In August 7th, the Weihai inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that the formaldehyde content of the leather (hairless full grain Lamb Leather) from France was beyond the standard, and there was a potential danger to the environment and human health.

Therefore, the Weihai bureau is going to return the shipment.

This is the first time that Weihai port has failed to import imported leather.

In recent years, both domestic and international attention has been paid to the harm of formaldehyde to human body. The problem of formaldehyde content in leather has increasingly attracted widespread concern in the industry and society, and has become an important part of the "green trade measures".

The national mandatory standard GB20400-2006, "limits on harmful substances in leather and fur", which has been implemented since December 1, 2007, also limits the formaldehyde content.

The Weihai inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds the relevant enterprises that we should pay enough attention to safety and hygiene. When signing an import contract, we must clarify the safety and hygienic requirements of our mandatory standards. This will not only prevent the entry of the problem products, but also provide a strong basis for settling disputes.

As the inspection and quarantine department, we should comprehensively improve the professional and technical quality of the inspectors, strengthen the learning and training of professional skills, improve the structure of the existing staff, and comprehensively improve the quality of personnel so as to become a professional and technical personnel with a deep understanding of the technical indicators.
