China'S Footwear Entering The EU Market Must First Solve The Problem Of "Environmental Protection".

According to statistics from March 1st, in 2010, the European Union recalled 57 China.

Exit

Footwear, which was recalled for a total of 52 items due to ecological and environmental reasons, accounted for 91.2% of all the reported footwear products. 5 items were recalled for the reason that the decorative widgets were easy to fall off, causing children to eat accidentally and have sharp edges causing harm to children.

By comparing and analyzing the reasons for the EU's failure to recall footwear, it is found that the two major quality problems have become the focus of attention in developed countries such as the European Union.

First is the right child.

Children's shoes

The security concerns are getting higher and higher.

The European Union and other countries attach great importance to the safety of children's shoes. The main concern for children's footwear is the problem of small parts falling off easily.

For example, in 2010 the 46 phase of the Spanish recall of my domestic "Melihua" brand children's shoes, because of the strawberry decoration of the vamp, easy to fall off and enter the small part of the cylinder, if the child is eating accidentally, it can easily lead to suffocation.

The EU put forward a clear request in EN71. When the size of the widget can reach a maximum size of less than 6 mm, it can be separated under the action of 50 Newtonian force. When the size of the small part can reach a maximum size of 6 mm, can it be separated under the action of 90 Newton force and can enter the small zero cylinder.

standard

To test the safety of small parts on children's shoes.

Secondly, the demand for "eco environmental protection" of footwear is getting higher and higher.

With the enhancement of people's consumption consciousness, eco products have become a new hot spot in the international shoe industry competition.

However, the development of ecological footwear in China started late, and can not fully keep pace with the international pace.

From the recall data, chemical unsafe items account for more than 90% of the total recall, of which 42 are two methyl esters of fumaric acid exceeding the standard; 4 are banned aromatic amines exceeding the standard; 3 are plasticizers exceeding the EU limit requirements, and formaldehyde, six chromium and acetophenone volatiles exceed the 1 items.

In addition, according to the REACH regulations, the plasticizer content in children's articles should not exceed 0.1% of the weight, while the forty-first issue of "NKD" for 3-6 months of children's shoes is detected in its artificial leather containing 23% (two) ethylbenzene two formic acid two (2- ethylhexyl) ester (DEHP) plasticizer, more than 230 times the regulation.

Obviously, exceeding the standard of chemical substances has become the biggest technical barrier that restricts the export of footwear in China. It is also a "ecological and environmental problem" that is urgently needed to solve in front of footwear export enterprises.

Footwear is a special product of Ningbo's exports. In 2010, it exported 74 million 764 thousand and 600 pairs of shoes and shoes, and exported $170 million 566 thousand and 900, an increase of 15.4% and 19.3% over the same period last year, driving nearly 10000 employees.

At present, the annual output of China's footwear exceeds 10 billion pairs, which leads to over 6 million employment and annual output accounts for 60% of the world's total output, of which exports exceed 8 billion pairs. It is the largest footwear manufacturing base in the world and the largest footwear exporter in the world.

There is no doubt that the first important task of grabbing the international footwear market is to ensure the quality of products. Safety has become the final criterion for consumers to examine and select products.

To this end, the inspection and quarantine departments concerned ahead of the relevant shoe enterprises: China's footwear into the EU market, we must promptly control the dynamics of international footwear technical specifications, understand the trend of changes in the quality of footwear products abroad, and make up for the relevant quality defects.
