PREFACE
This guide is developed to facilitate for importing companies to comply with the chemical legislation and recommendations in force in the fields of textiles, clothes, leather goods, shoes and packaging material. By requiring that their suppliers follow these guidelines, and thereby avoiding importing products containing unwanted substances, human health and the environment are protected in producing, supplying and importing countries. Import of the mentioned products from, in particular, developing countries to the European Union (EU) and EEA is also facilitated and promoted by this guide.
The guide covers all harmonized chemicals EU-regulation affecting textile and leather products. The distinguishing properties of the chemicals and the processes in which they are used are described in the guide.
The stipulated test equipment is commonly occurring, and the quantification limits (LOQ) are generally accepted. Please note that when limit values are given, possible contamination by the external environment and inaccuracy in the measurement of very low concentration must be taken into consideration.
Recommended substitutes are less harmful while providing the desired effect or property.
The guide exists in several languages. To facilitate communication, the contents on each page are identical in each linguistic version. The English version of this guide is preferential for interpretation.
