Quanzhou Exported To EU PU Leather Shoes Were Found To Contain Toxic And Harmful Substances

< p > recently, the Quanzhou entry-exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau conducted special supervision and inspection on the hazardous substances N, N- two methyl formamide in the export area of EU a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > PU leather shoes < /a >. It was found that the content of two methyl formamide in some shoe leather was higher than that in the EU REACH regulations.

This is the first time in Fujian entry exit inspection and quarantine system that N, N- two methyl formamide content exceeded the standard.

< p > according to the introduction, 100% of the 14 PU leather samples detected by spot checks contain 100% methyl formamide, of which 2 are less than 100mg/kg, 8 are 100~500mg/kg, 3 are 500~1000mg/kg, and 1 are higher than 1000mg/kg (content is as high as 3026mg/kg).

The sample with a high quality and safety risk is larger than 500mg/kg with a ratio of 28.6%.

Two methyl formamide is an important chemical raw material and excellent solvent. It is also an important solvent for the production of PU synthetic leather.

It enters the body through respiratory tract, skin and gastrointestinal tract, irritating skin and mucous membrane, and can damage the central nervous system and important organs such as liver, kidney and stomach.

In December 19, 2012, the European Union's Chemicals Administration (ECHA) issued the eighth batch of SVHC list of EU REACH regulations, officially placing two methyl formamide as a substance of high concern.

In the twenty-eighth week of 2012, the EU's non food products quick warning system (RAPEX) first announced the announcement of over two methyl Methamide content in Chinese women's shoes.

< p > EU is the main market of Quanzhou < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_x.asp" > footwear export < /a >, and its export volume is more than 1 billion US dollars.

If the content of two methylformamide exceeds the standard, being detected by the European Union will have a serious impact on the export of footwear in Fujian.

2013 1~6 month, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Quanzhou < /a > entry and exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shishi office inspected and supervised the 348 batches and 26 million 226 thousand US dollars of footwear exported to EU.

To this end, the office timely informed the above risk information to export enterprises, trade associations, Export Chamber of Commerce and other departments, so that enterprises understand the EU's restrictions on the requirement of two methyl formamide, and guide enterprises to carry out two methyl formamide production analysis and prevention.

At the same time, we urge the enterprises to establish and improve the raw material purchase and finished product inspection and testing system, and adjust the two methyl formamide project to the key inspection items of European PU leather shoes, and implement the key monitoring and testing.
