The Development Of Clothing Safety Direction By REACH Regulations

　　 South German group experts said in the analysis: REACH It is a complicated law. If the enterprises exporting to the EU fail to meet the requirements of the regulation, they may have serious consequences.

However, manufacturers and importers should follow the guidance of experts and understand the REACH regulations step by step, so it will be much easier for enterprises to conform to the REACH plan / method / method.

In November 2009, a European Union rapid alert system (RAPEX) set up for non food products reported a case. A group of Chinese made underpants were found to contain higher content of aminobenzobenzene contained in the new EU chemical regulations (REACH). As a result, the importer automatically recalled the products from the consumers and put them off the market in Germany and Austria.

Because of the high cost performance of azo dyes and pigments, they are often used. dyeing Natural and artificial materials. However, aromatic amines dispersed from these dyes and pigments can cause cancer. P-aminobenzene is a harmful chemical released by these dyes and pigments.

This product was recalled more than this incident. The report shows that many European retailers, importers and their upstream suppliers do not know much about REACH regulations and their obligations. The above case illustrates that ignoring REACH regulations will cause enterprises to suffer losses and damage brands.

　　 REACH The regulations replace and modify the 40 EU chemicals directive, creating a single and harmonious framework for EU chemicals management. In order to protect human health and environment from the negative effects of chemicals, REACH controls quality control of consumer goods such as fabrics, clothing, shoes and other textiles. This regulation is applied to 27 European Union countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Each country has issued a series of punishment measures to meet the requirements of violation of the REACH directive (see the REACH regulations below). The punishment measures vary from country to country. Some countries not only impose fines on them, but also face serious jail conditions.

Apart from punishing measures, once the news is public, the brand will also be damaged. Section second of section REACH of regulation thirty-third shows that consumers have the right to ask suppliers to provide relevant information about harmful chemicals contained in their products. This right is widely used by non-governmental organizations, and the results are also given to outside communiques. REACH puts the responsibility of chemical safety on the manufacturers and importers of the European Union. If you are a manufacturer or importer of the European Union, the meaning of the REACH regulation is that if you do not comply with the requirements set forth in the REACH regulations, you need to bear legal liability, not your upstream suppliers from non EU countries.

The REACH regulation states that REACH regulations represent the registration, evaluation, restriction and authorization of chemicals. This is the four key step of this directive, and the whole process is supervised by ECHA.
