REACH certification of electric toothbrush——ZRLK

Electric toothbrush is a relatively new tooth cleaning tool, which is widely used in many developed countries. According to the survey, electric toothbrush is better than ordinary toothbrush in removing dental bacteria and reducing gingival bleeding, and it can also achieve better cleaning effect. Almost everyone in Europe and America uses electric toothbrush. However, if the electric toothbrush wants to be exported to the EU, it is generally necessary to apply for REACH certification.

What is REACH certification?

The full name of REACH is "Registration, Evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals", that is, EU regulation (EC) No.1907/2006, which is the EU regulation on registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals, and came into effect on June 1, 2007. Its purpose is to ensure the protection of human health and environment at a high level, promote the free circulation of chemicals in the EU market, and improve competitiveness and innovation ability.

REACH laws and regulations control a wide range of products, including electronic and electrical products, textiles, household products, chemicals, etc., and only a few products are not within the control scope of REACH. For enterprises, a deep understanding of the corresponding requirements of REACH is the basis for enterprises to take targeted control measures.
