The latest news is that the content of EU REACH regulations may increase again in the near future.

As a labor-intensive industry, the chemicals involved in the products are large in quantity, wide in scope and various in variety. In addition, the export enterprises in the European Union do not attach enough importance to foreign standards and regulations, and lack of research. This makes exporters more passive in the face of technical measures. There are still some misconceptions about the REACH regulations, which make the export and export of footwear products related to China happen frequently.

According to official statistics from the United States and the European Union, the first quarter of this year, China's export footwear products were recalled by the United States and Europe in 31 batches, representing a sharp increase of 40% compared with the same period last year. Chemical hazards were the main reason for the recall of footwear products, accounting for 82.48% of the total recall.

Most of the two methyl fumarate (DMFu) exceeded the standard, accounting for a higher proportion of chemical recalls due to chemical hazards.

For example, in March 17, 2009, the directive issued by the European Union (2009/251/EC) required that products containing two methyl fumarate (DMFu) should not enter the market.

Germany has recalled that many Chinese shoes, including mountaineering shoes, sandals and baby shoes, have been recalled. The reasons for the recall are chemical hazards. The problem is on suede leather, shoelace, mould inhibitor, and even shoes mould.
