Shanghai Murui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2014 and led the establishment of the REACH Group Standard - Key Controlled Chemical Substances in the Automotive Industry Part 1: Application Guide, Standard No. - T ZTCA0111—2022, which was officially released on October 31, 2022.
Official link: In order to comply with the regulatory requirements of the European Union, it is recommended to purchase compliant materials from your supplier, contact your supplier and inform your supplier that the materials you need to manufacture should comply with the current regulatory provisions, and require the supplier to submit a confirmation of material compliance or an evaluation or test report from a third-party laboratory. Murui is in accordance with REACH Automotive Industry Guideline 40. By comparing the evaluation + high-risk substance detection scheme with the whole vehicle or assembly detection scheme, it can save 35% and 45% of the development cost for the enterprise.
Shanghai Murui participates in the revision of QC T942-2021 hexavalent chromium standard, and is recognized by many OEMs such as SAIC, Great Wall, Geely, Chery, Tesla, etc.
REACH Group Criteria – Key Controlled Chemicals in the Automotive Industry Part 2: Testing Specifications and Key Controlled Chemicals in the Automotive Industry Part 3: Assessment Guidelines are currently in the drafting stage.
