The EU Will Ban Six Price Chromium From Leather Products From May 1St Next Year.

< p > recently, it was reported that the "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_cj.as "EU" /a "will be banned from the six price chromium over standard leather products from May 1st next year.

So, does this ban affect the footwear export enterprises in Taizhou? < /p >

The "P" reporter learned from the municipal entry and exit inspection and quarantine bureau that the ban was issued by the European Commission. The six price chromium content of leather products directly exposed to the skin in the market is restricted.

According to the regulations, textile and leather goods and leather articles with skin contact should not be sold in the EU market if the six valence chromium content exceeds 3mg/kg.

The relevant person in charge of the branch of the Bureau of inspection and Quarantine said that the six valent chromium is swallowed or inhaled poison, which can invade the human body through respiratory tract, skin and mucous membrane.

The concentration of 3mg/kg is enough to cause allergic reactions. Once sensitized, it may cause genetic defects in the human body.

< p > "footwear is the largest export industry in Taizhou, with an annual export volume of US $about 1500000000, while the six price chromium content exceeding the standard is one of the common unqualified factors of footwear products."

The responsible person said that last year, they detected 265 batches of six valent chromium in leather, and 61 batches of the results exceeded the standard. The rejection rate was as high as 23%, and the six price chromium content of some products even exceeded 100mg/kg, and the product quality risk was higher.

< p > for this reason, the person in charge reminded Taizhou footwear export enterprises to strengthen the quality control of raw materials, especially the detection of six valent chromium content.

"Trivalent chromium in raw materials and finished products will be changed to six valence chromium by environmental impact in < a href=" http://sjfzxm.com//business/ "> /a > pportation and storage. This is particularly important.

In June 27, 2008, the European Union directive on the sale and use of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS directive) came into effect.

It is requested that the content of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in the finished products sold in the EU market should not exceed 0.005% of the total quality.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has the characteristics of oil repellency and hydrophobicity. It was used to produce surface antifouling agents such as textiles, leather products, furniture and carpet.

The European Union officially banned the use of PFOS in commodities, and the export enterprises of China's textile and leather products were deeply affected.

Earlier, France, Belgium and Spain issued the DMF ban in early 2009.

Recently, the German Federal Ministry of food, agriculture and consumer protection issued a circular saying that because chromate is one of the most important allergens, the law stipulates that leather products that are in contact with human body are only allowed to be processed in the final product without chromate detection.
