At the seminar, chairman of the Compliance Committee of the industrial association, Bei NIM, revealed that since March 29th, Japan officially announced that the textile does not use the specific azo dye self-discipline standard. Since then, Japanese media will widely report that Japan's Ministry of health and labour has officially started the legislative process, and in the near future, the Japanese textile industry self-discipline standard will be upgraded to law enforcement.
In recent years, the issue of product safety has been widely concerned by consumers.
Among the dyes used in textile dyeing, aromatic amines as part of the dye intermediates are regarded as unsafe substances in many countries, so hundreds of azo dyes containing this substance have been banned.
In order to keep the textile safety standards consistent with the international standard, the Japanese fiber industry alliance has formulated the self discipline standard of textiles without the use of azo dyes.
According to the statistics of the testing institutions, the average cost of azo dye detection for a garment is between 800 yuan and 1000 yuan RMB, and the detection cost of one batch may be as high as tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
Enterprises in all regions, especially those exporting more products to Japan, will not increase their export costs if they are not prepared for the self-discipline standards of textile industry in Japan.
Japanese textiles do not use specific azo dyes for self-discipline standards for more than 2 years.
In order to help China's textile export enterprises to better cope with it, the China Textile Industry Federation and the Japanese side have repeatedly negotiated and finally reached a consensus. Through the cooperation of both sides, the white list management system has been established and the whitelist qualification for the Japanese market has been implemented.
According to Zhang Xicheng, Department of information statistics of the China Federation of textile industry, the white list management system is divided into white list qualification certification and white list registration system.
Chinese enterprises get white list qualifications or products are produced in enterprises with white list qualifications. When they export to Japan, they do not need to detect specific azo dyes.
Xia Lingmin, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said that the establishment of the white list management system can not only reduce the testing cost of enterprises, protect the supply chain, but also is a pparent and shared information mechanism, which provides more choices and more business opportunities for enterprises, is conducive to the overall optimization of the supply chain system and the improvement of product quality, and is conducive to ensuring the smooth progress of Sino Japanese textile trade.
According to Zhang Xicheng, the ban on aromatic amines has become a basic environmental standard. The Japanese industry self-discipline standard involves 22 kinds of aromatic amine substances.
In 2003, the national basic safety technical specification for textile products GB18401-2003 was introduced in China and implemented in January 1, 2005. All the textiles sold in China are required to carry out the standard.
China's GB18401-2003 has involved 23 kinds of aromatic amine substances, which has increased 4- 2, two methyl aniline and 2,6- two methylaniline 2 than the Japanese industry self-regulation standard, reducing 4- 1 amino azobenzene 1.
In the Japanese industry self-discipline standard, the 4- amine azobenzene is limited to the banned aromatic amine substances, which is not available in Chinese GB18401-2003, but only in the GB18401-2010 version.

market
From the feedback, 4- amino azobenzene is found to be a relatively large number of banned substances.
Therefore, although China's GB18401 requirements for textile safety are stricter than those of Japan's domestic textile standards, the Japanese export enterprises still need to attach great importance to it. By obtaining the white list qualification, the export products meet the requirements of the Japanese market for textile safety.
After the declaration of "white list qualifications" began, domestic printing and dyeing enterprises responded positively.
At present, 24 enterprises have obtained the whitelist qualification certificate.
Ni Aihong, a technology research and Development Center at Rutai textile Limited by Share Ltd, said that in April of last year, enterprises declared "white list qualifications" and sent relevant materials in time. "Japan is a foreign trade market valued by Lu Taiji.
"White list qualification" is conducive to the long-term development of enterprises.
She said.
According to Okuda Leeji, member of Japan's fiber import and Export Trading Committee, the white list management system has also been highly praised by Japanese clothing companies and retailers.

Businesses such as Ito, Yang Hua Tang and Yong Wang even regard it as a textile ecological standard similar to that of Oeko-Tex100.
In March last year, large retailers such as Ito, Yang Hua Tang and Yong Wang completed the revision of the procurement contract in accordance with the Japanese industry self-discipline standard.
At present, some domestic enterprises have also received notice from Japanese Importers to provide proof of no banned aromatic amines in textiles.
