Rumor One: Metal/ceramic products are made of a single material and do not need to undergo REACH testing.
Truth: Metal alloys, surface electroplating layers, coatings, rust inhibitors, etc., may contain SVHCs (such as cobalt, lead, cadmium, etc.) or restricted substances controlled by REACH. The fact that a product is made of a single material does not mean it contains only one type of chemical substance.
Rumor Two: Passing RoHS testing means compliance with REACH regulations.
Truth: RoHS limits 10 harmful substances, while REACH covers 250 SVHCs and more than 70 restricted substances. The scope and focus of regulation between the two are completely different and should not be confused.
Rumor Three: All test reports from testing agencies are the same; just find the cheapest one.
Truth: The qualifications, equipment, and experience of testing agencies are crucial. Non-professional agencies may lead to incomplete test items, inaccurate data, and reports that are not recognized, ultimately causing losses to enterprises.
