A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Ninghai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that the latest version of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX product certification test issued by the International Environmental Textile Association (Oeko-Tex), the three-month transition period is coming to an end, on April 1, 2018 Effective from the date. The new version of the 2018 version updates the testing standards and limit values ​​of the original product certification.
It is understood that the latest version of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX product testing standard adds new substances to the "Other Residual Chemicals" project, and the limit value requirements are more stringent. For example, other chemical residues have added bisphenol A, aromatic amine aniline and limited amounts. Value standards; quinoline and phenol will be "monitored"; amyl and heptyl phenol are included in the "Residual Surfactant Wetting Agent" item, and the limits for alkylphenols and alkylphenol ethoxylates remain unchanged. At the same time, the new standard also increased the detection of azo dyes and the identification of transgenic (GMO) components in organic cotton products, and significantly tightened the short-chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) and o-phenylphenol (OPP) limit value indicators. Product grade I (color fastness to water in textiles used by infants and children under 3 years of age is increased from the previous “Level 3†to “Level 3-4â€.
The company that exports textile and apparel products through the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certification can simplify and accelerate the process of providing customers with a healthy and harmless proof of their textiles, and quickly improve the competitiveness of their products. In view of the positive role of the Oeko-Tex standard certification in providing eco-safety products and meeting the needs of consumers for healthy living, although the certification is still a voluntary certification system, many large buyers in Europe and the United States currently purchase the Oeko-Tex standard as a product. Based on the technical basis, the eco-textile market with the Oeko-Tex certificate has obvious advantages. The Oeko-Tex standard certification can effectively avoid trade barriers between the EU and North America and help China's manufacturing to successfully land in the high-end market in Europe and America.
Nowadays, people are increasingly aware of environmental protection in their daily lives. Among them, the safety and environmental protection of textile consumption is increasing, and environmental textile certification continues to heat up. However, there are frequent Oeko-Tex standard updates, difficult certification, and certification fees. Higher problems.
According to the staff of Ninghai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, at present, in addition to clothing products, the products of our county are widely used in textile fabrics, such as shower curtain tents, sports stick buckles, children's leisure products, etc. The cost of Oeko-Tex testing and certification is more than 100,000 yuan. After the standard update, it is necessary to re-test. If you fail to pass the test, you must select the qualified raw material supplier and replace the process formula. It is annoying, and you are afraid of losing the market.
To this end, the inspection and quarantine department reminds relevant enterprises that if they want to successfully enter the developed country market through Oeko-Tex testing and certification, they need to raise their awareness of textile safety, pay attention to understanding the new standards released by Oeko-Tex every year, and self-check the production raw material supply chain and Process control, establish perfect product quality standards, strengthen product ecological safety and quality control, avoid losses caused by technical barriers; at the same time actively participate in various standard certifications to obtain international market permits, improve product added value and technical content.
