The New Version Of "Eco Environmental Protection Textile Standard" Issued More Stringent Supervision Of Perfluorooctanoic Acid.

< p > recently, < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > International Environmental Protection Textile Association < /a > OEKO-TEX announced the 2014 edition OEKO-TEX Standard 100 eco environmental textiles testing standards and limit values.

The same as in previous years, the latest a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > Standard < /a > and the limit value will still have a 3 month pitional period at the beginning of the year, which will take effect from April 1, 2014.

The new standard will be more stringent for the regulation of perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA. Meanwhile, 4 long chain perfluorinated compounds will be added to the new standard catalogue, with the same limit as perfluorooctanoic acid.

The release of the new standards shows that the international environmental protection textile association has fully supported the "zero emission ZDHC" initiative launched by Europe, actively supporting and assisting global brand dealers and retailers to eliminate harmful chemicals completely in the entire production link by 2020.

< p > according to the introduction of Beijing Textile Inspection Co., Ltd., the official representative office of OEKO-TEX international environmental textile association in China, TESTEX's tex TESTEX, the content of a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > perfluorooctanoic acid < /a > in the 4 grades of textiles will not exceed the following limit values: the first level is 50 g/kg g/kg, that is 0.05mg/kg, the 2013 edition is 0.10mg/kg; the second level is 100 micron g/kg, that is, the 2013 edition limited value is third; the third level is 100 mu, that is, 2013, the limited edition is 2013; fourth level is 500 mu, that is, the limit value of the 500 edition is 0.

< /p >

< p > 4 long chain perfluorinated compounds will be added to the new standard catalogue. The limit value is the same as that of perfluorooctanoic acid.

The 4 compounds are perfluorinated eleven alkanes CAS 2058-94-8, perfluoroalkanic acid CAS 307-55-1, perfluorinated thirteen acid CAS 72629-94-8 and perfluorinated fourteen acid CAS 376-06-7, respectively. The above mentioned compounds are eleven.

Since the 4 compounds have been included in the REACH list of highly concerned substances list SVHC by the European Chemicals authority ECHA, the international environmental textile association has immediately included it in the investigation area of hazardous substances.

< /p >

In the < p > new standard, all perfluorinated compounds PFCs investigated by OEKO-TEX will be listed separately as a kind of material and no longer be classified as "other residual chemicals".

For alkylphenol ethoxylate APEOs, the test will extend to 1-20 of ethoxylate chain.

Nonylphenol NP, octyl phenol OP, nonylphenol ethoxylate NPEO and octyl phenol polyoxyethylene ether OPEO content in all product levels will be more stringent: nonylphenol NP and octyl phenol OP total less than 10mg/kg2013 version 50mg/kg, nonylphenol NP, nonylphenol ethoxylate NPEO 1-20, octyl phenol OP and octyl phenol polyoxyethylene ether 1-20 total is less than the plate limit value.

< /p >

< p > by reducing the < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > limit > /a >, the international environmental textile association has taken actions to eliminate the nonylphenol NP, octylphenol OP and alkylphenol ethoxylated APEO in textile production. This has become a positive action for the whole industry to promote "zero emissions of harmful chemicals" ZDHC.

OEKO-TEX's important component of the certification of the international environmental textile association and the implementation of the global uniform on-site audit will also promote all enterprises involved in OEKO-TEX certification to raise awareness of the harmful substances in the environment, and constantly reduce or even eliminate the use of such chemicals.

< /p >

< p > as the expansion of pentachlorophenol PCP and four chlorophenol TeCP, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification will increase the detection of three chlorophenol TrCP.

The pesticide can be listed as a banned pesticide list. Some European Union countries have banned this substance.

In addition, the 7 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the investigated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were individually prescribed clear limits.

The total content limit of 24 PAHs remained unchanged at all product levels.

< /p >

< p > in the annex XVII of the European Union's REACH code, which was promulgated in December last year and will be implemented in December 27, 2015, the a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon < /a > compounds have been listed. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 will soon start the monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the 2014 Edition standard, reflecting the leading position of OEKO-TEX Standard 100 in the field of textiles and accessories testing.

< /p >

< p > plasticizer, two phthalate two CAS, 84777-06-0, will be added to the chain and chain of the inspection substance, making it more complete.

< /p >

< p > the requirement for the limit of 3% of the residual solvents investigated in specific products will be extended to the 1- methyl -2- pyrrolidone NMP substance, which is only applicable to the dyed fibers in the spinning raw liquid of PPE for personal protective products.

< /p >

< p > it is learnt that the ISPO BEIJING Asian sporting goods and fashion show, which will be held in late February, will enhance the promotion of the new version of the TESTEX standard.

At the TESTEX annual meeting of enterprises in Beijing in from March 27th to 28th, the company invited the Secretary General of the International Association of environmental textiles to interpret the latest changes in the new standards and their impact on enterprises, help enterprises understand the new standards in an all-round way, solve practical problems in certification and production, and provide an exchange platform for enterprises.
