EU BPR Regulations Continue To Ferment Textile Shoes And Apparel Products Export Face Examination

According to completely Statistics show that the total export volume of products exported to the EU in the scope of BPR regulation is nearly 800 billion US dollars in Guangdong. The implementation of the BPR regulations not only has a great impact on the production and export enterprises of sanitary pesticides, but also has a great impact on dozens of products such as textiles, clothing, furniture, footwear, leather, kitchen and toilet products, toys, lamps and lanterns, plastic rubber, paint and coatings, and Mechanical and electrical products.

It is understood that the irrational use of biocides will cause human health hazards such as allergic reactions, and will also have a great impact on the environment. At present, the preservatives and antibacterial agents used in textile products such as shoes and garments have not yet established uniform regulations. The implementation of the EU BPR regulations will make the licensing of active substances and the cost of authorization of biocide products become extremely expensive. This will not only impose additional burden on the chemical enterprises that export some biocides active ingredients in China, but will also extend to the export enterprises that use antimicrobial agents and preservatives in dozens of products of textile shoes and clothing products in China.

First of all, dozens of products exported by biocides, such as textile shoes and clothing, will be affected by extensive trade barriers. The BPR regulations incorporate the "biocides disposal items" into the regulatory scope, which has an important impact on the export of many advantageous industries such as textiles, furniture and ceramics to Guangdong. Take the textile industry as an example, as long as it directly or indirectly provides antibacterial and antiseptic textiles to the EU market, it is necessary to pass more product information in the supply chain than before and carry out its strict label system.

Next is Extremely easy Trigger a chain reaction. As one of the most developed economies in the world, the European Union has strict chemical regulations and regulations, and has the global leading role. It is easy to be followed and emulated by other countries and regions. Not only developed countries, but also developing countries are copying their own chemical regulatory mechanisms. Once the BPR regulations are widely followed by various countries, it will have a greater impact on the export of biocides and their processed products in Guangdong and even in the whole country.

At the same time, it also makes the export of biocide products more difficult in China. Under the BPR regulations, all biocide products must be reviewed by active substances and authorized by the European Union or its member states. At the same time, enterprises requiring assessment must share the data costs of similar products already applied. This makes it impossible for the original enterprise to prohibit the free from data charges by "free riding". Enterprises have to face high costs, including data charges, administrative fees, agency fees and miscellaneous fees. Related investigations show that Guangdong's biocide enterprises are mostly SMEs, and their strength is weak. If they fail to respond to BPR regulations, they will have to become ancillary suppliers of authorized EU importers.

To cope with the new challenges brought about by the implementation of the BPR regulations, the Guangdong Quality Supervision Bureau has actively played the role of the WTO/TBT research center. It is organizing all relevant departments and industries to take positive actions and take effective measures to establish and integrate the resources of the joint venture (2938.36,36.370,1.25%) through the establishment of a joint response mechanism, to explore effective ways to establish BPR regulations, and to do a good job in coping with the implementation of BPR regulations. On the one hand, the inspection and quarantine departments and the commercial departments should monitor the impact of the BPR regulations on the export in real time, take positive measures to deal with the affected industries, create a favorable export environment, and pay close attention to the export of related products and inform the relevant enterprises in time. On the other hand, the quality supervision departments provide information such as risk warning, interpretation of laws and regulations, and technical services such as testing and standardization, pay close attention to and follow the EU's amendments to the BPR regulations and new regulations, and seriously study the impact of the trade barriers on China's main industries.

　　 Guangdong Province The director of the WTO/TBT advisory and consulting center appealed that all kinds of testing and research institutes at all levels should strengthen technical support and service, and strengthen the research on the prohibition limit standards and testing methods for hazardous substances in biocides and processed products in Europe and America, so as to provide timely technical support for enterprises to understand the changes in the technical standards and quality requirements of the international market and improve the technology, so as to enable enterprises to establish a quality assurance system that meets the technical and trade measures required by importing countries and regions.
