The production and manufacturing process of toys involves various materials, including basic materials such as metals, wood, plastics, textiles, and their additives. These additives, which exist in toy materials for various purposes such as stability, plasticization, antioxidant, flame retardant, etc., often become invisible health killers due to the presence of toxic and harmful heavy metals.

When screening consumer products such as toys, clothing, footwear, and electronic devices for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), and other toxic metals, the Vanta handheld XRF analyzer can perform rapid elemental analysis to determine whether these products comply with RoHS regulations.

The regulations implemented by government agencies such as the China RoHS Directive (ACPEIP), the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) (HR404), California Proposition 65, and the EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) aim to protect the public from the hazards of toxic pollutants present in consumer and electronic products. In the application of monitoring whether consumer products meet regulatory requirements, the Vanta analyzer is an important tool for establishing reasonable testing items as it can perform rapid and non-destructive screening of consumer products on site.
