Textile And Clothing Industry Has Come Up With New Regulations, And China'S Exports Are Blocked.

According to the staff of the Fair Trade Office of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the EU recently issued the twenty-sixth regulation in 2016 to limit the content of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) in textile products.

The regulations require that the content of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) in textile products should not exceed 0.01% (100ppm).

The pitional period of the regulation is 5 years. After the expiration of the pition period, products which do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to be sold or imported in the EU market.

NPE is a non-ionic surfactant with good penetration, emulsification and dispersion properties. It is widely used in cleaning, dyeing and washing processes in the production of textiles.

The most commonly used detergent and dyeing auxiliaries in the industry account for more than 80% of China's market share.

It is an important export product in our city.

Data show that from 1 to April this year, our total export textile and garment products totaled US $226 thousand and 900.

Among them, the EU market accounted for 20.08%, which is our city.

This new order will have a greater impact on clothing, interior textiles, yarn and weaving production enterprises.

To this end, the City Commerce Bureau reminded relevant garment export enterprises to pay close attention to the implementation of the EU NPE regulations, grasp the detailed provisions of laws and regulations, and strengthen the detection of NPE content of raw materials and finished products, so as to avoid exceeding the limit requirement of EU products.
