EU: The EU Packaging Directive is 94/62/EC, also known as the RoHS Directive on Packaging Materials. The latest revision is 2005/20/EC, which involves all packaging materials, auxiliary materials and containers for electronic and electrical products. The total content of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium shall not exceed 100 mg/kg. Packaging materials can be divided into three levels. Primary packaging refers to the packaging that arrives in the hands of consumers together with the product, and must be tested within the RoHS requirements; The secondary packaging is also called box or unit packaging. The removal of the packaging will not affect the product characteristics. This kind of packaging depends on the negotiation with the customer, and may not be tested; Tertiary packaging transportation packaging, protecting products in transportation (excluding containers), without testing. US: TPCH is the acronym of "Toxics in Packaging Clearing House", which was called CONEG in the early days, namely, the Association of Governors of Northeast China. TPCH is a coordinated regulation of the United States aimed at reducing the content of certain harmful substances in packaging materials, which was implemented in 1989. The law has come into force in 19 states of the United States.Before 2021, the TPCH Act issued by 19 states in the United States prohibits the intentional use of cadmium, lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium in any finished product packaging or packaging components, and limits the total concentration of four metals to 100 ppm. In February 2021, the Packaging Toxic Substances Clearing House (TPCH) announced the organization's 2021 update: the Packaging Toxic Substances Act. The updated contents include the addition of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and phthalates as categories of controlled chemicals, as well as new procedures and guidelines for identifying and controlling other chemicals of high concern in packaging. Limit of controlled substances: lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium 0.01% (by mass) phthalate 0.01% (by mass) perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): not detectable For more information, please contact our professional team:
