The content may increase in the near future. The authorized substances will increase from the original 38 to 49 by the end of the year. Experts say this means that the export shoe companies export to Europe.

The total amount of authorized substances can not exceed 0.1%.

Reporters learned that, on the 30 th of this month, the EU REACH regulations will usher in the first official registration deadline. Meanwhile, the chemicals regulations of Japan, the United States, South Korea and China have also been updated.

As a labor-intensive industry, China's footwear industry is characterized by a large quantity of chemicals, a wide variety of products, and a large number of chemicals that are involved in the products. In addition, the export enterprises in the European Union do not attach enough importance to foreign standards and regulations, and lack of research. This makes exporters more passive in the face of technical measures, and many enterprises still have some misunderstanding about the REACH regulations, which makes China's footwear export related overseas notification and return occur frequently.

A total of 31 batches of recall received by Europe and the United States increased by 40% compared with the same period last year. Chemical hazards were the main reason for the recall of footwear products, accounting for 82.48% of the total recall.

In response to REACH regulations, the industry believes that China's footwear industry must accelerate the upgrading and upgrading of its industrial structure.

REACH laws and regulations are complicated and involve a wide range, especially enterprises that export traditional, bulk and low technology content as the main products.

For shoe enterprises, we should give full consideration to the changes in the chemical industry and the upstream and downstream industries, including upgrading and upgrading of the industry, production and research and development, and changes in management concepts and the improvement of management level.

However, experts believe that although the REACH regulations will become another technical barrier to the European Union, this regulation will also have positive significance for the development of related industries in China. Enterprises should make use of this opportunity to speed up the upgrading and upgrading of enterprise products according to the requirements of REACH regulations, improve production processes, improve product quality and environmental protection performance according to international standards, which is also an effective way to maintain and improve the competitiveness of export products.
