< p > at present, the EU does not have a legislative framework for labeling leather products. Only directive No. 94/11/EC (< a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/ > > shoes > /a > instructions") has specified the specific criteria for labels of footwear (including footwear components).

Recently, a study on leather labels pointed out that the emphasis of leather labels is on consumer oriented product labels, and the implementation of leather label regulations can benefit consumers.

At present, leather products are lack of legislation in most EU countries. About 15%~20% of leather products sold in the EU is not made of genuine leather.

< p > textile labeling, according to regulation No. 1007/2011 (Textile regulations) twenty-fourth, the European Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on whether to introduce new labeling rules in the EU, so that consumers can get accurate and comparable information on the characteristics of textiles.

The textile label research carried out by the European Commission covers a variety of textiles, including gloves, sleeping bags, men's suits and so on.

According to the study, the existing label system of textile products is up to standard, clear and familiar to consumers. In the future, if any new consumer oriented label provision is added, it should bring value-added benefits and make the original system more perfect.

< p > regarding sensitization substances, the twenty-fifth regulation of textiles regulation requires that the European Commission assess the harmful substances used in textiles.

The European Commission should conduct studies to assess whether there is a causal relationship between allergic reactions and chemicals used in textiles.

Studies on sensitizing substances have pointed out that there is a causal relationship between allergic reactions and application and residues in chemical products of textile products.

There are still uncertainties in the actual release, concentration or upper limit.

The Commission's report points out that risk assessment must be carried out to determine whether the sensitized chemicals on textile products constitute unacceptable risks. Action must be taken in accordance with the REACH regulations or authorization procedures.

The chemicals concerned include disperse dyes, softeners, flame retardants, preservatives and antimicrobials, formaldehyde, textile flavors, antistatic agents and antiskid agents.

As for the labelling of sensitizing substances, the report indicates that there is a more comprehensive voluntary certification and labeling system for products with chemical content.
