The United States children's products plasticizer is expected to detect the burden

The United States children's products plasticizer is expected to detect the burden
In August 17th, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a proposed new rules for the implementation of the notice in the Federal Register "": risk assessment and data based on CPSC, proposed new federal regulations in section 1308th of chapter 16CFR clause. Under the new terms, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) toys and child care supplies and other four kinds of plastic material of plasticizer will no longer need to carry out mandatory third party testing. The announcement will be held at the end of October.
Because of the phthalate plasticizer for endangering children's endocrine and reproductive system, CPSC early in the consumer product safety improvement act of 2008 (CPSIA) in the "" make provisions: on DEHP, DBP and BBP three kinds of phthalate plasticizers to implement a permanent ban, imposed a temporary ban on DINP, DIDP and DNOP. At the same time, according to the consumer product safety act and the requirements of the federal regulations, related toys and children's products must be qualified to enter the U.S. market by qualified third party agencies.
However, phthalate plasticizers are widely used in plastics, toys and other industrial systems, to prevent potential risks in CPSIA, after the announcement, CPSC also authorized under the act, set up a special by independent experts of the chronic hazard Advisory Group (CHAP), all plasticizers and substitutes the sustained effect the research involved in children's toys and child care supplies. CHAP focuses on the evaluation of the 14 kinds of phthalates in toys and child care products increased risk plasticizer and 6 kinds of substitution, and in July 18, 2014 in the form of a special report made a number of recommendations and strict supervision, according to the CPSC recommendations issued "containing specific plasticizer toys and products for children" is revised 16CFR No. 1307 ban the bill at the end of 2014.
According to the provisions of the amendment, a permanent ban on DBP, BBP or DEHP3 kind of phthalate plasticizers in CPSIA continue to implement a temporary ban on toys; entrance DINP is converted to a permanent injunction, and extended to all toys; added to the adjacent benzene two formic acid two isobutyl phthalate two (DIBP) two formic acid amyl ester (DPENP) phthalate two formic acid ester (DHEXP) has two and two formic acid dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) four permanent ban plasticizer, because of its toxicity and DBP and DEHP are very similar. At this point, a total of 8 kinds of plasticizer was included in the United States to ban the use of children's supplies.
Toys and other children's products is an important export commodities in our country, only the Ningbo area this year, 1-7 months of exports to the United States toy products reached 180 million U. S. dollars, of which all kinds of plastic products accounted for about 70% of the total. Constantly stringent safety requirements of children's products design, impact on China's export enterprises production and management and other aspects of the profound, especially plasticizer restricted list continues to lead to tighter detection of the burden of enterprises growing. According to our enterprises reflect, since the introduction of the ban, U.S. exports of plastic children supplies, if involving a number of different colors or different materials of plastic parts, only increase testing costs of plasticizers can reach more than 3000 yuan, coupled with heavy metals and other projects, often cost more than million yuan, has become difficult to technical barriers to trade ignore.
The introduction of the exemption of new regulations for the production of PP materials, PE materials, such as plastic toys and children's supplies business is a big positive, if the export batch more, the annual cost savings will be considerable. Export enterprises should pay close attention to the implementation date and specific requirements, timely and relevant information to inform foreign customers to discuss the rational use of policy space, reduce unnecessary third party inspection items, reduce export costs, improve market competitiveness. At the same time, enterprises should also attach great importance to deal with foreign technical barriers, and constantly improve the quality of raw materials and auxiliary materials management, optimize the production process, through technical barriers to enhance the grade of products through the foreign market, the regulations have third party inspection requirements must be strictly implemented, to ensure compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements of children's products.
