What CE Marking Means for Cosmetic Accessories and Toiletry Bags
Toiletry bags must comply with:
-
General Product Safety Directive (GPSD): Ensuring no physical or chemical risks during normal use
-
REACH Regulation: Restricting 224 hazardous substances in materials
Manufacturers must verify components like zippers and linings meet chemical migration limits, such as PVC materials requiring DEHP plasticizer testing (restricted to 0.1% under REACH Annex XVII).
