It is reported that in the new REACH regulation, the newly listed “highly concerned substances†include 46 substances such as phthalates and arsenic pentaoxide. According to the new REACH regulation, if the goods exported to the EU contain more than 0.1% of the substances of very high concern, and the total amount of the substances entering the EU market exceeds one ton per year, the manufacturer or importer needs to go to the European Chemicals Agency. Notice. Of the 46 substances, 38 must be notified before June 1 this year, and 8 more must be notified before June 15.
In this regard, Lin Yuancan, Secretary-General of the Fujian Footwear Export Base Chamber of Commerce, said that as the main export products of Jinjiang City, textiles, clothing, footwear, toys, plastic products and other industries should pay special attention, because of clothing dyes, shoes adhesives, Chemicals are added to plastic products and companies must test them as soon as possible.
In recent years, the EU has always been an important trading partner and export market for Jinjiang enterprises. During the interview, the reporter found that many export shoe companies have a better understanding of REACH's new regulations, but for testing, companies have different voices.
“Our products exported to the European Union are all within the scope permitted by the regulations.†In this regard, Wu Guoping, director of the Experimental Testing Center of Quanzhou Peak (Group) Co., Ltd., told reporters that since Peak’s export sales accounted for 40% of total sales, The EU and the United States are the main markets. Therefore, Peak has been paying close attention to the latest developments of REACH regulations and has its own testing center.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Anta (China) Co., Ltd. testing center Zhong Jinuo told reporters that the implementation of the new regulations will not affect the domestic market, but for the independent brand companies want to expand the international market, they can learn from and spontaneously regulate, We are ready to open up the international market in the future. It is reported that, at present, Anta exports only account for 5% of total sales.
"All along, export companies have been responsible for tracking raw materials and finished products by the trading company. They only need to do a good job in production and processing, and they can deliver on time," said Lin Zhaowen, executive vice president of Golden Apple (China) Co., Ltd., for the new company. The implementation of the regulations, companies only need to select the normative suppliers, reduce the testing time and frequency can be. It is reported that the first inspection costs of large-scale export companies are borne by foreign merchants, unless the tests are not closed, and the subsequent inspection costs are borne by the companies themselves.
However, Chen Anhui, deputy general manager of Quanzhou Pengxiang Xingye Import and Export Co., Ltd., also told reporters that large export companies are not worried about the cost of testing. Most of the inspection fees are borne by merchants, and the passing rate is about 80%. In addition, due to the large single quantity and long-term cooperation with the supplier of the standardization, suppliers will also “self-check†ahead of time when they provide raw materials. In this way, the adoption rate is even higher. “However, not all merchants will have inspection fees. Large merchants have strict requirements on products and are willing to pay inspection fees; while some small merchants are reluctant to issue inspection fees, corporate profits are already low, and even more. They are reluctant to detect it. As a result, the implementation of the new regulations is indeed very difficult for them.†Chen Anhui said that because of the small size of some small and medium-sized enterprises, they can only accept small orders, and some single colors are only a few hundred pairs. , And a pair of shoes testing fees as high as 10 yuan or more, this way, not only no money, but also a loss.
This view has also been recognized by many SMEs. “We mainly deal with processing exports. The profit was only a few meager points. The raw materials used were all bought. If these have to be tested one by one, the test fee for exporting a batch of shoes will be as low as tens of thousands. For hundreds of thousands of blocks, the money earned from a single list is not enough to do the test.†The owner of a small foreign trade enterprise in Jinjiang City reluctantly stated that they are considering whether to abandon the EU market and develop customers in other countries.
The reporter learned that the implementation of the new regulations does not affect the large-scale export enterprises.
Chen Anhui disclosed to reporters that the biggest impact was not the inspection fee, but the time of inspection. Since there are no high-end third-party testing organizations in the region, most merchants will require shoe companies to send products to third-party testing agencies in Guangdong, Shanghai and even foreign countries. In this way, the single inspection time will take up 1/3 or even 2/3 of the production cycle. Once the company's production cycle is not well-organized, it is very prone to delay in delivery, and the breach of contract is the most terrible. Before that, due to the tight deadline for delivery, companies had to airfreight goods to merchants, which was very costly. At that time, the regulations were not so harsh.
Calling on high-end third-party testing agencies reporters learned that in the face of the implementation of the new regulations, Jinjiang enterprises on the one hand hope that the government can introduce high-end third-party testing agencies, saving time for shoe companies on-site inspection; on the other hand, shoes Enterprises can only adopt various methods to continuously improve their production management levels and increase their production efficiency, so as to adapt to increasingly stringent international market requirements.
“In recent years, there have been frequent technical barriers to international trade, and some companies with stronger capabilities have imported testing instruments from abroad and set up testing centers. They strictly check before production to avoid unnecessary losses.†However, Wu Guoping also Helplessly told reporters that since the regulations are usually published in English, the speed of updating is very fast, and it is sometimes difficult to avoid timely understanding and accurate translation.
“Enterprises still very much hope that the government can introduce some high-end third-party testing agencies, not only reducing inspection time, but also being able to assist high-end and professional third-party testing agencies to focus on and convey the contents and updates of the new regulations. The international market can be more precisely developed,†Wu Guoping told reporters.
The reporter learned that if the raw materials or semi-finished products submitted by the shoe company are not tested, the company usually chooses to return the raw materials, and the supplier can only accept the return of the shoe company. Although it can be returned, it is a great loss for all three parties. In response, Lin Zhaowen told reporters that although the first inspection fee was borne by the merchant, if the first inspection did not pass, then the cost of the next inspection was borne by the company itself. This not only greatly increased the cost for the enterprise, but also greatly squeezed the cost. The production time of the company brings troubles to the production. Therefore, it is critical to choose the normative supplier.
“Downstream companies should select standardized suppliers and require them to provide test reports on their chemical composition. Upstream and downstream companies can also form alliances within the industry to share test costs together.†Vice President and Secretary of China Shoe R&D Design Center Lin Wei also suggested.
In response, Yang Junwei, regional manager of the South China Region of TUV South Wills Group, told reporters that in order to cope with the introduction of the new regulations, TUV South will cooperate with the National Footwear Inspection Center (Putian) to export the shoes of the European Union and the United States. The enterprises can now submit inspections in the province and receive two reports at the same time. This not only saves the company time for testing, but also saves the company half the cost of testing. According to reports, the original export shoe products need to obtain two test reports at the same time in order to be legally exported, one for the professional third-party testing agency testing report, and the other is the domestic national footwear testing center issued a report. The cooperation between the international third-party testing agency and the national footwear testing center in the province is indeed a benefit for shoe companies.
It is reported that TUV South will continue to seek similar cooperation in Jinjiang to achieve local service Jinjiang shoe enterprises.
Recently, the European Union issued the new regulations for the "Registration, Evaluation, Licensing and Restriction of Chemicals" (REACH). Any substances that are listed as SVHC exceed the standard must be before June 1st and June 15th, 2011. , Informed to the European Chemicals Agency in batches that the products not notified will not enter the EU market. It is reported that this means that all companies that use these substances of high concern must immediately "self-examine" the products and find out if their contents exceed the standards, otherwise the products will be recalled. For companies, the new regulations are far more stringent than before.
However, the reporter learned that although the new regulations are more stringent than the original, for many companies, the additional testing fees are not the most critical issue. The length of inspection time is the problem that really affects the production progress of the company. Once the delivery date is delayed, the large liquidated damages to be paid to the processing companies are really what makes them crazy.
