Export Of Textiles Should Strictly Control Formaldehyde And Azo Dyes.

In 2011, a total of 6513 batches of formaldehyde and azo dyes were detected in export textiles in Yiwu, Zhejiang, and 88 batches were rejected.

Formaldehyde was not qualified in the 32 batch, azobenzene dye failed 56 batches, excluding the 3 batch of azo dyestuffs failed, the remaining unqualified cases were found in the market procurement and export textile inspection, its exceeding standard situation was more prominent.

The main reasons for this situation are: some foreign customers are buying products in random market temporarily. They only ask for the style and specifications of textiles, and do not require the internal physical and chemical properties. In addition, when some foreign trade companies choose factories or suppliers, they do not seriously assess their quality control ability, and only use price as the selection standard.

At the same time, due to the price control of raw and auxiliary materials and the increase of workers' prices, some factories are using lower price fabrics, which results in exceeding standard.

Direct contact with formaldehyde can cause dermatitis, stains and necrosis.

Inhalation of a small amount of formaldehyde can cause chronic poisoning and other symptoms.

Some textiles containing azo dyes will react with human skin for a long time to form carcinogenic aromatic amine compounds and induce human diseases.

Therefore, the control of formaldehyde and banned azo dyes has become more and more stringent since the beginning of this year.

In this regard, the inspection and quarantine department reminds the foreign trade unit and relevant production enterprises: first, strictly check the procurement inspection; foreign trade enterprises should strictly check the procurement of textiles or production enterprises when purchasing fabrics; in the procurement process, they should make clear procurement requirements to the raw and auxiliary materials suppliers, ensure that the content of formaldehyde and banned azo dyes in the textile products meet the requirements; two, actively enhance their quality awareness, constantly improve the quality management level, grasp the standards of the importing countries, and do well in product quality control according to the requirements of the importing countries; three, strengthen communication and liaison with the inspection and quarantine department, and timely understand the latest technical regulations, standards and dynamic changes of foreign countries, and enhance the ability to deal with foreign technical trade measures.
