Jiangyin's Textile And Garment Exports Must Strictly Abide By EU Environmental Standards

A few days ago, a number of Danish garments exported from a yarn dyed company in Jiangyin were returned because of the excessive disperse yellow dye 23.

According to reports, these fabrics were purchased by a clothing company in Dalian and used for making baseball jackets.

In accordance with the requirements of the Danish receiver, the purchaser stipulates that the products "need to meet the EU's environmental standards" in accordance with the requirements of the Danish receiver.

After receiving the order, the yarn dyed company did not pay attention to meet the requirements of the EU environmental standards, resulting in an allergy dye Disperse Yellow 23 to 54ppm, exceeding the EU eco textile label Eco-label set by no more than 50ppm requirements.

The diazo component of disperse yellow 23 is 4- amino azobenzene, which is carcinogenic. In 2002, the EU reconfirmed 4- amino azobenzene as a carcinogenic aromatic amine and banned dye.

The requirements of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 standard for Eco textiles are stipulated in the international environmental textile association.

Azo dyes, carcinogenic dyes and dyes that may cause allergies are not allowed to be decomposed into toxic aromatic amines.

At present, the European Union has become Jiangyin.

The second largest export market.

According to statistics of Jiangyin inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in the 1-4 month of this year, Jiangyin exported 2364 garments and 101 million US dollars to the European Union, and two indexes all ranked first in Jiangsu province.

In recent years, with the popularization of foreign trade knowledge, more and more

Enterprises attach great importance to azo dyes, lead content, flame retardancy and other indicators in line with the mandatory standards in Europe and the United States, but ignore the recommended requirements of eco-environmental protection.

The inspection and quarantine department reminds enterprises that European clothing should pay attention to relevant mandatory standards such as ecology, safety and environmental protection, while paying attention to relevant recommended standards.

When formulating a contract, we should have a detailed understanding of the recommended requirements of the importing country for products, and provide detailed requirements for the products to meet the requirements so as to avoid any violation of the regulations due to unclear statements.
