Recently, in accordance with the spirit of the meeting of the National Standardization Management Committee, the quality and Standards Office of the China Light Industry Federation's general quality department has held a mandatory coordination meeting on standards for footwear hygiene and safety.

At the meeting, the representatives of various parties made a careful review of the standards for the hygiene and safety of footwear. According to the opinions of experts and enterprises, in order to make the standards more targeted and operational, avoid misunderstanding in the market supervision, make the standards more convenient for enterprises to use, and have a guiding role in consumer behavior. The standard name was revised to "the limit of harmful substances in footwear", and the technical requirements were adjusted to the compulsory limit requirements for free formaldehyde, azo dyes and extractable heavy metals (lead, cadmium and arsenic) in footwear products.

This standard will be submitted to the National Standardization Technical Committee for approval after being approved. If the mandatory national standard passes smoothly, the higher demand for China's footwear industry will be put forward. The direct benefits will be the protection of consumers' health and the increase of testing costs.
