemicals that may be contained in the tested objects.

Testing Method |
Core Purpose |
|
Heavy Metals Testing |
Use ICP-MS, ICP-OES, AAS, XRF to detect content of Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), As, Cu, Ni, Zn, etc. |
Ensure heavy metal content meets standard limits. |
|
Organic Hazardous Substances Testing |
Use GC-MS, HPLC to detect PBB, PBDE, Phthalates, PAHs, formaldehyde, VOCs, etc. |
Control content of toxic organic pollutants. |
|
Toxic Chemicals Testing |
Adopt corresponding standard methods to detect cyanide, fluoride, toxic solvents, etc., according to the type of tested object and its materials. |
Avoid toxic substances exceeding the limit. |
|
Restricted Substances Screening (SVHC) |
Use professional equipment and methods to screen SVHC substances specified in REACH and other standards. |
Meet export compliance and green product requirements. |
3. Core Evaluation Indicators
The evaluation of hazardous substances testing is based on the following indicators, and the specific limit values shall comply with relevant international and domestic environmental protection standards and product compliance requirements:
Heavy Metal Content: For example, Cd ≤ 0.01%, Pb ≤ 0.1% (specific limits shall comply with RoHS, REACH and other standards), and Cr(VI) content shall meet the specified requirements.
Organic Hazardous Substances Content: PBB, PBDE ≤ 0.1%, phthalates ≤ 0.1% (adjust according to specific substance and standard), and formaldehyde emission meets the limit.
SVHC Compliance: The content of each SVHC substance shall not exceed 0.1% (if it exceeds, it shall be reported in accordance with REACH regulations).
Toxic Chemicals Limit: The content of cyanide, fluoride and other toxic chemicals shall not exceed the limit specified in the corresponding standard, and there shall be no prohibited toxic substances.
4. Core Standards & Compliance Basis
4.1 International Standards
- EU RoHS: Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
- EU REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (SVHC screening)
- California Proposition 65 (USA): List of Chemicals Known to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity
- ISO 14001: Environmental Management System Requirements (for testing process control)
4.2 Domestic Standards (China)
- GB/T 26572: Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (China RoHS)
- GB/T 30957: Determination of Heavy Metals in Electronic and Electrical Products
- GB/T 29786: Determination of Phthalates in Electronic and Electrical Products
- GB/T 27630: Limits of Hazardous Substances in Automobile Components and Materials (for automotive components)
5. Testing Notes
The testing of hazardous substances shall be carried out in accordance with the latest version of relevant standards, and the testing methods shall be consistent with the standard requirements to ensure the accuracy of test results.
The sample shall be fully crushed and mixed during pretreatment to ensure that the hazardous substances in the tested object are fully released and the test data is representative.
The testing equipment shall be calibrated regularly, and the standard reference materials shall be used for quality control during testing to avoid test errors.
Test data shall be recorded truthfully and completely, and the test report shall clearly indicate the type, content and standard limit of hazardous substances, which shall be traceable.
If the hazardous substance content exceeds the limit, the tested object shall be judged as unqualified, and the manufacturer shall be informed to carry out material improvement and retest.
