Chinese Textiles Were Notified By The European Union In 2012.

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com" > textile industry < /a > is China's traditional dominant industries. Textile exports have always played an important role in China's export products.

The annual export volume of Chinese textiles (including clothing) is over 170 billion dollars, and the value of textiles and clothing exported to the EU and the United States every year is over 10 billion dollars.

But in recent years, China's textile exports are faced with technical barriers and green barriers, and recall cases have occurred repeatedly.

The textiles and clothing products of < /p > P > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > EU < /a > and recall notice of the United States are mainly children's clothing and shoes, but also include some sportswear and special purpose clothes.

The main reason for the announcement was the risk of asphyxia (the length of the rope for children's tops and caps exceeded the standard, which accounted for more than 90% of the safety risk Bulletin), the chemical risk (detected by methyl ester and azo dye fumarate), the risk of injury (the length of the waist waist rope of children's clothing exceeded the standard), and the flame retardant standards were not consistent with the.

All the products mentioned were ordered to take corrective actions except for the children's garments whose length of rope was over standard. Other kinds of products had either withdrawn from the market voluntarily or passively. Products that had not yet entered their main market were directly refused by the customs.

< /p > < p > according to Liu Shuang, technical director of consumer products testing department of Hangzhou Rui Xu products Technology Co., Ltd., the Chinese products listed in RAPEX in 2012, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/" > textile < /a > were the most notified cases, accounting for 337 cases, accounting for 30.2% of all China's products.

Among them, strangulation (strangulation) is the main type of danger. This danger is mostly due to the pull of rope around children's clothing hats or necks. Injuries (personal injury) is the second dangerous type, mainly the neck, and the design of rope in the back and waist is against the safety requirements of European countries for children's clothing ropes (EN

< p > at the same time, the EU OEKO-TEX Standard in April 1, 2013.

100 the eco textile standard will be formally implemented, not only for the control of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, o-phthalic acid esters and alkylphenols, etc., taking into account the update of the highly concerned substances (SVHC) in the EU REACH regulations, the inclusion of fumaric acid two methyl ester and other substances will be included in the monitored list.

This means that all new textile products sold in the EU market must comply with the requirements of the EU eco textiles and REACH regulations.

As China's largest textile producer and exporter in the world, how to maintain a good momentum of development in textile and apparel international trade and vigorously develop eco textile products will become an inevitable choice.

Technical experts suggest that enterprises should increase their research and response to national safety standards and regulations, recognize the impact of new directives and new standards on various industries, and seriously familiarise themselves with the changes and updates of standards, organize production in strict accordance with the latest laws and regulations, enhance the research and development efforts of new materials and new technologies, reduce and eliminate toxic and harmful substances in products. At the same time, enterprises need to pay attention to the EU RAPEX notification information, clarify the material conditions of their products, establish the control system of harmful substances in the products, strengthen the creation of their own brands, gain more market space with technology and brand, improve the quality management of export products, and avoid potential risks of products, so as to enhance the competitiveness of Chinese products in the international market. < p > this, Rui Xu.
