◉    Background

Although there is no product standard for textile in Europe and America, it does not mean that there is no requirement of textile products in Europe and America.In just three years, the number of substances of very high concern in EU REACH regulation has increased from 174 to 209. And the American regulations related to the safety of consumer products for children, such as CPSIA, have also been updated frequently with increasingly stringent requirements.How to ensure that the products do not contain restricted substances and meet the textile safety requirements in Europe and America has become an issue concerned by the majority of textile export enterprises.

CTI provides testing services for textile safety required in Europe and America, such as European REACH/SVHC, American CPSIA, California 65, flammability, sharp points and edges, small parts and cords, in order to provide problem solution to textile export enterprises, so as to improve the compliance of your products in the European and American markets, and reduce the risk of recall and punishment in the market.
