In June 1st, the European Chemicals Department began to accept the pre registration of substances under the REACH regulations. Although pre registration is free, it is also a key link.

A few days ago, we visited some export enterprises directly involved in textile and garment industry, and realized that in the face of complicated EU regulations, most enterprises were still confused.

According to the introduction, from June 1st to December 1st this year, if the registered European products are not registered in this period, they will be forced to withdraw from the EU market, or they will face the risk of "high admission fees".

As for many textile and garment enterprises in Shishi, Jinjiang, the "green barrier" of the EU once again aroused public concern.

Textile and garment industry belongs to the downstream industry of chemical industry.

Various dyes, auxiliaries and finishing agents containing chemical components will be used in dyeing and finishing of textile yarns and fabrics.

An engineer in charge of the REACH regulation of Shenzhen branch said that only after pre registration can the time limit be obtained according to the different material properties and tonnage, and the corresponding registration period of 3 years, 6 years and 11 years will be obtained, and the product will not be exported to the EU during the pition period.

After the official registration is completed within the pitional period, the enterprise will get the "pass" to enter the EU market in the future.

The experts suggested to Shishi, Jinjiang's local textile, clothing, toys and other related enterprises that enterprises could pay attention to the action of upstream raw materials traders and the relevant rules and regulations in time, and pay attention to the relevant trends.

"We all think that the REACH regulation will have great impact on the enterprise, but we can only wait now."

Mr. Zhang, a well-known textile company in Shishi, said: "the biggest problem now is that we do not know whether the products we export to the EU need to be registered.

For downstream enterprises such as textiles and toys, it is difficult to identify substances contained in the products.

At present, the REACH regulation is only about to start the first stage of work - pre registration, then enter the registration pition period, followed by a long testing period.

It is understood that the REACH registration procedure is not as complex as expected.

According to the analysis of relevant personnel in the inspection and quarantine department, "the requirements for pre registration are relatively simple. It is only necessary to submit the information of the registrant, the material identification and tonnage information to be registered.

There are several options for pre registration: first, offices with offices in the EU can register on their own; the two is registered by the trade side; the three is the third party's professional agencies.

Relevant people suggest that Jinjiang, Shishi textile and clothing enterprises, can require their own raw materials suppliers to provide REACH related testing.

For some chemical enterprises which have direct influence, entities with no legal person status in the EU can join together and entrust third party professional agencies to register.
