Baopeng Fitness’s core weight training products have all passed the SVHC screening.

Recently, the main products of Nantong Baopeng Fitness Fitness Equipment Technology Co., Ltd.—dumbbells and weight plates—have successfully passed the REACH SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) screening conducted by SGS, a globally recognized testing agency. The report indicates that despite the EU’s list of restricted substances expanding to 253 items, Baopeng Fitness’s products remain consistently compliant, with all detected substance concentrations below 0.1%, resulting in a “PASS” determination.   According to the SGS report, three types of Dumbbells and Weight plates submitted for testing were screened against the latest list of 253 SVHC substances. The results showed no detection (ND) for all items. The EU REACH SVHC candidate list is expanding rapidly—within just a few months it has grown from 251 to 253 substances, adding two new Substances of Very High Concern. This increasing scrutiny raises compliance requirements for fitness equipment exporters and continuously raises the bar for regulatory adherence. Each update to the substance list may put previously compliant products at risk of non-compliance.   Baopeng Fitness’s response strategy involves proactive planning and regular testing. Every new product from the factory is prioritized for testing in Europe. Additionally, the factory develops quarterly sampling plans for its main products and other items, sending each listed product for inspection. Upon receiving test reports, the factory collaborates with workshops, process engineers, procurement, and other departments to analyze findings, propose optimization measures, and retest accordingly. This creates a closed-loop cycle of “testing—analysis—optimization—validation,” ensuring every product reaching the market meets international standards. For any issues identified during testing—such as unclear printed fonts, color batch variations, or frayed edges on bell plates—the root causes are addressed promptly: adjusting ink concentration and machine parameters, standardizing color paste mixing procedures, or inspecting mold wear and injection pressure. Each corrective action is assigned to a responsible person and verified in the next quarter’s sampling. Baopeng Fitness’s quality control system has proven robust. Dumbbell products have achieved zero detections under the 253-item list; CPU bell plates showed only one detected substance under the updated 253-item list, with concentrations well below the limit values. Behind these results lies Baopeng Fitness’s strict raw material management—all steel, polyurethane, rubber, and other materials must come with environmental compliance certificates, effectively blocking high-risk substances at the source. For Baopeng Fitness’s global customers, these SGS reports significantly reduce procurement risks. Whether exporting to the EU or meeting brand-specific export audits, Baopeng Fitness can provide authoritative third-party verification. In today’s increasingly stringent environmental regulations within the fitness equipment industry, Baopeng Fitness’s consistent and reliable testing success demonstrates the strong capabilities of Chinese manufacturing in both quality and compliance.
