“Don't think how safe your shoes are, and see if your shoes' metal keys are in contact with the skin. Is it all red and allergic? Maybe the leather in your shoes under your feet contains harmful substances!†Asian Leather Technology Center Technical Service Lin Liwei’s remarks at the latest seminar surprised all those present. In response to the EU's “green barriers†affecting the export of leather and footwear products in Shenzhen and Guangdong, many shoe-making enterprises in Shenzhen have begun to seek response measures and carry out various types of certifications. The TUV Group, a well-known German certification company based in Shenzhen, recently held a seminar. Nearly 100 Pearl River Delta shoe-making enterprises from Shenzhen, Dongguan and Foshan participated in the seminar. “Green barriers†affect leather exports At present, the output and export volume of Chinese footwear products has already ranked first in the world. However, while the export of products is growing at a high speed, the export market has increasingly strict requirements on the harmful substances contained in footwear products. Various green standards have been promulgated and implemented one after another. In September 2003, the “Directive on the Prohibition of the Use of Azo Dyes†promulgated by the European Union was formally implemented. On July 7, the China Leather Association issued an early warning notice that the European Union will likely launch anti-dumping investigations on various fabric shoes such as Chinese textile fabric shoes. This will involve most of the export enterprises in the Chinese footwear industry. Shenzhen, as China’s largest exporter of leather, has taken a series of positive measures in response, but last year leather shoes and other export declines remained high, and some even exceeded 50%. Some large European chain companies have also added items and content for chemical testing of textiles and leather in Shenzhen and other places. Take shoes for example, currently there are more than 15 kinds of test items for products, including shoelaces, shoelaces, and uppers. , net cloth and other decorations, and other parts of the shoes are sponges, heels, and inner cushions. And because one of the tests failed to accept the entire batch of orders, this has become a headache for many shoe companies. Export to the domestic market for shoes containing harmful substances? Ms. Shan is a graduate student at a German university. In order to complete a paper on the international competitiveness of Chinese footwear companies, she went to Shenzhen for a three-month inspection. She told reporters about her experience. When she was shopping in Huaqiangbei, she inadvertently saw some soles in the shoe store with the price “×× Euroâ€. These shoes are well-chosen and well-made so she can't put it down. However, she suddenly thought: According to the general situation, the price of foreign currency is generally exported products, and obviously these are domestic products. Are these shoes being "back home" because of quality problems in Europe? However, the boss did not want to speak more. So she had more eyes. "Say is a barrier, in fact, Europeans are really very concerned about the quality of environmental protection issues, including everyday items such as shoes, clothing, etc. And in our country at present there is not much emphasis on this aspect." Miss Shan believes that from humanity itself From a health point of view, shoe-making enterprises should pay enough attention to the quality elements of environmental protection in footwear products. Export products now rely on "green barriers" and have to be regulated, in fact domestic products should also pay attention to this issue. From finished product testing to raw material testing In order to avoid export obstruction caused by excessive content of harmful substances contained in footwear products, companies have to be required by European and American retailers to provide corresponding material or product test certification conclusions to prove that the product has met the requirements of non-toxic safety. . The repeated testing of accessories and raw materials for footwear products has also increased the production costs of enterprises and weakened their competitive advantages. Many companies are faced with a dilemma: Do not test it, product export is blocked; do test it, and the cost of repeated testing is too high. How to avoid green risks and reduce test costs, so as to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises? According to reports, the previous tests were generally based on the requirements of the retailer, the finished product was tested before shipment, and any toxic substances that did not meet the requirements were removed at any time. This detection method results in repeated testing of the same material in different products, which wastes time and costs. In addition, the product is tested before shipment. Once unqualified, it is wasted and wasted. Many production processes. In response to this problem, the TUV Rheinland Group in Germany and the STR Group, based in Shenzhen, have launched a new TOXPROOF inspection system. Compared with the finished product test, the TOXPROOF certification transfers the testing of toxic substances to the starting point of the supply chain. As long as the supplier has passed the tests for the production of accessories and raw materials for the manufactured products, then the final product inspection is not required, which greatly reduces the number of duplicates. Test material caused by the test costs. It is undeniable that as a new certification, TOXPROOF costs are not low. Taking footwear as an example, a test project needs about 4,000 yuan. If you complete the testing of nearly 20 kinds of items such as shoelaces, shoelaces, shoe uppers, mesh cloths, sponges, and inner cushions, the test price can be quite expensive. know. Nevertheless, compared to the repeated testing of the original parts and raw materials of the product, this cost is obviously more cost-effective in the long run. · "Bai Xia Girl" likes to wear on the upper foot · Rejecting ugly rain boots The most IN patent leather shoes are your rain ·Admiralty body waterproof shoes make travel more pleasant ·The smart men wear comfortable shoes with comfortable feet to fly ·New Balance leads the tidal wave father to record ·[Shoes · Will] 23-year-old signature shoe is very show? · Natural Kings, exclusive 70 year old Danish Humvee shoes · Cats and shoes fire?
