textile

The new regulation of labelling has revised the existing regulations on the use of textile fiber names, labels, markings, and the determination of textile fiber components, with the purpose of regulating the fiber specification and textile labeling system of textile and apparel products in the EU market.

It is learnt that the new regulation of the EU is suitable for the "textile fiber or textile parts with a weight percentage of 80% of the relevant products". The new regulation clearly stipulates that when manufacturers and importers put the textile into the EU market, it is the responsibility to ensure that the labels or labels on the products are accurate. The names of all the fibers used in the products must be listed in labels or markings according to the weight percentage. The single fiber that accounts for less than 5% of the total weight of the textile, or the total fiber that weighs less than 15% of the total weight of the textile, can be listed as "other fibers".

The new regulations replace 3 existing EU directives, namely, 73/44/EEC, 96/73/EC and 2008/121/EC, which will take effect after the publication of the EU official gazette.

Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shishi Office official pointed out that textile and clothing label problems are:

fibrillar component

If the label does not conform to the requirements, if the fiber content is not consistent, the fiber label name is not in conformity with the product, indicating that the fiber content is not in conformity with the contract. The washing label does not meet the requirements, and some products requiring washing marks do not label the washing requirements or incorrect marking. In violation of the domestic foreign standards, the use of well-known trademarks abroad is used for production and operation without any authorization.

To this end, Quanzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shishi office reminded the region textile and garment export enterprises: first, we should attach great importance to it.

EU textiles

The new regulations of the label, actively learn the mandatory requirements of the new regulations, make sure that the labels of the textiles are properly labeled to ensure that the products meet the EU requirements; two, we should strengthen the examination of the labels provided by the customers, avoid unnecessary losses due to the labels that the customers do not comply with the requirements of the EU importing countries; three, we must recognize that labels are also an important part of the quality of the products. We should be honest and self disciplined. We should check the indefinite ingredients labels in time to the authorities in charge of testing, so as to avoid the notification, return or confiscation of imported textiles because of the unqualified labels.
