Recent intensive updates on wood products regulations in Europe and America, export companies need to pay attention

China board trading network news:

The reporter learned from the Fujian Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that wood products are an important export commodity in China. In 2016, exports of 80,719 batches, 1.934 billion US dollars, were mainly exported to Europe, America, Australia, the Philippines, and other countries and regions, of which Europe and the United States were the largest export markets with a total of 54,292 batches of exports. US$1366.2 million, the value of goods and batches accounted for 67.26% and 70.42% of the total exports, respectively. Since the end of 2016, Europe and the United States have intensively introduced wood product regulations, and China's exporters of wood products need urgent attention.

First, the United States introduced the newest strict formaldehyde regulations in history. In December 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule to substantially increase the formaldehyde release standards for composite wood products in the "Toxic Substances Control Act." It is called the most stringent in the global composite wood products industry. Formaldehyde release standards, including the amendment of the content of composite wood products must meet the formaldehyde release standards, certified by a third-party certification body, compliance with the release of the declaration and other five terms, on December 12, 2017 after the implementation of six years in succession.

The second is the draft decree issued by France on the labelling of volatile contaminants in furniture products. In January 2017, the European Commission issued a decree and order on the labelling of volatile pollutants emitted from furniture products. The formaldehyde emission label for wood-based furniture products became a mandatory label and prohibited CMR1 (Category 1: Carcinogenic, Teratogenic, Reproductive toxicity). With CMR2 (Category 2)..., the draft will take effect in two phases: products that will be sold on the market for the first time from January 1, 2020; and will be available on the market from 2020 to January 1, 2020 All furniture products.

Third, the European Union has updated the standards for eco-labelling of wooden flooring. On February 2, 2017, the EU Official Gazette Release Committee (EU) Decision No. 2017/176, EU's wood floor eco-labelling standards were updated on January 25, 2017. This decision applies to floors made of wood, cork, and bamboo. The assessment and verification requirements described above are valid for six years after the decision is updated. Within two months from the date of update of EU wood-based eco-label standards, enterprises can still apply for EU eco-labels according to 2010/18/EC, which was previously based on 2010/18/EC. The EU ecolabels granted can continue to be used before January 25, 2018. It was decided that wood, bamboo and other materials, including wood flooring products, should not be less than 80% of the final product and the product must not contain synthetic fibers and substances of high concern. (SVHC), heavy metals, VOC emissions, 15 hazardous substances requirements.

These new regulations for wood products in Europe and the United States will bring severe challenges to the relevant wood products industries in China, which will not only increase export company export costs, but also increase the risk of being returned and recalled. To this end, the Fujian Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminded relevant export companies to take early precautions, promptly pay attention to relevant information, accurately grasp the implementation period of new standards and related requirements, and timely adjust production processes to meet new regulatory requirements. Enterprises should consciously increase their sense of responsibility, establish and improve the system for purchasing raw materials and products, and enter the factory verification system to ensure the quality of raw materials; establish and improve quality management systems and self-inspection and self-control systems, and implement finished product inspections to ensure that quality and toxic and hazardous controls are in compliance. related requirements. At the same time, we will actively expand emerging markets such as countries along the “Belt and Road” and Southeast Asia to reduce the risks caused by excessive market concentration.

Universal Ion Controller

The ion content in water has a great influence on aquatic organisms and the ecological environment. Conditions where some ions are too high or too low can lead to aquatic life death or habitat destruction. By monitoring changes in water quality ions, timely measures can be taken to protect aquatic organisms and the ecological environment. The online ion controller can add a variety of ion composite sensors. Based on the ion selective electrode method, it can detect chloride ions, sodium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions, fluorine ions and other ions. In addition, the controller also has the function of temperature detection and compensation for the measured water sample. The ion controller is configured with 2 SPST relays by default, 2 channels of 4-20mA current output and an optional RS485 interface. The controller power supply is powered by a wide voltage to avoid interference caused by voltage instability. We currently offer ion controllers in two sizes, the small size is suitable for panel installation, and the large size can be wall-mounted or pipe-mounted.
