Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are chemical substances that are harmful to humans and exist in or accumulate within the bodies of animals and plants, and circulate in the natural environment over extended periods. POPs are naturally occurring or synthetic organic pollutants characterized by persistence, bioaccumulation, semi-volatility, and high toxicity. POPs include pesticides, industrial chemicals, and by-products unintentionally generated during industrial processes. These pollutants can travel long distances through various environmental media (air, water, organisms), crossing borders and affecting human health and ecosystems even in areas where POPs were never used or produced, causing significant global harm.

PAHs Testing

Phthalates is a general term for compounds that result from the reaction of phthalic anhydride and alcohol. Such substances are mainly employed as plasticizers making plastics and rubber more pliable. They are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment (EEE), toys, coatings, inks, garments, packaging materials, detergents, lubricants, and personal care articles. But when the concentration of phthalates exceeds a certain level, it may disrupt the endocrine system of human bodies, bringing harm to the development and health of children.

From small issues like paint peeling off phone cases or fading car buttons to major problems like outdoor equipment rusting and failing or electronic components short-circuiting, these seemingly "worn-out" problems often have a common culprit: environmental aging. Excessive humidity, sun exposure, salt spray corrosion, and high-temperature baking—products face environmental stress in real-world use that is far more severe than we might imagine. How can we predict a product's "anti-aging" capability in advance? Aging tests are a critical reliability assessment method. They simulate or intensify various conditions that a product might encounter in actual use, allowing for a quick evaluation of the durability, stability, and lifespan prediction of materials or products.

Facial towel products must comply with GB/T 40276-2021 "Soft Towels" and GB 15979-2024 "Hygienic Requirements for Disposable Sanitary Products" standards. As an industry-leading professional testing organization, CIRS Testing understands consumer safety concerns and deciphers the safety code of facial towels from a testing perspective, using scientific data to ensure your "facial cleansing needs" are protected!

As wigs are consumer products that come into direct contact with the human head, their safety, durability, and realism have become core concerns for global market regulation. Different countries and regions have established strict regulatory standards for wig products, specifying multidimensional testing requirements that cover physical performance, chemical safety, and material identification. This article systematically outlines the main regulatory frameworks and core testing items in the wig industry to provide a reference for production and compliance.

On October 3, 2025, the European Commission published (EU) 2025/1988 in the Official Journal, amending Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation (Restrictions) to include item 82, which sets forth control requirements for PFAS in firefighting foams. The revised regulation will take effect on October 23, 2025. This amendment marks a significant step towards comprehensive PFAS regulation in the EU. The firefighting foam industry should pay close attention to this revision, and other industries should continue to monitor the EU's progress in regulating PFAS across all sectors.
