As part of this initiative, factories verify lead
bcing content, particularly in items adopting PVC. The plastic is commonly employed as the main shell or fabric coating. Lead is added as a stabilizer to absorb chlorine when PVC is heated.
Recent tests conducted on purses utilizing similar textiles or backings revealed amounts of lead well above the 300ppm CPSIA limit for children’s products. Although there are no current findings or rulings for garment and toiletry bags, suppliers are cautious and adhere to the CPSC guideline to reduce potential health risks.
To ensure conformity, some plants are shifting to nontoxic stabilizers. These versions, however, bring up outlay 100 to 300 percent. Alternatively, makers such as Shanghai Everest International Co. Ltd employ PU variants. Compared with PVC, the material is firmer and more similar to genuine leather.
Further, PU does not require plasticizers because of its pliable nature. The input, nonetheless, is 30 percent costlier.
Aside from lead, fabrics are tested for formaldehyde. The chemical is utilized in stiffening fibers and preventing creases. Suppliers limit levels to 300mg/kg in accordance with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 guideline for class 3 items.
In addition, factories examine textiles, trimming and other parts for the
bcing 15 SVHC listed under REACH. Fibers are analyzed as well for fl uorescent brighteners and azo content.
