Leather Products Export To EU Should Strictly Guard Against Six Price Chromium Exceeding Standard.

< p > recently, a a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > shoes "/a" enterprise exported to Spain's leather safety boots in Yuyao, Ningbo was notified by the European Union that the product's six valent chromium exceeded the standard, and the material exceeded the leather cover.

The main reason for the investigation is that the quality of the leather supplied by the supplier has gone wrong with the upstream a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > leather < /a >.

< /p >

< p > according to statistics, since the beginning of this year, the EU's non food quick warning system (RAPEX) has issued 11 leather products bulletin, 10 of which are over six chromium content of leather material, 7 of which are footwear bulletin, and 3 are glove bulletin.

< p > six chromium is a very toxic substance that swallows and inhaled. It can invade human body through digestion, respiratory tract, skin and mucous membrane.

Skin contact can cause allergy. Once sensitization, the concentration of 3mg/kg is enough to trigger allergic reactions. It is more likely to cause genetic genetic defects. Inhalation may cause cancer and endanger the environment.

< /p >

< p > it is learnt that as early as December 2011, the European Commission for Standardization (CEN) adopted the new version of the standard ENISO20345:2011 for safety shoes, which stipulates that the content of six valent chromium does not exceed 3mg/kg, which has come into effect in June 2012.

In March 26, 2014, the European Commission issued an official communiqu to amend the annex 17 of the REACH code to expand the six valent chromium restriction order for leather products, which requires that the content of six valent chromium in leather products directly contact with human skin should not exceed 3mg/kg.

For leather products containing leather parts, the six valence chromium content of leather parts that are in contact with human body must not exceed 3mg/kg.

Those products that exceed the limit requirement are prohibited from placing on the market, and the affected products include footwear, < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < /a > a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > hat > _blank > wrist strap and toys.

The provision will be formally implemented in May 1, 2015.

< p > EU strengthens the control requirements of six valent chromium in leather and other products, which will have a greater impact on leather clothing manufacturing enterprises such as shoes and clothing. For this reason, the inspection and quarantine department recommends relevant enterprises: first, we must clarify the EU's requirements for the six valent chromium, set up the concept of green product production; two, strengthen the quality acceptance of raw materials and raw materials, and detect the six valent chromium content of leather raw materials.

Three, we must strictly monitor the storage and pportation environment of raw materials and finished products, and avoid trivalent chromium being oxidized to six valent chromium.

Four, we should speed up the introduction and development of new technologies and technologies and absorb the latest research results.
