What is US TSCA Testing?

TSCA testing, full name Toxic Substances Control Act testing, is a regulatory requirement implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It aims to ensure that products sold in the U.S. market do not contain chemical substances that pose unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. TSCA testing typically covers various hazardous substances, including but not limited to decabromodiphenyl ether, isopropylated triphenyl phosphate, hexachlorobutadiene, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol, and pentachlorothiophenol. The content of these substances in specific products is strictly restricted to ensure product safety.

How Much Sample is Required for TSCA Testing?

Generally, 0.5 to 1 gram of sample is needed for each test. However, considering the needs for retesting and sample 留样 (sample retention), the recommended quantity of submitted samples is usually 5 to 10 grams. This sample amount ensures the smooth progress of the testing process and avoids testing delays or failures due to insufficient samples.
