Harmonized Standards for Nickel Release in Moldova
BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 23, 2026 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 022.26, summarizing Moldova’s authorization of three standards for nickel migration.
Order No. 6/2026, approving the harmonized standards, was issued in January 2026, effectively transposing European Communication C/2023/1604 into Moldovan national law and supporting compliance with nickel restrictions under the EU’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation.
The Order also transposes European Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/659 into Moldova’s regulatory framework by harmonizing SM EN IEC 63000:2019 (EN IEC 63000:2018), supporting Moldova’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements for electrical and electronic products.
SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 022.26 includes a useful table with further information on the list of standards for nickel under Order No. 6/2026.
Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 022.26 for more details.
