I. Introduction to Certification

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) refer to a class of organic compounds with two or more benzene rings. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons containing more than two benzene rings in their molecules, including over 150 compounds such as naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene. The full name is also polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons. Among them, 15 belong to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. As benzo (a) pyrene was the first environmental chemical carcinogen discovered and has a strong carcinogenicity, it is often regarded as the representative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, accounting for 1% to 20% of all carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Iii. Applicable Regions

The 27 member states of the European Union: The United Kingdom (which left the European Union in 2016), France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania.

Iv. Product Scope

1. Consumer products such as electronics and motors

2. Rubber products, plastic products, automotive plastics, rubber parts

3. Food packaging materials, toys, container materials, etc

4. Other materials

V. Certification Requirements

PAHs test limit requirements:

1. Materials that may be put in the mouth and toys for children under 3 years old :Bap<0.2ppm, total amount <0.2ppm

2. Materials that may cause long-term skin contact (contact time exceeding 30 seconds), toys not covered in Class 1 regulations: Bap<1 PPM, total amount <10 PPM

3. Materials that may cause short-term skin contact (contact time not exceeding 30 seconds) or do not cause contact have a Bap of less than 20ppm and a total content of less than 100ppm

The requirements of PAHs are stipulated in both GS in Germany and REACH Annex 17 in the European Union, and the requirements are different. GS tests 15 items while REACH Annex 17 tests 8 items. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the test requirements before the test.

Vi. Test Items

The main eighteen compounds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are: naphthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo (a) anthracene, thracene, benzo (b) fluoranthene, benzo (k) fluoranthene, benzo (a) pyrene, indeno (1, 2, 3-cd) pyrene, dibenzo (a, h) anthracene and benzo (g, h, i) perylene, 1-methylene, 2-methylene.
