With the frequent issuance of targeted global regulations in recent years, the focus on PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) control has reached new heights. However, today, Huabiao Testing shares insights on the testing items for PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in scooters and the process for obtaining PAHs certification.

Scooter PAHs Testing Items
PAHs testing for scooters primarily assesses whether materials in the scooter contain excessive levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Testing items include, but are not limited to, components such as plastic handles, plastic packaging boxes, and rubber grips that may contain PAHs. The testing scope varies based on requirements from the German GS certification and EU REACH Annex XVII. GS certification typically tests for 15 PAHs, while REACH Annex XVII tests for 8 PAHs. Therefore, it is essential to clarify the specific testing requirements before proceeding to ensure accurate results.
Scooter PAHs Testing Certification Process
Sample Preparation
Clients must provide samples for testing. Liquid samples should be no less than 20 milliliters, and solid samples should be no less than 50 grams. Additionally, clients must submit a Bill of Materials (BOM) or product images to confirm the materials used.
Quotation Confirmation
The testing agency will prepare a detailed quotation based on the provided information and testing requirements. Clients must review and confirm the quotation, affix their company seal, and make the required payment for testing fees.
Sample Testing
Upon receiving the samples, the testing agency will conduct rigorous testing in accordance with relevant standards. The standard testing cycle typically takes 5 to 7 working days. If clients require expedited services, additional fees may apply based on the specific circumstances.
Report Issuance
Upon completion of testing, the agency will provide a comprehensive test report. If the results are compliant, an electronic version of the report will be issued. If the results indicate non-compliance, the report will specify the items exceeding limits, and the client will be notified to make necessary rectifications. After rectification, clients may request a free retest. Upon passing the retest, the final report will be formally issued.

Translation Notes
Terminology Accuracy: Key terms like PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons), PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), GS certification, and REACH Annex XVII are retained as standard technical terms to maintain precision. The term “物料清单” is translated as “Bill of Materials (BOM),” aligning with industry-standard English.
Tone and Style: The translation adopts a formal, professional tone suitable for technical and regulatory documentation, ensuring clarity for English-speaking audiences.
Clarification of PFAS Mention: The original text references PFAS but focuses on PAHs testing. The translation retains the PFAS mention in the introduction for fidelity but emphasizes PAHs in the main content, as it aligns with the topic. Additionally, the final paragraph corrects the mention of “PFAs” in the original to “PAHs” to reflect the context accurately.
Structural Fidelity: The translation mirrors the original structure, including headings and numbered steps, to preserve content organization.
Cultural Adaptation: “Huabiao Testing” is transliterated as is, preserving the brand name, and promotional content is seamlessly integrated into the English text.
