World clothing shoes and hats,

The latest version of Oeko-TexStandard100 eco textile testing standard and limit requirement was released.

After 3 months of pition, the new standard will come into effect on April 1, 2018.

The new standards refer to various international laws and regulations, and add strict supervision to hazardous chemicals in textiles by adding new substances and strictly controlling the limited value.

There are five major changes in the latest standards.

According to the industry, the latest standards for the regulation of hazardous chemicals are further upgraded. There are five major changes. First, some of the existing restricted chemical limits are tightened further. For example, the limit value of product grade I is adjusted from 50mg/kg to 10mg/kg for the ortho phenyl phenol, and the limited value of product grade II to IV is adjusted from 100mg/kg to 25mg/kg, and the maximum tightening level is reduced by 5 times.

Two, new restrictions on chemical substances have increased. New standard "other residual chemicals" project, added phenol, bisphenol A and limit value standards, and added "monitored" substance quinoline, which means that when enterprises apply for Eco textile certification process, will be randomly checked quinoline.

Three, the restricted range of similar chemicals is expanded, such as the limit values of alkylphenol and alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, though they remain unchanged, the species of phenol extend to heptane phenol, branched chain and amylose and amylophenol. The limits of carcinogenic dyes have increased to 18 species, increasing by 5 species. The category of "sensitizing dyes" has increased by 1 species, reaching 22 species.

Four, the textile color fastness index is in line with China. In the new eco standard, the color fastness requirement of product category I is increased from the original grade 3 to 3 to 4, which is exactly the same as the mandatory safety standard "GB18401 2010 national textile product basic safety technical specification" for infants and young children.

Five, for organic cotton products to increase genetically modified organisms testing, organic cotton is more than two or three times the comprehensive cost of ordinary cotton. Because organic cotton does not use genetically modified seeds, the new standard will increase the detection of genetically modified organisms (CMO) for organic cotton products.

Emphasizing ecological safety has become a new trend.

It is reported that "Oeko-Tex" is the current global

Recognized by the authoritative eco textile standard, the product certified by this certification will be identified as "confidence textiles".

As the standard continues to refer to the latest laws, regulations and standards required by different countries and organizations in the textile field every year and is revised in time, many Oeko-Tex Standard100 standards are used as the technical basis for product procurement in many large European and American purchasers.

The eco textile market with Oeko-TexStandard100 certificate has obvious market advantages, not only sells smoothly, but also costs 20%-30% higher than ordinary textiles, emphasizing that the ecological safety of products has become a new trend of international textile trade.

The head of the inspection and quarantine department suggests that textile enterprises should keep abreast of the latest Oeko-Tex Standard100 standard requirements, improve production processes as soon as possible, strengthen product ecological safety checks, make preparations for the rainy day, keep pace with the international pace, and hope that textile enterprises will actively enhance their recognition in the international market through active certification.
