More than half of EU's new rules are not up to standard

It is reported that the European Union recently issued a new regulation requiring that the content of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) in textile products should not exceed 0.01% (100ppm). The transitional period is 5 years, and products that do not meet the requirements after the expiry date will not be allowed to be sold or imported in the EU market.

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

"NPE is the most commonly used detergent and dyeing auxiliaries in the domestic textile industry. At present, more than 50% of the textile products on the market can not meet the EU NPE limit requirements, including printing, dyeing, leather, chemical fiber and other enterprises are particularly prominent." Inspection and quarantine department staff said, according to the new regulations, at present, more than half of the export market in Keqiao will be affected by EU clothing, indoor textiles, yarn and weaving production enterprises.

The EU is the second largest market for textile exports in Keqiao.

Over the past two years, with the revival of the European and American markets, the EU market demand has expanded and has become the second largest market for textile exports in Keqiao. In the first half of this year, Keqiao textile exports to the EU market amounted to 520 million US dollars, down 2.69% from the same period last year, accounting for nearly 1/8 of total textile exports. "Data show that EU market demand for textiles in Keqiao has become increasingly evident." District Commerce Bureau official revealed that with the restructuring of Keqiao's textile products and the continuous improvement of the market, the EU market has become the main market for export enterprises in Keqiao.

"This new deal is directly related to textiles, especially printing and dyeing enterprises. Although the products of Keqiao printing and dyeing enterprises are not directly exported to the European Union, but as printing and dyeing gathering areas and market distribution centers, we must attach importance to this new regulation and strive to adapt to the requirements." Insiders say.

Enterprises need to seize the opportunity early.

According to the analysis of insiders, for this new regulation, more than half of the products will be eliminated. If we want to avoid being eliminated, enterprises must deal with them early. According to the requirements of the new EU regulation, the production enterprises need to upgrade and upgrade the processes of scouring, bleaching and dyeing. In spite of the complexity of the transformation process and the difficulty of parameter adjustment, the cost of raw materials and testing will increase by 10% to 30%. But in the long run, the investment will still be "worth the money".

The inspection and quarantine department reminds the relevant enterprises: first, pay close attention to the implementation of the EU NPE regulations, grasp the detailed provisions of the regulations; two, adjust the process of scouring, dyeing and bleaching in a timely manner to find substitutes that meet the relevant requirements; three, strengthen the detection of NPE content of raw materials and finished products, so as to avoid exceeding the limit requirements of the EU products.
