Webex automobil surface treatment: understands from ningbo inspection and quarantine bureau, namely of the REACH regulation "chemical registration, evaluation, xu and restrictions", is the European Union to enter the market of all chemical preventive management regulations, the law since 2007, the export of chemical enterprises in China not only has brought a series of long-term impact, also including textile, mechanical and electrical, toys, furniture and other downstream products of the production, management, and export have a profound impact. In recent years, the EU for consumer regulatory content updates of the REACH regulation, in 2015 alone will have (EU) No 474/2014, 1272/2013 (EU) No such effect, four amendments involving 10 a variety of consumer products, at the same time the EU for consumer goods in accordance with the implementation of the supervision of the REACH regulation also unceasingly strengthens, export enterprises should be taken into consideration seriously and attention.

The execution of the regulation of the REACH regulation tighter

Closely associated with consumer products mainly of the REACH regulation XVII regulations attachment, the attachment for consumer goods of the dangerous chemicals in the use of demands and content have the strict limit, because Chinese consumer goods do not conform to the eu REACH regulation was the member states of the customs refused to import or ordered to recall on rising in recent years, has become an important technical barriers to China's exports of consumer goods. According to eu non-food consumer goods rapid reporting system (RAPEX) open data statistics, in 2014 China's exports to the eu consumer goods because of does not comply with the REACH regulation were reported as high as 301, year-on-year growth of 91.7% a year, including plasticizer, 180, 97 cases involving heavy metal. From the point of product category, toys and children's supplies of bulletin 260, up 111.4% from a year earlier, according to the general consumer goods of 41, up 4.9% from a year earlier. The rapid growth of the reported data show that on the one hand, the European Union for strictly on the execution of the regulation of the REACH regulation, another aspect also shows that China's imports of consumer goods in the DEHP banned chemicals on the control of large deficiencies, such as enterprise risk prevention consciousness remains to be further strengthened.

Range and requirement continuously upgrade

Main restrictions on exports to the eu consumer goods of the REACH regulation involves the European chemicals agency (ECHA) cloth attention in the list of SVHC substances list. Since October 28, 2008, the European Union published for the first time since the listing has updated 12 times, restricted substances has amounted to 161. The use of these substances Covers chemicals, textiles, plastic products, electronic products, printing products, such as dozens of major categories of consumer products, and production enterprise has the widespread impact of imported products.

And incorporated into the management requirements of harmful material of the REACH regulation has been strict in recent years, especially in children's products, household plastic products, such as goods first. For polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as an example, the European Union had only the PAHs is rubber tires in the limited requirements. But according to the amendment of the REACH regulation (EU) No 1272/2013, since December 27, 2015, the European Union will be to contain rubber or plastic parts to limit the content of PAHs in a variety of consumer goods, with the human skin or oral exposure to PAHs in rubber or plastic components content must not exceed 1 mg/kg; For children's products, its content must not exceed 0.5 mg/kg. It is understood that in addition to the amendment, 2015-2017 There will be at least six amendment of the REACH regulation will come into effect in succession, this will force related products export enterprises to strengthen raw material control and finished goods inspection, cost advantage will weaken further.

Export enterprises deal with the difficulty growing

With foreign state and heavily regulated, foreign importers of export product quality requirements also improving accordingly, but REACH regulation involves chemicals, regulations, professional strong, export enterprises usually rely on third-party testing authority checks, and with the high concentration increased in material list, the corresponding test cost will be increasingly high, this will be forced to increase the enterprise management costs, improve production technology and quality of raw materials, to give priority to with small micro enterprise of our country export goods industry difficulty is self-evident. Still PAHs, for example, according to some industry association reflected, under the domestic supply chain, a lot of consumer goods in the content of PAHs in the plastic or rubber parts usually between 10-50 mg/kg, with Germany and other developed countries currently performed 10 mg/kg compared gap is bigger, in order to ensure that is not affected by foreign technical barriers, the enterprises have to import from abroad related raw materials, greatly increased the production cost, reduced the international competitiveness of export products.

Therefore, inspection and quarantine departments to remind imports of consumer goods production and export enterprises, on the one hand, to improve risk consciousness, strengthen study to REACH and SVHC list updated information and track, in strict accordance with the latest requirement to direct production, strict risk control, transformation in advance according to the regulations of the product; On the other hand, to clear its own products raw materials composition, be careful on the raw materials supplier selection, new products, new raw materials must be according to the regulations entrust a specialized inspection agencies to focus on material at high risk of screening tests, avoid unnecessary economic losses made into a finished product is unqualified.
