China's draft "Requirements for Limiting Chemical Hazards of Consumer Products" is managed by China's National Consumer Product Safety Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC 508). The national standard "Requirements for Limiting Chemical Hazards of Consumer Products" jointly drafted by the China Institute of Standardization and other units has recently completed the collection of public opinions. This standard aims to establish consumer product safety standards and improve consumer product quality requirements. Like the EU REACH regulations, it is a basic safety requirement for the hazards of chemical substances, which imposes restriction requirements on Class 103 substances (Annex 2). The list of restricted substances contains several existing regulatory requirements in China. For those parts that do not have domestic regulations, the EU and other international regulations are used as a reference. The restricted substances list in the final draft is very similar to Appendix 17 of the EU REACH regulations for hazardous substances in consumer products. Currently, 103 categories of chemical substances and their restrictions in consumer products are listed. Consumer products include children's products, textiles and clothing, Household appliances, electronic information technology products, decoration materials, furniture, etc. Examples of the list of restricted substances are as follows: – heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury and nickel; – phthalates; – alkanes and alkenes; – alkyl halides; – phenols; – polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; and – aldehydes.
