With the intensification of trade protectionism, especially in the developed countries, more and more attention has been paid to environmental protection and safety performance. Since last year, the relevant standards of new launch or upgrading have become more and more.

Trade barrier

The mainstream.

Recall measures are frequently used in Europe and the United States

In the first quarter of this year, the European Commission's non food quick warning system (RAPEX) announced 589 serious risk consumer goods recall announces, an increase of 28.9% over the same period.

There were 380 items of products exported to China (excluding Taiwan and Hongkong), with an increase of 42.3%, of which 103 were textiles and clothing, 1.1 times higher than the same period last year.

Over the same period, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued 101 recall notifications, an increase of 3.1% over the same period, covering 55 items in mainland China, including 14 textile and apparel items, an increase of 16.7% over the same period last year.

The European Union and the United States were recalled.

textile

Clothing products are mainly children's clothing and shoes, but also include some sportswear and clothing.

The main reason for the announcement is similar to that of last year. There is stifling danger (excessive length of rope for children's tops and caps), chemical hazards (two methyl fumarate and azo dyes detected), risk of injury (the waist length of children's clothing is over standard) and flame retardant standards.

New standards are numerous.

Since 2009, various countries in the world have introduced various kinds of products.

New standard

Or to supplement, amend or alter the original standards.

For example, the Japanese version of the REACH system to be implemented in 2010; the United States fur Labeling Act; the EU's revision of the 2010 edition of Oeko-Tex100; the establishment of an expert group in India to set up environmental compliance standards and import standards for leather, textile and toy industries; Vietnam promulgated the National Technical regulations on toy safety; Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan will establish a customs union; it is expected to upgrade the tariff rate before 2013 to protect the interests of the industry; Saudi Arabia and Italy customs have issued mandatory rules for the origin of textiles, footwear and leather products.

Although WTO and other international organizations have also introduced a series of measures to coordinate the relevant standards of countries, we must remind textile and garment export enterprises:

1, understand the market requirements in detail, organize production in strict accordance with the standard requirements, or provide relevant certificates, and effectively improve the level of production management.

2, pay attention to avoid risks when signing contracts with customers, do not accept defective designs, avoid claims for return.

3, we should strengthen the safety examination of product design and development, enhance the ability of self-examination and self-control, and effectively avoid risks.
