Chemical Testing for Luggage and Travel Goods: It clears every list, in every market.

What is inside the product matters as much as how it performs. We screen materials and finishes against US and EU restricted-substance lists before they reach the line, so a banned substance is never found after the goods are boxed.

What we test
The full chemical panel, from raw material to finished product. We screen restricted substances, PFAS, and specialty chemistry across luggage, bags, leather goods, and children's lines, to the standard each market requires.
Restricted substances		_{What is on the lists, screened before the line.}
REACH SVHC screening Chromium VI, azo dyes, formaldehyde Heavy metals in hardware and coatings		CPSIA lead and phthalate limits Nickel release and VOC screening
PFAS & coatings		_{Water-repellent finishes, tested against tightening limits.}
PFAS analysis, total-fluorine and targeted Current and incoming PFAS restrictions		DWR and water-resistant coatings Reformulation support to PFAS-free
Children's & specialty		_{Higher safety thresholds, met the first time.}
CPSIA testing and Children's Product Certificate Food-contact and cosmetics safety for travel kits		ASTM F963 small-parts and flammability Phthalates, PAHs in accessories

Standards & methods
Tested to the standards each market requires. EU and US requirements are often more stringent than international equivalents. We run one programme across both.

EU REACH Annex XVII (33 restricted CMR substances) Country-level PFAS restrictions EU restricted-substance lists	US CPSIA lead, phthalate, and CPC requirements California Proposition 65 State-level PFAS restrictions	Programme Multi-market RSL: one supplier, one report ASTM F963 for children's lines Method and sample size documented

Outcomes & value
What chemical testing earns you.

Reduced recall risk Proactive screening for banned and restricted substances across all target markets. Problems resolved at the tannery, not at the port.	Fewer production delays Non-compliant materials caught before they enter the production line, so no mid-run stoppages for chemical failures.	Supplier confidence Material suppliers with verified chemical-management systems reduce your incoming-inspection burden and your supply-chain risk.

An extension of your team
Designed out at the brief, screened out before the run. We work alongside your team to keep restricted substances out of the product, from the first material choice through to the production line.
How we work with you
Design compliance in We flag the restricted-substance and chemical exposure of each candidate material early, so a problem is caught in design, not after tooling.	Screen before production We screen materials and finishes against REACH, CPSIA, Proposition 65, and PFAS before the line runs, so a failed test is a sample, not a shipment.	Maintain the RSL, with defensible proof We build and maintain your restricted-substance list and supplier declarations, and every result traces to an accredited method, so a recall inquiry or buyer audit meets evidence, not a scramble.

Common questions from compliance and sourcing teams.

+ What chemicals are tested in luggage?

REACH SVHC, CPSIA lead and phthalates, PFAS, chromium VI, azo dyes, formaldehyde, nickel release, and VOC. Children's bags add ASTM F963 and flammability.
+ Do you screen for PFAS?

Yes, with both total-fluorine and targeted analysis, including DWR coatings tested against current and incoming PFAS restrictions in the EU and US states.
+ Can you run one programme across US and EU?

Yes. We run multi-market RSL programmes so one supplier produces one report covering both markets.
+ Can you test leather at the tannery?

Yes. For leather goods we screen chromium VI, azo dyes, and formaldehyde at source, so the chemistry is resolved before the finished bag.
