New Regulations On Textile Exports

Textile is an important export industry in our city.

According to the latest statistics from Ningbo customs, the total export of textiles and garments and yarns in Ningbo in 2018 amounted to 90 billion 369 million yuan, up 6% over the previous year.

In the context of the warmer market demand, the international market of textile exports still faces great challenges.

In January 2nd, the international textile and Environmental Protection Association issued the 2019 edition of STANDARD 100 eco environmental friendly textile product certification standard. The new standard has added a challenge to the textile export of our city.

It is understood that the STANDARD100 eco environmental protection textile product certification standard is currently recognized by the global textile industry as an authoritative eco textile standard. Many European and American high quality buyers have adopted the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 standard as the technical basis for product procurement.

According to the Ningbo Customs responsible person, the new version of the eco textile standard, on the one hand will be involved in benzene, quinoline, ammonium salt, selenium, glyphosate and metal barium, a variety of highly concerned substances included in the monitoring area, on the other hand, including two phthalate esters (Plasticizer), perfluorinated and fluorinated compounds were more stringent value limits.

"In recent years, the demand for residues in export textiles has been stricter and stricter in the international market. The introduction of the new eco textile standard has put forward new requirements for the production process and quality supervision of China's textile export enterprises."

The person in charge said.

It is learnt that the new eco textile standard will come into force in April 1, 2019 after the 3 month pition period. The Ningbo customs appeals to textile export enterprises to attach great importance to it. We should pay attention to and grasp domestic and foreign technical regulations and standards in the whole production chain, strictly carry out production and self-examination in strict accordance with the requirements of corresponding regulations and standards. At the same time, we should strengthen the control of potential harmful substances, and entrust qualified laboratories for testing, so as to ensure that the products contain strict standards.
