For better help

The economic development and social progress make consumers pay more and more attention to the harmless products to the human body and the environment. The requirements of the European and American countries on the quality and safety of shoes and leather products are also gradually increasing.

In March 17, 2009, the European Union issued the directive (2009/251/EC), requiring products containing two methyl fumarate (DMFU) not to enter the market. In June 2010, the 65 proposal of the United States of America asked importers, manufacturers and retailers of fashion accessories such as shoes and bags to strictly control the products containing chemicals such as lead and ortho benzene two formate, otherwise sold illegally. Since July 1, 2010, the European Union 2009/425/EC directive has further restricted the use of organotin compounds in consumer goods. "California"

From 1 to October this year, Guangdong's footwear products exported 4 billion 620 million and 1 billion 410 million US dollars to traditional markets, the United States and the European Union, respectively, by 21% and 25.1% respectively. The total exports to the above two markets accounted for 59.5% of the total value of Guangdong's footwear exports in the same period.

The constantly updated laws and regulations in foreign countries bring challenges to domestic enterprises, and Guangdong, as a major province in the production and export of footwear and leather products, is more vulnerable.

At the seminar, Ms. Wang Xiaoli, senior consultant of Intertek Tianxiang group textile technology R & D, focused on the main restricted substances in shoes and leather. Comparative analysis was carried out from Proposition 65 of the United States of America to the consumer goods safety enhancement act CPSIA in California, from the two methyl fumarate (DMFU) to organotin compounds, the hazards of the restricted substances and the countermeasures were introduced professionally and comprehensively.

Some customers said that this study deepened the understanding of the requirements of foreign standards for footwear and leather products, and played an important guiding role in product production and export.

President He Guiling of Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association has fully affirmed the seminar.

She said: "Guangdong footwear manufacturers are now vigorously promoting the technological innovation of the footwear industry, and the most important task is to strengthen cooperation with the internationally renowned certification bodies. This is of great significance for our enterprises to grasp the latest international technology trends, enhance the ability to withstand risks in the international market, and open up domestic and foreign markets.

This cooperation with Intertek is successful, pragmatic and meaningful.

We will maintain long-term cooperation with Intertek and contribute to the development of Guangdong's footwear industry. "
