Attention Should Be Paid To The New EU Directive On Textile Names.

A few days ago, the EU issued directive No. 2008/121/EC to revise the directive No. 96/74/EC on textile names, and put forward new and higher requirements for textile fiber names, textile label contents and other markings in three aspects. It is understood that the names of textiles, fiber components and labels are not in conformity with the contents of the labels, and the labels are not obvious or ambiguous. Producers are not listed as unqualified in the relevant documents. The new directive also made specific quantitative requirements for fiber types and their contents, which are important indicators of textile quality. In the future, except for textiles made entirely of same fiber, other products should not abuse the words "100%", "pure" and "full". In addition, one of the textiles containing more than 85% of the total weight must be specified in three ways as follows: the name of the main fiber, the proportion of total weight, the name of the main fiber and the word "at least 85%", or the proportion of the fibers contained in the product. Containing a variety of fibers, but not a total weight of 85%, the product must be marked with at least two main fiber names and their ratios, and the names of other fibers should be listed from a large to a small scale. A kind of In accordance with the new regulations of the European Union, the inspection and Quarantine Department reminded the relevant enterprises to seriously interpret the new EU regulations, focus on the major changes in the new version of the directive, consult with the local inspection and quarantine authorities before production or export, specify the fiber content and type according to the regulations, use the standard terms and names specified in the order, avoid improper use, and actively consult with the EU importers. Conduct effective communication and work together to find solutions to problems so as to ensure smooth delivery of European textiles. Wang Xiaonan: editor in charge
