Oeko-Tex (International Environmental Protection Textile Association) 2012 new standard
Oeko-Tex International Environmental Protection Textile Association, as in previous years, released the latest oeko-texstandard 100 textile hazardous substance inspection test standard and limit value requirements at the annual meeting, which took effect on January 1, 2012, and the new requirements began to be implemented on April 1. The re evaluation of test parameters is based on the current market and product development, the newly discovered toxic substances and the requirements of new regulations, and also takes into account the requirements of REACH regulations, including the deformation caused by the speed sample that has been added to reach tensile testing machine in 2011. The control and displacement control principles are basically uniform everywhere, and the harmful substances related to textile production with a high list of substances of concern
oeko-tex test items are updated as follows:
according to the current version of reach candidate, its electrical performance is actually inferior to the aluminum cable quality list and the consensus reached at present, the wet spinning fiber and coating will detect N-methyl pyrrolidone and dimethylacetamide items. Two chemical substances are included in the new item of "solvent residue", and the limit value is required not to exceed 0.1% of the weight ratio
in addition, relevant samples need to detect four new plasticizers: Di c-branched alkyl phthalate, di c-branched alkyl phthalate, di hexyl phthalate, dimethyl ethyl phthalate. These will be incorporated into the existing phthalate project. The total limit value requirement will remain unchanged at 0.1% of the weight ratio
similar to the prohibition requirements for APEO within the oeko-texstandard 1000 environment-friendly production field certification framework, NP, NPEOs (), Op, opeos () will also be included in the certification requirements of oeko-texstandard 100
the following limit values apply to all four product levels:
np: 100 ppm
op: 100 ppm
npeo () s: 1000 ppm
opeo () s: 1000 ppm
the test will be implemented from the release of the new standard. In order to give enterprises sufficient time to adjust and standardize production, production enterprises are allowed to have a transitional adjustment period, and the exact effective date is April 1, 2013. This item is not applicable to oeko-texstandard 1000 certified enterprises, because they have met the required standards
for leather products with product grade IV, the limit value of extractable chromium is required to be 10 mg/kg. It is different from the usual chromium limit requirements of textiles obtained according to the best technology available in the market to prevent accidents. Such leather products will not be toxic to human body when used as required

in addition to the new test parameters, the quality monitoring proportion of Oeko-Tex certified products carried out worldwide will be expanded to 20% of the certified products in the whole year, and the current minimum monitoring proportion is 15%. In recent years, an average of 18% of certified products have been purchased from stores for testing and monitoring, and all the costs are borne by Oeko-Tex International Environmental Protection Textile Association. Oeko-texstandard 100 is now certified for special products, such as tents, strollers, office chairs or backpacks
