Lead Content Test

Heavy Metal Detection Service

Lead is a common harmful heavy metal that is widely found in various products. Due to its severe harm to human health, especially to the development of children's nervous systems, many countries have established strict lead content limit standards.

Through professional lead content testing, it can be ensured that products comply with relevant regulatory requirements and protect consumer health and safety.

Test Standards

International Standards

  • ASTM F963-17 American Toy Safety Standard
  • EN 71-3:2019 EU Toy Safety Standard
  • ISO 8124-3 International Toy Safety Standard
  • CPSC-CH-E1001-09.1 US Consumer Product Safety Commission Standard

China Standards

  • GB 28480-2012 Decorative Articles Safety Requirements
  • GB 6675-2014 Toy Safety Standard
  • GB 2762-2017 Food Safety National Standard
  • GB/T 28019-2011 Determination of Harmful Elements in Decorative Articles

Limit Value Requirements

Lead Content Limit Values for Toy Materials

The CPSIA Act in the United States stipulates that the lead content in paints and other surface coatings that can come into contact with children's products shall not exceed 90ppm, and the lead content in substrates of children's products produced after August 2021 shall not exceed 100ppm

Lead Content Limit Values for Decorative Articles

The REACH Regulation of the EU stipulates that the lead content in decorative articles shall not exceed 0.05% (500ppm)

Lead Content Limit Values for Food Contact Materials

There are strict limits on the lead content in food contact materials in various countries, usually requiring it to be between 1-10ppm

Lead Content Limit Values for Packaging Materials

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive of the EU stipulates that the lead content in packaging materials shall not exceed 100ppm

Testing Methods

ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)

Currently, the most commonly used heavy metal detection method, with high sensitivity, high precision, and the advantage of simultaneous detection of multiple elements, with a detection limit reaching the ppt level

AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy)

Traditional heavy metal detection methods, suitable for the precise determination of single elements, with good accuracy and stability

XRF (X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry)

Quick screening method, no sample pretreatment required, non-destructive testing, suitable for preliminary screening of large batches of samples

ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry)

Applicable for simultaneous detection of multiple elements, wide linear range, low detection limit, suitable for the analysis of various matrix samples

Precautions

Lead content testing requires selecting the appropriate test standards and limit value requirements according to the product type and target market, and considering the actual usage and contact situation of the product.
