PU Natural Rubber Yoga Mat – REACH Phthalates Test Information

Chemical Testing Information for PU Natural Rubber Yoga Mats

UMICCA supplies yoga mats and fitness products for wholesale buyers, yoga brands, studios and distributors.

For buyers sourcing PU natural rubber yoga mats, chemical testing documentation can provide useful information about selected substances in submitted material samples.

UMICCA holds a historical third-party test report for a sample described as "PU Natural Rubber Yoga Mat."

The 2018 report was issued to Guangzhou Umicca Rubber Products Co., Ltd. The relationship between that named entity and the present-day Guangzhou Umicca Sport Products Co., Ltd. should be verified before the report is used to support current commercial product claims.

The laboratory report covers six selected phthalates and records a PASS conclusion for its specified testing scope.

What Is Phthalates Testing for Yoga Mats?

Phthalates are a group of chemical substances used in certain material applications, including as plasticisers.

Chemical testing can be used to investigate specified phthalates in submitted yoga mat materials.

For buyers sourcing PU and natural rubber yoga mats, phthalates test documentation can support material evaluation and customer discussions.

A historical test result does not automatically establish that every current yoga mat product meets all applicable chemical restrictions.

What Is REACH Annex XVII?

REACH is the European Union regulatory framework concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.

Annex XVII establishes restrictions for specified chemicals under defined conditions.

The 2018 yoga mat report referenced Entries 51 and 52 as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 552/2009.

These requirements have subsequently been amended. The historical report should not be treated as complete verification of current EU REACH compliance.

Historical SGS Phthalates Test Report Information

The document identifies the following information:

  • Report Number: GZHL1807029879OT

  • Report Date: July 23, 2018

  • Sample Description: PU Natural Rubber Yoga Mat

  • SGS Reference Number: CAN18-143140

  • Tested Specimen: SN1

  • SGS Sample ID: CAN18-143140.001

  • Tested Part Description: Green soft plastic with dark green printing

  • Named Supplier and Manufacturer in the Report: Guangzhou Umicca Rubber Products Co., Ltd.

  • Referenced Test Method: EN 14372:2004

  • Analytical Technique: GC-MS

  • Test Items: Six selected phthalates

  • Reported Conclusion: PASS

The results apply to the submitted specimen and the specified analytical methods.

They do not establish testing of every color, product model or production batch currently supplied by UMICCA.

Which Six Phthalates Were Tested?

The report includes the following substances:

  • Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

  • Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP)

  • Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)

  • Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP)

  • Di-n-octyl Phthalate (DNOP)

  • Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP)

All six were reported as ND (Not Detected) at their specified method detection limits.

The report listed method detection limits of 0.003% by weight for DBP, BBP, DEHP and DNOP, and 0.010% by weight for DINP and DIDP.

The combined DBP, BBP and DEHP result was ND.

The combined DINP, DNOP and DIDP result was also ND.

The laboratory recorded a PASS conclusion under the historical requirements referenced in the report.

What Does ND Mean in a Test Report?

ND means Not Detected below the specified method detection limit.

It does not prove that a tested material contains absolutely none of the substance.

The meaning of a result depends on the analytical method, detection limit and submitted specimen.

Buyers should also distinguish between test results for specified chemicals and broader claims such as non-toxic, chemical-free or fully REACH compliant.

Does the 2018 Report Confirm Current REACH Compliance?

No. The report documents testing performed in July 2018 with reference to the restrictions identified at that time.

EU restrictions concerning certain phthalates have subsequently changed, including the scope of chemicals covered by relevant provisions.

For example, the historical report does not include a separate DIBP result.

Buyers requiring current EU market compliance should confirm the applicable legal requirements, relevant chemical list and whether updated testing is necessary.

Why Is Chemical Testing Important for Wholesale Yoga Mat Buyers?

Yoga mat brands, importers and distributors may request chemical testing information when evaluating materials and suppliers.

When sourcing PU natural rubber yoga mats, buyers should consider:

  • Material composition and construction

  • Surface coating and rubber backing

  • Color and printing materials

  • Intended market and product application

  • Applicable chemical restrictions

  • Tested substances and analytical limits

  • Sample identification

  • Production batch traceability

  • Customer-specific testing requirements

  • Availability of updated technical documentation

Material test documentation is one part of supplier evaluation and does not replace a current product-specific compliance assessment.
