As we all know, the textile industry is the first largest household to earn foreign exchange in China, and the European market is an important market for China's textile exports. However, the frequent product recall has made many textile enterprises in a difficult position.

according to

Ministry of Commerce

The latest figures show that in 2009, the total value of imports of textiles and raw materials from the 27 countries of the European Union decreased by 6.2% compared with the same period last year, but still reached 42 billion 832 million US dollars. China has become the largest source country of imported textiles and raw materials from the 27 countries of the European Union, and the amount of textiles and raw materials imported from China accounts for 41.1% of the total imports of the EU.

The European market, which occupies such an important position in the import and export of textiles, has repeatedly issued a recall signal, which has really brought a "disgusting" encounter to Chinese textiles.

The first half of the second half of the recall of the "secret" month

In January, a total of 37 textile products were recalled in Europe, mainly in children's clothing. The members were mainly Bulgaria, and China accounted for 14 of the 37 incidents.

The main reason for the recall was concentrated on the risk of strangulation.

In February, the EU asked for 67 textile products recalled, focusing on children's clothing and scarves. The members were mainly Bulgaria,

Greece

In Germany and Cyprus, China accounted for 30 of the 67 incidents. The main causes of the recall were strangulation asphyxia and risk of injury and chemical hazards.

In March, the European Union asked for 74 children's clothing recalled, up to 38 in China. The main reason for the recall was that the members were mainly Bulgaria, Greece, Germany and Cyprus. The main reason for the recall was that it was easy to cause suffocation or danger because of the rope and the ribbon. It violated the European standard EN 14682, and 6 of them were recalled because of the easy separation or insecurity of the accessories, which violated the European standard EN71. Because the chemicals exceeded the standard (involving azo dyes, two benzene carboxylate DEHP, toxic aromatic amine), it violated the REACH regulations.

In April, the EU recalled a total of 17 children's clothing products, 10 Chinese products, 7 Plush toys recalled, 4 Chinese products, two children's toys and clothing recalls from China, and electric blankets made in China were recalled due to fire.

In 2010 1~5, the European Union recalled 189 textile and apparel products, an increase of 105% over the same period.

Among them, China made 98 textile and apparel products, an increase of 51% over the same period last year.

Children's wear is the protagonist of recall.

From the first half of the textile recall situation, recalled products are mainly concentrated on children's clothing.

Liu Jia, Secretary General of the China clothing association children's wear Specialized Committee, analyzed that at present, most of the children's garments exported in China are processed by orders, and the main reasons for the recall are also concentrated on accessories such as cords, buttons and so on.

From the overall situation of the order processing products, the design power is often controlled by the party who sends the order. The order making enterprise usually carries out the production according to the design plan of the other party. Even if the design scheme is sometimes from the receiving party, it must be checked by the other party's enterprise before entering the production line.

Therefore, children's clothing is recalled because of unreasonable design of rope and so on. Responsibility can not be completely placed in one of the parties, nor should it be entirely borne by the manufacturer.

During the interview, Liu Jia pointed out that China's textile and clothing products were informed and recalled by the European Union for safety reasons. Besides investigating the technical reasons, enterprises should pay more attention to the patency of information communication.

From a specific point of view, product recall is also rare due to lack of information communication and information synchronization.

Liu Jia suggested that the relevant enterprises must enhance their awareness and quality of information communication. Before they put into production, they must thoroughly understand the technical standards of the products exported to the country. This enterprise can refer to the technical guide for exporting children's clothing, which has been published by the World Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce. By comparing the technical standards of European, American, Japanese and Chinese children's clothing products, the domestic children's clothing export enterprises should be able to find new directions to break through technical barriers.

Red child (Fujian) children's products Co., Ltd., the relevant person in charge told reporters that the safety is not consistent with the requirements is also one of the main reasons for children's clothing recall.

He said: "there are defects in the product design of foreign customers, and some foreign customers are not familiar with the technical regulations of the importing countries. For example, some customers make too long rope or decorative beads for the sake of beautiful products. Some customers change their strength and other physical indicators to the surface and excipients due to cost considerations.

In addition, the domestic children's clothing manufacturers lack knowledge of foreign technical regulations. Some enterprises only know how to produce according to their customers' requirements, and they lack sufficient identification ability for the design plan whether they conform to the foreign technical regulations. Most of them do not stipulate the conformity of product design when signing contracts with customers, which leads to the recall.

Wang Suyi, deputy manager of Sales Department of Shaoxing Acacia import and Export Co., Ltd. suggests that when domestic enterprises receive foreign orders, special attention should be paid to the order requirements and responsibilities of three aspects, such as the quality of the production process, the product's surface style, and the standard testing of components, so as to effectively avoid the phenomenon of recalling responsibility.

"Hardware" is a curse.

From January to April, many of the recalled incidents were recalled. Most of the textiles recalled in China were clothing, especially children's clothing, and the reasons for the recall were mainly focused on asphyxia risk and risk of injury and risk of swallowing.

The reasons for China's textile recall are summed up in the following three points, that is, the most direct reason for recall.

Safety is

threshold

。

The EU and other developed countries and regions are paying more and more attention to the safety of infant textiles.

With the development of the times and the improvement of science and technology, people's cognition of real life is becoming more and more rational.

The healthy growth of infants and children will directly affect the future of the country. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to the healthy development of infants and young children.

Because the supervision of infant clothing is still very weak, many European countries have formulated relevant laws and regulations to make up for this gap, such as the strict standard setting of heavy metal content in infant textile and garment fabrics.

Product testing is difficult.

Textile product testing has strict requirements for textile design.

From a number of recalls, children's clothing, such as beads or metal sheets, or too long belts below the waist, are easy to be ignored by the manufacturers, which often become a "big obstacle" that restricts the smooth export of products.

More importantly, these Regulations are listed as standards in Europe and have regulatory effect.

If the European Union's EN14682 has "tightened the loop / coil fixed on the garment, the circumference of the garment should not exceed 7.5cm. When the ring rope / coil is placed horizontally, the prominent length of the two points fixed on the garment should not exceed 7.5cm".

Environmental protection is limited.

In today's international textile industry, eco-friendly textiles have been widely concerned, and the concept of green textiles has been widely advocated in the textile industry.

Closely related to environmental protection is the European Union's REACH regulations. From January 2010 to early May, there were 17 recalls caused by chemical problems, 6 clothing products and 6 scarves. Clothing became the protagonist recalled for violation of REACH, and the production countries involved China, India, Morocco, Italy, Philippines and so on.

Many clothing products were recalled because of azo dyes, ortho benzene two formate DEHP, toxic aromatic amines, DMF and so on.

In Europe, there is a clear limit on the content of these components, such as the limit value of azo dye fuel is 30 mg / kg.

Of course, the EU's protection of textile environmental issues is not limited to the chemical level, but also includes strict checks on the metal substances and other components contained in textiles, so as to ensure the ecological and environmental protection of textile products to the maximum extent and ensure people's healthy life.
