SGS REACH Compliance Certificate for PBT Plastic Materials

LD28/SP28 Square Flange Connector Dimensions and Materials

What This SGS REACH Certificate Confirms for PBT Plastic Materials

This SGS REACH Compliance Certificate verifies that the Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) plastic materials supplied by the client meet the safety and environmental standards set under the EU’s REACH Regulation. The certificate covers a 255-substance screening scope, which is a common benchmark for assessing restricted substances in polymer materials used across industrial and electronic applications.

For engineers and procurement teams, this document provides a clear basis for evaluating material compliance before specifying PBT in connector housings, insulators, or other molded components. It helps answer a practical question: does the raw material align with current EU chemical safety requirements?

Why REACH Compliance Matters for Connector Materials

PBT is widely selected for its dimensional stability, electrical insulation properties, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. However, material performance alone is not enough. In regulated markets, the chemical composition of plastics must also meet environmental standards. A REACH certificate offers documented evidence that the material has been screened against a defined list of restricted substances.

This is particularly relevant when PBT is used in:

• Circular connector housings and coupling nuts
• Insulators and contact carriers in cable assemblies
• Components exposed to heat, humidity, or industrial environments

How to Use This Certificate in Your Material Review

When evaluating PBT for a new project, treat the REACH certificate as one input in a broader material qualification process. Confirm that the certificate corresponds to the specific grade and color of PBT you intend to use, since additive packages can vary between formulations. Also verify the test date and the laboratory issuing the report to ensure the evidence is current.

If your application requires additional documentation, such as RoHS or UL recognition, request those records separately. A REACH certificate does not replace other compliance or performance certifications.
