The International Market Is Increasingly Concerned About The Safety Of Textiles And Clothing

Since recently at Shaoxing, Zhejiang At the 2012 Eco textile and Dyeing and Chemical Materials Quality Safety Technology Seminar, it was learned that, with the increasing concern of the international market for the safety of textiles and clothing, more and more domestic enterprises are constantly strengthening their awareness of textiles clothing Safety control of dyes and chemicals used in the production process, additives and toxic and harmful substance residues in finished products. At the same time, energy-saving, low-carbon and low energy consumption production processes will also become an inevitable trend.

According to statistics, in 2011, Oeko Tex International Environmental Textile Association issued Oeko Tex Standard 100 certification to enterprises in 48 countries/regions around the world. 43% of the certified enterprises are from Europe 56% are Asian enterprises. Among them, Chinese enterprises obtained 2093 Oeko Tex Standard 100 certificates in 2011, ranking first in Asia. Turkey has 799, India has 648, and Bangladesh has grown rapidly, with 533 certificates. In addition, 531 in Hong Kong, China, 350 in Pakistan, 340 in Japan, and 216 in Taiwan are all at a high level of certification. In order to ensure that the quality of certified products continues to meet strict certification standards, TESTEX, the official representative organization of Oeko Tex International Environmental Protection Textile Association, has strengthened the quality monitoring and sampling inspection of Oeko Tex certified products this year, expanding the proportion of products to 20% from 15% of the certified products in the whole year. The sampling results show that the unqualified rate of product color fastness is the most common, including: salivary color fastness, sweat color fastness, rubbing color fastness and other indicators. Through strengthening the sampling inspection and supervision of enterprises, remind enterprises to strengthen the control and testing of relevant quality.

At the seminar, some insiders pointed out that with the EU's legislation announcing the imposition of aviation carbon emission tax on all inbound airlines in 2012, the international market is likely to set more stringent and demanding requirements on energy consumption and environmental protection in the process of industrial product trade in the future, requiring manufacturers to pay more attention to energy consumption Water resource consumption, carbon emissions, carbon footprint and other quantitative indicators will be provided, and producers of substandard products will be required to purchase carbon taxes. Although this trend is still far from reality spin It is imperative to develop the production process towards a more efficient, energy-saving, environmental friendly and low-carbon emission trend.
