China's Exports Of European Products Have Been Notified By The European Commission For Violating REACH Regulations.

From June 1, 2007 to the European Union REACH regulation Over the past 3 years, the number of products exported to Europe has been around 200 times by the European Commission's non food quick alert system (RAPEX) for violating the REACH regulations. Among them, only 100 were notified in 2010 alone.

The products recalled by RAPEX were made of plastic toys and scarves. clothing etc. Spin Products are the main products. Among them, the main reason why plastic toys were notified was that the product contained excessive amount of o-benzoic acid two. According to the regulations of REACH, ordinary toys or children's care products, as well as children's toys and child care products that can be put into the mouth, contain some specific phthalate two formic acid in the plastic, and the concentration should not exceed 0.1%. The reason for the recall of textiles is that the azo dyes will release carcinogens. These products have been banned from sale after being notified, and some have even been destroyed. The same problem products have been refused to enter the European Union.

The RAPEX bulletin is only the tip of the iceberg for EU enforcement of REACH. Following the launch of the first REACH joint law enforcement in April 2009, the EU has implemented more than 200 REACH joint law enforcement inspections. EU law enforcement efforts against REACH continue to be strengthened. At present, the EU chemicals administration is building a REACH registration information platform which is shared with the customs. After the platform is successfully built, the REACH inspection of the EU customs will become routine inspection. This will bring severe tests to China's chemicals related products.

It is understood that the law enforcement efforts of EU countries are different for REACH regulations, among which the penalties in Britain and Germany are the most severe. In addition to setting a very high fine, Britain can also impose criminal penalties. In Germany, an offence resulting from negligence registration is liable to a fine of up to 100 thousand euros; the offense resulting from negligence authorization will be subject to 1 years' imprisonment or an appropriate fine; if it is harmful to human health or the environment, it will be sentenced to a maximum of 5 years' imprisonment.
