How should buyers describe ROHS, REACH or NP requirements for PVC cable compound?
Compliance requirements affect plasticizer, stabilizer and additive choices, so buyers should specify market, test items, limits and report needs.
Environmental requirements such as ROHS, REACH, NP, phthalate restrictions and low odor cannot be covered by the vague phrase “eco-friendly PVC”.
Different markets and customers may require different restricted substances, limits and reports.
These requirements affect plasticizers, stabilizers, flame-retardant systems and other additives, which may change cost, odor, processing and migration behavior.
Buyers should state the target market, customer standard, restricted items, report needs, color and expected volume before sampling.
