"Green Barriers" Make Wenzhou Shoes And Clothing Exports Worse.

"Once clothes arrive at the other end of the pier, they are fastened by customs, and the clothing of the entire container will become visible and invisible to the market."

Recently, I was worried about the recent implementation of the PFOS directive in the export business of our wife garment factory.

In October 24, 2006, the European Parliament formally passed a resolution stipulates that the content of perfluorooctane sulfonyl acyl compounds (PFOS) in finished products in the EU market should not exceed 0 of the quality.

005%, which marks the EU's total ban on the use of PFOS in commodities, and the EU has built a "green barrier".

In June 27th this year, the directive was formally implemented.

Guo Xiansu, chairman of Li Feng dyeing and printing Limited company, said that PFOS is widely used, especially in the textile industry. Any textile that needs printing and dyeing and finishing must be washed before processing. In addition, the auxiliaries used for functional finishing such as UV and antibacterial may also contain PFOS.

For our garment export enterprises, in recent years, they are struggling to cope with adverse effects such as the detection of harmful substances such as EU harmful azo dyes, the appreciation of the renminbi and the decline in the tax rebate.

The implementation of the PFOS directive will undoubtedly add to the burden.

There was no test standard in China. When the directive was put forward last year, the Wenzhou clothing chamber of Commerce Foreign Trade Branch organized several member enterprises to discuss the countermeasures.

As a result, it is found that it is almost impossible to accomplish at present: the domestic related testing department has no testing standard, and the substitute product is difficult to find, and it will greatly increase the cost.

"Nevertheless, when the products are abroad, once they are found to be unqualified, they will be detained, which will cause greater losses to the enterprises," said Wu Yiheng, Secretary General of the foreign trade branch.

Zhu Yali, general manager of Wenzhou Jinou Clothing Co., Ltd., recently went to Shanghai to find international certification authority SGS standard company, and asked for PFOS testing.

But it was told that the company had no such test target.

Our city's quality and technology supervision and inspection yard, the entry and exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau responsible person admitted that there is no such inspection standard, and even no testing methods.

Erwin, director of the light industry products inspection institute of Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and Inspection Institute, said that for such a new standard, Dujiangyan, even the inspection method abroad, is confidential.

Therefore, it is very difficult to cope with it.

Answer: looking for replacement products, prudent suppliers, at present, Zhu Yali is actively looking for alternatives (not yet found).

She said that in the absence of testing standards, they could only check on their own. Once they found the right substitute, they signed a contract with the fabric supplier to control the source of pollution.

The head of the textile and light administration of Wenzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that powerful textile enterprises could speed up the upgrading of PFOS R & D and production technology and improve the environmental protection of products.

Small and medium-sized enterprises should choose suppliers rationally, and make textile printing and dyeing enterprises that meet the environmental protection requirements as long-term suppliers.

At the same time.

We should communicate with European LV merchants as soon as possible and intensify the selection, testing and application of alternative products, so as to reduce the losses caused by the implementation of instructions.

The relevant departments should intensify the collection of technical standards, organize the research and response of the strength, and strengthen the research of detection methods.
