Inventory Analysis Of The Latest Regulations Of The International Textile Industry (8.21)

< p > < strong > Norway will completely limit the PFOA content of consumer goods < /strong > a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > strong > textile > /strong > < > > < > > the content of coating should not exceed 1 micrograms per square meter.

< p > Norway State Environmental Protection Bureau announced that Norway will restrict perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts and esters in consumer products, and will be implemented in June 1, 2014.

Experts warn that the range of perfluorooctanoic acid issued by Norway is large, involving many consumer products including < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > textile > /a > and so on. Although there is still a period of time when the ban comes into effect, enterprises should be prepared as soon as possible.

According to the product attributes, the regulations mainly contain the following three contents: first, for general consumer goods, the content of perfluorooctanoic acid is not more than 0.1%; the effective date is June 1, 2014; two, the content of perfluorooctanoic acid can not exceed 1 micrograms per square meter for textiles, carpets and surface coated consumer goods, the effective date is June 1, 2014; three is pure substances and mixtures, and the content of perfluorooctanoic acid should be less than 10 mg / kg.

< /p >

< p > perfluorooctanoic acid is mainly used in surfactant, emulsifier and so on, and is applied to a series of consumer products.

It can be used to make fluoropolymer for carpet and other textiles to make it waterproof and antifouling. It can also be used to make floor wax, wax paper and insulators in wires.

But recent studies have also found that perfluorooctanoic acid is a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substance that damages human nervous system, immune system and reproductive system in varying degrees.

Therefore, due to health considerations, countries have taken measures to introduce perfluorooctanoic acid restriction order.

Canada issued a regulatory proposal to increase the production of perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts to an effective exclusion list in 2008, and took action to voluntarily halt the production of perfluorooctanoic acid and control its use and release. In 2010, the United States also requested a 95% reduction in the amount of perfluorooctanoic acid, and plans to ban the substance in 2015.

< /p >

< p > the entry exit inspection and quarantine department reminds export enterprises that although the ban is not yet in force, enterprises should strengthen understanding and concern about relevant information, improve product quality management system, strictly control the content of perfluorooctanoic acid in export products, and actively guard against export risks.

< p > strong > EU will restrict the nonylphenol < /strong > /p > in textiles.

< p > < strong > textiles should not contain more than 0.1% nonylphenol or its mixture < /strong > < /p >.

< p > recently, according to the latest news released by the European chemical administration, Sweden submitted a new proposal on the limitation of nonylphenol (straight chain and branched chain) and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene (straight chain and branched chain) (REACH code annex XVII proposal).

< /p >

< p > July 2012, Germany proposed that nonylphenol should be included in the REACH regulations with high regard for the list of substances. In December 2012, nonylphenol was found in the eighth batch of highly concerned substances list, and was defined as potentially harmful to the environment.

< /p >

Below P, Sweden proposed that nonylphenol should be included in the list of restricted substances, limiting the market of < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a >, a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > textile accessories < /a > and indoor textiles, etc. it is possible to wash the products of nonylphenol into water by washing, stipulate that it should not contain more than or equal to 0.1% nonylphenol (straight chain and branched chain) and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (straight chain and branched chain) or its mixture.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) are used as surfactants in the textile industry and are widely used in printing and dyeing and washing processes.

There is evidence that nonylphenol is endocrine disrupting chemicals. It is recognized as an environmental hormone in the world. It can cause persistent toxicity to aquatic environment. Even though the concentration of this substance is very low, it is also very harmful.

Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether can be rapidly decomposed into nonylphenol once released into the environment.

< /p >

< p > inspection and quarantine experts say that once the proposal of Sweden is approved, the nonylphenol in < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > textile > /a > will be upgraded from the existing principle of reporting and archival filing to a restricted regulation in the EU market.

< /p >

< p > > therefore, enterprises should pay close attention to the approval results and progress of the proposal of the European Chemicals authority, improve the production process in time, increase the intensity of product sampling inspection, improve the printing and dyeing process and wash process, control the residue of nonylphenol in the standard range, pay attention to the world's authoritative laws and regulations in the world, treat all kinds of harmful substances with a long view, actively explore and develop more environmentally friendly and healthy production processes, and try to choose nonpolluting or less polluting nonylphenol alternatives in the production process, so as to avoid using the environmental pollution elements which have been banned or restricted by developed countries in the production process.

< p > < strong > the United States will draw up a new regulation for clothing nursing labels < /strong > < /p >

< p > according to the Iran daily report, from the beginning of March 21st, the first 4 months of the new year of Persian new year in Iran, a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > export textiles < /a > US $221 million 100 thousand.

The report shows that during this period, Iran's fiber, fabrics, clothing, woven carpet and yarn exports are at a high level.

On the import side, Iran imported 379 million 700 thousand US dollars of textiles, down 6.65% from the same period last year.

For textile manufactures, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > yarn > /a > fiber material accounts for 77% of total imports.

The report also said that in the same period, Iran imported 15 thousand and 581 tons of cotton fiber, amounting to 38 million dollars, and imported garments 106.7 tons, amounting to 937 thousand dollars.

In addition, imports of textile machinery amounted to US $37 million 200 thousand.
