RoHS Test Report for Foil Balloons: SGS Restricted Substances Analysis
This buyer-focused guide reviews the SGS RoHS (EU) 2015/863 test report referenced by FAIR: report SHAHG2207652301, with the sample described as “DEGRADING BALLOON.” It explains the ten restricted substances, the limits of sample-specific test results, and the checks importers should make before relying on a report for a particular product or market.
1. The SGS RoHS Report FAIR Holds — Report Number SHAHG2207652301
SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) is one of the largest inspection, verification, and testing organizations in the world. An SGS RoHS test report is a laboratory analysis of the tested sample against the restricted substances list defined by the applicable directive.
This page summarizes the following SGS RoHS test report referenced by FAIR. Check the original PDF before using any summary as evidence for a purchasing, regulatory, or marketplace decision.
| Field | Report Detail |
|---|---|
| Report Number | SHAHG2207652301 |
| Testing Authority | SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. |
| Sample Designation (as stated in the report) | DEGRADING BALLOON |
| Client Name | Kunshan Fair Craft Product Co., Ltd. |
| Directive Tested | RoHS Directive (EU) 2015/863, amending 2011/65/EU |
The sample was tested as submitted. Review the original report for its exact sample description, test methods, test dates, detection limits, and results. A report for one sample does not automatically establish compliance for every balloon design, material formulation, accessory, or SKU. Confirm applicability to the specific order in writing before relying on it.
For the wider compliance documentation framework, see our SGS test report page and the EN71 safe foil balloons page.
2. The Ten Restricted Substances Under RoHS (EU) 2015/863
The EU RoHS framework restricts specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Directive (EU) 2015/863 added four phthalate esters — DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP — to the original six substance groups. The limits below are commonly expressed as maximum concentrations in homogeneous materials; applicability to a balloon or any component depends on the product, intended use, and relevant legal requirements.
| Code | Substance | Maximum Limit (mg/kg)* | Tested Sample Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pb | Lead | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| Hg | Mercury | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| Cd | Cadmium | ≤ 100 | Not Detected |
| Cr (VI) | Hexavalent Chromium | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| PBBs | Polybrominated Biphenyls | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| PBDEs | Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| DEHP | Di-2-ethylhexyl Phthalate | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| BBP | Butyl Benzyl Phthalate | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| DBP | Dibutyl Phthalate | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
| DIBP | Di-isobutyl Phthalate | ≤ 1,000 | Not Detected |
*The limits shown are the commonly cited RoHS concentration limits expressed in mg/kg (equivalent to ppm by mass). Always check the applicable legal text and the original laboratory report for the exact test scope, units, and detection limits.
According to the report summary represented on this page, the tested “DEGRADING BALLOON” sample was marked “Not Detected” for the ten listed substance groups. This wording does not mean absolute zero: it means the substances were not detected above the applicable laboratory method limits. Verify each result and detection limit in the original report. Results apply to the tested sample only.
3. What the RoHS Report Covers — and What It Does Not
A RoHS test report documents analysis of specified substances in a tested sample. It is not a biodegradation test, a toy-safety assessment, or a universal market-entry approval. It should not be presented as a general environmental certification. RoHS is principally directed at electrical and electronic equipment, so its legal relevance to a particular balloon product should be assessed rather than assumed.
Important distinction: RoHS restricts specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Whether it applies to a balloon, accessory, or component depends on the product and intended use. A RoHS report does not establish biodegradability and does not replace other testing that may be required for the destination market. If a product is marketed as a toy, assess the applicable toy-safety requirements separately; do not assume that RoHS results establish EN71 compliance.
| What the Report Covers | What the Report Does Not Cover |
|---|---|
| Restricted substance screening on the tested sample against the applicable directive | Biodegradability — that is a separate test under ISO 14855-1:2012 or an equivalent method |
| The specific sample submitted to the laboratory (as described in the report) | Toy safety — EN71 is a separate toy safety testing stream |
| The test methods and detection limits documented in the report | Market-entry approval for any specific jurisdiction |

4. B2B Procurement Notes for Importers
Before shipment, importers should establish which legal and customer requirements apply to the exact product and destination market. The checks below help assess whether a test report is relevant and sufficiently documented; a report alone is not a guarantee of market acceptance.
- Check the report number and issuing laboratory. Read the original PDF for the issuing entity, test methods, dates, results, detection limits, and any accreditation details stated in the document. Do not infer accreditation or scope from the laboratory name alone.
- Confirm the sample description matches the product being purchased. A report covering one sample does not automatically cover a different formulation or product structure.
- Confirm the report date and whether the formulation has changed. A test on an older formulation may no longer reflect the current product.
- Confirm the report is relevant to the specific SKU being ordered. Ask the supplier to confirm in writing whether the tested sample matches the ordered material, construction, print, and accessories. If it does not, additional testing may be needed.
- Check the accessory components. Where applicable requirements cover the complete product or its components, a compliant balloon body does not automatically make the finished product compliant. Accessories such as ribbons, stickers, and adhesive tapes should be assessed against the relevant requirements for the destination market.
- Arrange your own inspection if needed. Buyer-arranged pre-shipment inspection is supported. Buyers may nominate SGS, BV, Intertek, or their own inspection agency to visit the factory and inspect sampled units from the order. The inspection is arranged and paid for by the buyer. See the FAQ below for details.
Documentation scope: The information supplied for this page states that FAIR does not hold EN 13432, ASTM D6400, CE marking, ASTM F963, REACH, CPSIA, or California Proposition 65 documentation. These are different standards or regulatory frameworks, and not all apply to every balloon product. If your program specifies any of them, identify the exact requirement at the RFQ stage so applicability and available evidence can be discussed. See the foil balloon manufacturer page for additional supplier information.

6. Buyer FAQ: RoHS Test Reports for Foil Balloons
A RoHS report records results for specified restricted substances in the tested sample, subject to the test method and detection limits. A biodegradation report measures degradation behavior under a specified method. These are separate types of evidence; one does not replace the other. See the SGS test report page for information about the biodegradation report.
Amazon requirements can vary by category, product, and time. Check the current Seller Central requirements for the relevant marketplace and listing, and confirm which documents are requested. The report referenced on this page is SHAHG2207652301; its suitability for a particular listing or SKU must be assessed against the current request. A RoHS report does not guarantee FBA approval.
"Not Detected" means the substance was not found above the method detection limit used by the laboratory for that sample. The detection limit depends on the test method and the substance. Buyers should review the original report for the stated detection limits and the tested substances. The result applies to the tested sample only.
Yes. Buyer-arranged pre-shipment inspection is supported. Buyers may nominate SGS, BV, Intertek, or their own inspection agency to visit the factory and inspect the sampled units from the order. The inspection is arranged and paid for by the buyer. Site access, samples, and documentation are provided by the factory. The specific inspection window and sampling plan are confirmed at quotation stage.
The information supplied for this page references SGS EN71 report SHTY130500007975-01, SGS RoHS report SHAHG2207652301, and an SGS ISO 14855-1:2012 biodegradation report SHMR220700361301. It also states that FAIR is a PEBA (Pro Environment Balloon Alliance) member; membership is not a product certification. FAIR states that it does not hold EN 13432, ASTM D6400, CE marking, ASTM F963, REACH, CPSIA, or California Proposition 65 documentation. Verify the original documents and their scope, and confirm whether they apply to the exact SKU.
MOQ depends on the cooperation model. Programs using existing public molds with a customer label have a lower MOQ threshold. Private print programs with custom artwork have a higher threshold driven by print cylinder production. Fully custom shapes with new tooling have the highest threshold. The applicable MOQ tier for a given order is confirmed at quotation stage. See the foil balloon manufacturer page for the wider program structure.
Biodegradable and compostable are different claims. Biodegradable does not, by itself, specify a timeline or environment. Compostable claims should be tied to a defined standard and its conditions, where applicable. FAIR states that it does not hold EN 13432 or ASTM D6400 certification. The referenced ISO 14855-1:2012 document is described as a test report, not a certification scheme approval.
