The Limit Of Harmful Substances In Footwear Will Be Submitted To The Applicant.

　　近日，按照国家标准化管理委员会会议精神，由中国轻工业联合会综合业务部质量标准处牵头召开了强制性国家标准《鞋类卫生安全技术规范》标准协调沟通会议，对该项标准的编制说明、标准名称以及标准内容进行了重新审查。中国皮革协会、中国皮革和制鞋工业研究院、上海市质量监督检验技术研究院、天津出入境检验检疫局、上海浦江出入境检验检疫局、全国橡胶委胶鞋分会以及相关企业派代表参加了会议。

At the meeting, the representatives of various parties made a careful review of the standards for the hygiene and safety of footwear. According to the opinions of experts and enterprises, in order to make the standards more targeted and operational, avoid misunderstanding in the market supervision, make the standards more convenient for enterprises to use, and have a guiding role in consumer behavior. The standard name was revised to "the limit of harmful substances in footwear", and the technical requirements were adjusted to the compulsory limit requirements for free formaldehyde, azo dyes and extractable heavy metals (lead, cadmium and arsenic) in footwear products.

This standard will be submitted to the National Standardization Technical Committee for approval after being approved.

If the mandatory national standard passes smoothly, the higher demand for China's footwear industry will be put forward. The direct benefits will be the protection of consumers' health and the increase of testing costs.
