Date: Dec 06 2024 From: Star Color
The sustainability and safety of industrial products have become focal points in regulatory frameworks worldwide. This report analyzes the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) testing results for a sample of water-based printing inks manufactured by HUIZHOUSHI ZHONGZHIXING COLOR TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., as evaluated by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd.
Test Details
Sample Description: Water-based inks, including a range of series such as SC1000 to SC8000, were analyzed.
Testing Period: March 8–14, 2023
Testing Standard: Screening was based on the European Union's Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), covering 233 substances from the ECHA Candidate List (up to January 17, 2023) and other related updates.
Key Findings
Overall Compliance:The inks tested were confirmed to contain SVHC substances at concentrations below 0.1% (w/w), meeting compliance standards. This means the product adheres to REACH regulations concerning the safe use of chemicals in articles and mixtures.
Analytical Methodology:Advanced techniques such as ICP-OES, UV-VIS, GC-MS, and HPLC-DAD/MS were employed for precise detection, ensuring thoroughness and accuracy.
Regulatory Context:For Articles: Suppliers are required to communicate information about any SVHC concentration exceeding 0.1% w/w under Article 33 of REACH.
For Mixtures: Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are mandatory if hazardous substances exceed thresholds defined in CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Significance for the Industry
This compliance report underscores the commitment of manufacturers to aligning with stringent European standards. The absence of SVHC above reporting limits assures users of the inks' safety and environmental compatibility, fostering confidence among downstream users and importers in the EU.
Opportunities for Communication
Given the favorable results, the company could leverage this compliance as a marketing advantage, emphasizing their commitment to regulatory excellence and eco-friendly practices. Incorporating compliance logos or statements in product labeling and promotional materials will strengthen their brand image in global markets.
