EU ban on the use of two methyl fumarate

In December 16, 2008, the AQSIQ issued the No. fourth risk warning notice in 2008, pointing out that the European Commission's non food quick warning system issued a consumer warning to a slanting sofa produced by a Chinese company.

Because the sofa uses DMF containing mould inhibitor, it causes the risk of skin allergy.

France signed a decree in December 4, 2008 that prohibits the import and marketing of seats and footwear products containing DMF, and requires that all products and packages contain DMF seats and footwear that can be recovered.

Belgium also issued a decree prohibiting the import and marketing of all articles and products containing DMF.

Spain has issued measures to prohibit the application of DMF in all consumer goods that can be exposed to the skin.

EU resolution controls a wide range of products, including all products in the EU market, so the resolution will have an impact on the export industry.

At the same time, EU regulation is very strict: prohibit the sale or sale of products containing DMF, and recall the content of DMF products that have been put on the market or sold in the market, and its content is restricted to 0.1mg/kg.

Therefore, the export enterprises should pay close attention to ensure that the export products comply with the EU DMF ban requirements, so as to avoid losses.
