Vietnam Leather And Footwear Association Announces Product Quality And Safety Plan

< p > > a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/" > Vietnam leather > /a > and shoe industry association, in order to improve the production standard of the products, announced the plan to establish product quality and safety standards. The aim is to provide producers with a basis for producing more quality products and create a fair competition environment for domestic and foreign distributors. < /p >
PhanThiThanhXuan, Secretary General of Vietnam leather and Footwear Association, told industry trade that although Vietnam's leather industry and a href= "http:// www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > footwear industry /a < p still rely heavily on imports of raw materials, there has been no set of standards to control the use of dangerous chemicals. According to the Vietnam leather and Footwear Association, the industry produces 22 to 250 thousand metric tons of leather annually, of which 100 thousand metric tons come from domestic manufacturers. Only a few testing centers in Vietnam can be used for leather and footwear manufacturers to inspect imported raw materials. As a result, some footwear enterprises have to check the quality of raw materials and products to meet the requirements of the buyers. NguyenBichThuy, a representative of ThuongDinh shoe manufacturing Co., said that before they could produce large orders, they would send their samples abroad for testing. If the test result dissatisfied the customers, the company would replace the new raw materials. < /p >
P, another representative from the leather goods trading service company, said they spent $10 thousand annually on raw material testing. However, at present, Vietnam's leather and footwear products will not be faced with such problems. NguyenDinhHiep, head of the Ministry of science and technology development of Vietnam's Ministry of industry and trade, said that most of Vietnam's "a href=" http:// "www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > leather and footwear "/a" were contracted to foreign-funded enterprises, so the products produced should meet the requirements of international standards. He also stressed that it is necessary for Vietnam to implement a set of quality inspection standards or technical barriers to trade so as to better control imported goods and raw materials. < /p >
P Vietnam has taken part in major trade agreements on zero tariffs on products, which will bring greater challenges to domestic producers, even if they will lose some domestic market share. < /p >
Since 2007, the European Union has registered, assessed, authorized and restricted the management of chemical substances to improve the protection of human health and the environmental hazards caused by chemicals. P This measure also enhances the competitiveness of the EU's chemical industry. Of course, it is very important to set up such a quality inspection standard in Vietnam to test local enterprises, and also test the market adaptability of these enterprises. < /p >
P, Vietnam's leather and footwear exports led Vietnam's export industry, and Vietnam's leather and footwear exports increased from $about 4700000000 in 2008 to $9 billion 600 million this year. < /p >
