Sample and test method
The test group is described as blue plastic, white plastic and pink plastic, combined as A1+A2+A3. The SGS sample ID is CAN24-0062834-0002. The report states that the components were tested as an equal-proportion composite at the client's request.
According to the report, the analysis used an SGS in-house method and instruments or techniques including ICP-OES, UV-VIS, GC-MS, HPLC-DAD/MS and a colorimetric method. The original report identifies the methods and related notes.
How to understand the result
The report summary states that, within its specified scope and screening evaluation, SVHC results for the submitted sample were ≤ 0.1% by weight and records a pass. Its results table records ND for the candidate-list and potential-SVHC groups.
In this report, ND means the result was below the reporting limit; it does not mean the substance is necessarily absent. The report explains that the reporting limit is not the regulatory limit, and that substances below the reporting limit are not individually listed as detected in the summary table.
