On June 14, 2017, the European Union issued (EU) 2017/1000 in its official gazette, adding the restrictions on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in Article 68 of Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation, and officially incorporating PFOA and its salts and related substances. List of restrictions on REACH regulations. The regulations will come into force on the 20th day after the official gazette is published and apply to all member states.
The restrictions on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) stipulate that the substance itself shall not be produced or placed on the market as of July 4, 2020. As of July 4, 2020, when the content of PFOA and its salts is ≥25ppb or the total amount of PFOA-related substances is ≥1000ppb, the following uses shall not be used for production or market: as another substance Component mixture item. Implemented on July 4, 2022: Latex printing ink for the manufacture of semiconductors; implemented on July 4, 2023: textiles used to protect workers' health and safety for medical textiles, water treatment filtration, production processes Membrane plasma nanocoating for wastewater treatment; implemented on July 4, 2032: Medical devices other than implantable medical devices within the scope of Directive 93/42/EEC.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has excellent thermal stability, chemical stability, high surface activity, hydrophobicity and oleophobic properties, but PFOA and its salts are not easily degraded and can be absorbed by the body through inhalation, skin contact and food chain. It is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic, with varying degrees of damage to the nervous, immune and reproductive systems, and has an irreversible impact on the environment.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts and PFOA derivatives are widely used in textile and chemical industries. The implementation of this new regulation will impact on China's textile and garment, paper products, leather products, plastic products and even electronic and electrical products. It will further increase the pressure on enterprises' exports. At the same time, production process improvement, equipment upgrades, auxiliaries replacement, and testing costs will increase substantially, which is even more difficult than SMEs with backward processes, or even will be eliminated.
In recent years, the textile industry is in a slump overall, and the implementation of the PFOA restrictions is undoubtedly worse for Shaoxing textile export enterprises. To this end, the inspection and quarantine department reminds exporting enterprises: First, pay close attention to the technical regulations and standards of countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan. The EU, the United States and Japan have always been important markets for textile and garment exports in the city. In recent years, internationally, there are toxic and harmful substances in textiles and garments. The control is becoming more and more strict. For example, the NPE restrictions on textiles revised by the European Union last year and the azo limit issued by Japan have brought a lot of impact to the textile export enterprises in the city. All export enterprises should have a high understanding of the release of technical trade measures in Europe and the United States. Prepare for the response in advance. The second is to accelerate the transformation and upgrading. With the strengthening of global environmental awareness, the use of toxic and hazardous chemicals has become an industry trend. Enterprises should arrange early, accelerate transformation and upgrading, strengthen risk control of raw materials, improve processes, and conduct quality inspections. To ensure the smooth export of the products.
