Materials and restricted substances

REACH, RoHS & Chemical Testing in China

Chemical testing helps buyers investigate specific substance restrictions in materials, components and finished products. YiwuQC can coordinate a defined test request and sample transfer to a suitable independent laboratory in China.

Actual testing and original reports are provided by independent local laboratories, not YiwuQC. Appropriate accreditation, licensing or authorisation, test methods and availability are confirmed before each assignment.

Scope and methods

What can be tested?

REACH, RoHS, PFAS and buyer restricted-substance lists are not interchangeable. The test plan must identify a product, destination market, material, current substances and test methods before an independent laboratory can quote.

REACH SVHC screening

Screen identified materials for relevant substances of very high concern. Candidate List testing is not a universal certificate of compliance with all REACH obligations.

REACH restrictions

Choose methods for applicable substance restrictions such as certain phthalates or metals where the product, material and intended use make them relevant.

RoHS testing

Arrange material-based screening or laboratory confirmation for restricted substances in applicable electrical and electronic equipment; documentation duties are separate.

PFAS and RSL requirements

Define a suitable restricted-chemical panel for textiles, coatings, plastics or other components in line with market and buyer requirements.

Prepare your brief

What information should you send?

Share enough detail to select meaningful tests and representative samples.

  • Product description, intended use and country of sale
  • Material composition, coating and component breakdown
  • Applicable regulation or buyer's restricted-substance list
  • Existing supplier declarations, previous reports and intended samples
  • Required report language, decision date and receiving party

Documents and responsibility

What happens after testing?

The laboratory issues its own result; YiwuQC coordinates the requested process.

01

Confirmed laboratory scope, sample requirements and quotation before testing

02

Report issued in the independent laboratory's own name, identifying methods and tested specimens

03

YiwuQC coordination of sample identification, transfer and report questions

Important limitation

A passing report on selected materials or substances does not establish every product or supply-chain obligation. REACH and RoHS may also require documentation, declarations and regulatory decisions by the responsible manufacturer or importer.

Buyer questions

Common questions about this testing scope

Can I buy one REACH certificate for all requirements?

No. REACH contains different restrictions and obligations. A laboratory reports findings for defined tests and samples; a single generic certificate cannot demonstrate compliance with all of REACH.

Does RoHS testing automatically grant CE marking?

No. Where applicable, RoHS is one part of broader product conformity. The responsible manufacturer must identify all applicable EU requirements and complete the necessary assessment and documentation.

Can samples be taken during a product inspection?

A sample collection visit can be considered where goods are accessible and sample identity, sealing and transfer arrangements are agreed. The independent laboratory performs the actual testing.

Independent laboratory testing enquiry

Need a quote for this testing scope?

Send the product, destination market, requested standard, sample location and decision date. We can review whether a suitable independent laboratory with the required scope is available.
