The Restriction of Hazardous Substances  short for Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment

Summary With the continuous improvement of the consumers of green environmental protection and health and safety awareness, more and more customers requirements to provide products that meet the requirements of environmental protection and health and safety, especially in direct contact with the skin or oral products, such as underwear, clothing, towels, bedding, shoes and socks and other hygiene supplies. All over the world, including Europe and the United States developed countries and developing countries have to develop a very strict national standards and regional standards for such products!  Testing services of AGC are approved by most famous garment brands, retailers, and buyers. Besides the testing services and inspection services, CTI also provide various training services, such as holding technical seminars which are related to the product standard, textile knowledge, care label, etc.  Standards and Regulations Standards Corresponding Standards Organizations Countries of Recognition AATCC American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists American Countries ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials American Countries FTMS The United States Government US AS Standard Australia Australia & New Zealand US CPSC The US Consumer Product Safety US EN European Committee for Standardization European Countries BS British Standards Institution UK DIN Deutsches Institut Für Normung Germany NF Association Francaise de Nprmalisation France CAN/CGSB Canadian General Standards Board Canada JIS Japanese Standards Association Japan ISO International Organization for Standardization European Countries IDFB International Down and Feather Bureau Most Countries in the World SATRA Shoe and Allied Trades Research Association Most Countries in the World FIA Footwear Industry Of America GB Standardization Administration of China China FZ China National Textile Industry Council China QB China National Light Industry Council China HG China National Chemical Information Center China Test items Fiber composition analysis、Color fastness test、Dimensional stability(shrinkage)test、Strength test、Fabric/Garment performance and flammability test、Fibre & yarn test、Greening textiles test、Feather and down product test、Analytical test  Fibre Identification  Apparel and textile products have a high requirement on the fibre identification for the types and percentage of fibre components.  Care Label Care label can help customers know products’ features, so our tests include: color fastness to wash, color fastness to dry clean, color fastness to chlorinated bleach, dimensional stability to washing, appearance after washing and ironing, etc.  Color Fastness Color fastness is a basic requirement to reflect product’s quality. Not only does the fading of dyes affect the apparel appearance, but also human skin can absorb dyes. Color fastness tests basically include color fastness to washing, water, perspiration, rubbing and light.  Chemical requirements 1、Formaldehyde Content 2、pH Value 3、AZO Dye Analysis 4、Heavy Metals Content 5、Allergenous Disperse Dyes 6、Carcinogen Dyes 7、Nickel Release 8、Phthalates Content 9、Chlorinated Phenols Pentachlorophenol (PCP) 10、Tetrachlorophenol (TeCP) 11、Trichlorophenol (TCP) 12、Chlorinated Aromatics organicCarriers 13、Sensory Verification 14、Chromium (VI) 15、Total Lead content 16、Total Cadmium Content 17、Organotin 18、Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBS) 19、Polychlorinated Terphenyls (PCTs) 20、Flame Retardants 21、Polyvinyl Chloride 22、Dioxins and Furans  23、Alkylphenol (Aps)  (Nonylphenol＋Octylphenol) 24、Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEO)NPEO (Nonylphenol ethoxylates ＋OPEO (Octylphenolethoxylates) 25、OPP 26、Biocide finish GC-MS screening 27、Volatile Organic Compounds Head space (VOCs) 28、PFOS & PFOA 29、Pesticides 30、Triclosan 31、Asbestos 32、BHT 33、Chlorinated Paraffins 34、Naphthalene Content 35、BPA 36、TBBP-A 37、Dichlorobenzene Diamine 38、Dimethyl formamide (DMF) 39、Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) 40、∑of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
