📋 New Materials Policy Monitoring Daily Report (2026-08-13)

Monitoring Scope: EU REACH SVHC Candidate List; China GB National Standards
Daily Conclusion: No major new policy changes detected today. The EU REACH SVHC list remains at the 247-substance baseline; several new-materials-relevant China GB standards have recently entered into force and require ongoing compliance attention.

1. Policy Source Check Results

2. Recent Effective Standards (within monitoring window)

1. GB/T 47005-2026 “Technical specification for laser directed energy deposition titanium alloy parts for additive manufacturing” — effective Aug 1, 2026. Specifies requirements for materials, equipment, process, post-treatment and quality inspection of titanium alloy L-DED parts. (Directly relevant to new materials)
2. GB/T 47006-2026 “Quality grading and inspection requirements for laser powder bed fusion metal parts for additive manufacturing” — effective Aug 1, 2026. Establishes a quality grading and inspection evaluation system for metal additive manufacturing parts. (Directly relevant to new materials)
3. GB 38031-2025 “Safety requirements for power batteries of electric vehicles” — effective Jul 1, 2026 (mandatory). Adds mandatory “no fire, no explosion” thermal propagation requirement, bottom impact test, and post-fast-charge safety test. (Battery materials related)
4. GB 18580-2025 “Indoor decorating and refurbishing materials — Limit of formaldehyde emission of wood-based panels and finishing products” — effective Jun 1, 2026 (mandatory). The E0 grade is upgraded from recommended to mandatory threshold.

3. Risk Assessment

• EU REACH SVHC: Low. List is stable with no same-day additions. Exporters of chemical-containing products to the EU should maintain existing screening obligations (articles with SVHC >0.1% w/w require supply-chain communication/notification and SCIP filing).
• China GB Standards (new-materials related): Medium. The additive-manufacturing titanium alloy standards effective Aug 1, 2026, and the power-battery safety standard effective Jul 1, 2026, are both in their early mandatory-enforcement phase, creating compliance adaptation pressure for relevant enterprises.

4. Action Recommendations (for Chinese exporting enterprises)

1. EU export compliance: Maintain SVHC supply-chain substance screening based on the 247-substance candidate list; fulfill REACH Article 33 communication obligations and SCIP database filing for articles containing >0.1% SVHC; watch for ECHA’s next regular update (typically June / January each year).
2. Additive manufacturing enterprises: Align with GB/T 47005-2026 and GB/T 47006-2026; review quality grading, process parameters and inspection requirements for titanium alloy L-DED and metal L-PBF parts; update internal control standards and supplier specifications.
3. Power-battery and materials enterprises: Confirm products meet the GB 38031-2025 mandatory “no fire, no explosion” requirement; complete thermal propagation, bottom impact, and post-fast-charge safety testing to avoid disqualification from vehicle supply chains and exports.
4. Tracking schedule: Continuously monitor the national standards information platform (std.samr.gov.cn) monthly announcements and the ECHA candidate list updates.

📋 Policy Monitoring Daily Report

Report Date: August 1, 2026 (Saturday)
Coverage: China GB Standards / EU REACH / US EPA TSCA
Risk Level: 🟡 Medium-High (Major new standard takes effect today)

⚠️ Critical Update: GB 46520-2025 Takes Effect Today

Event: GB 46520-2025 Mandatory National Standard for Combustion Performance of Building Thermal Insulation Materials officially enters into force on August 1, 2026.

1. Key Requirements

• Scope: Building thermal insulation materials (EPS, XPS, rock wool, PU foam, etc.)
• Core Changes: New combustion performance classification; stricter heat release rate and smoke toxicity limits
• Compliance Obligation: All insulation materials produced, sold, or used domestically in China must meet the new standard
• Enforcement: Non-compliant products cannot be released, sold, or used; violations subject to administrative penalties and product recalls

2. Impact on Exporters

If your company manufactures insulation materials in China and exports internationally:

• Domestic sales: Effective immediately — all products must comply as of today
• EU exports: Must still meet EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) EN 13501-1 fire classification; different framework — dual compliance assessment recommended
• US exports: Check NFPA 285 requirements for exterior wall assemblies; coordinate with your US customers on updated specs
• Raw material sourcing: Verify that upstream suppliers’ test reports have been updated to the new standard version

3. Recommended Actions

1. ✅ IMMEDIATE: Audit current inventory — confirm test reports meet GB 46520-2025
2. ✅ Within 7 days: Engage an accredited testing lab for re-certification if not yet completed
3. ✅ Within 30 days: Update product labels and packaging compliance markings
4. ✅ Ongoing: Build supply chain compliance traceability; retain test reports for at least 5 years

📌 Other Policy Updates (No Major Changes)

1. EU REACH SVHC Candidate List

• Status: Total ~251 substances; no significant additions in July 2026
• Monitoring: Continue watching ECHA announcements for potential additions

2. US EPA TSCA

• Status: No major new regulations targeting the new materials sector in July 2026
• Monitoring: Track EPA’s ongoing PBT chemical substance actions

3. Other Recent China GB Standards

• GB 30981.1/2-2025 (Hazardous substance limits in coatings): Effective June 1, 2026 — ongoing compliance period
• GB/T 46992-2025 (Rare earth recycling): Effective July 1, 2026
• GB/T 29862-2026 (Textile fiber labeling): Published July 2, 2026; effective August 1, 2027 — early awareness recommended
