Children'S Products Export Should Conform To International Standards

Reporters learned that since the beginning of this year, the EU's non food consumer goods rapid warning system (RAPEX) has launched 449 reports on children's products in China.

The main reasons for notification include

The risk of suffocation, structural design safety, microbial risk and flammability, among which three problems have become chronic diseases.

The first is chemical risk, which involves 168 reports.

Over 81.5% of the content has become the primary "cancer", involving 137 cases, followed by the risk of asphyxia caused by the small parts falling off, such as the lack of solid decoration on children's shoes, etc., involving 110 reports, and the safety of children's costumes, involving 96 cases.

According to media reports, this year,

A number of high risk factor safety assessment reports have been released, such as the safety assessment report of bisphenol A in children's toys at the beginning of the year, suggesting that the substance has an impact on endocrine regulation activities of children. The European Commission then revised the children's toy directive, setting the limit for the migration of bisphenol A to 0.1 mg / L. the previous restriction was only implemented by the European toy industry voluntarily, not mandatory. In August, the European Commission's health and environmental risk assessment center (SCHER) released a report that the six valent chromium had potential carcinogenicity, and suggested that the pfer limit of six valent chromium in the toy safety directive should be greatly improved.

"Recently, the US Congress has proposed a new proposal (S.2811)," children and firemen Protection Act 2014 ", which limits the use of three kinds of flame retardants, such as ten antimony oxide, ten brominated diphenyl ethers, three (2- chloro ethyl) phosphate, three phosphate (three 1- chloro propyl) phosphate, four bromo bisphenol A, six brominated ring twelve alkane, chlorinated paraffin, etc.

In the future, the quality requirements for export of children's articles will be more stringent.

Mr. Wang, director of a children's products export company in Ningbo, said.

It is understood that the new bill proposed by the US Congress recently (S.2811) "children and firemen Protection Act 2014" requires stricter requirements, limited children's products or upholstered furniture (for diaper pads, portable mattress mattress, etc.)

Any part of the nap pad, pillow and so on should not contain more than 1000ppm of the above flame-retardant, and the new regulation is expected to take effect in September 2015.

In the international market, the quality requirements for children's articles export products are getting higher and higher. How can we successfully export our children's products? The relevant inspection and quarantine departments suggest that, on the one hand, the export enterprises of children's products in China should enhance the awareness of quality and safety, and export enterprises should strictly examine the safety of product design and other aspects, so as to identify problems in advance.

When exporting products according to the foreign orders, we do not blindly meet the requirements of the customers. We should strengthen the communication, and stipulate the conformance of product design in the contract, so as to safeguard our legitimate interests in view of the defects in the design of the foreign party, or the issue of the original raw materials that are inconsistent with the physical indicators such as the intensity of use.
