The textile industry has a long history, but did you know? The current production process of fabrics and finished products can still cause irreversible harm to humans and the environment. As consumers around the world become more aware of the need to protect themselves from harmful chemicals such as PFAS and BPA, governments are introducing stringent regulations! For example, U.S. products categorized as Class 3 flammable fabrics cannot be sold on U.S. shelves at all.
For Taiwan's cross-border sellers, this is not only a challenge, but also a key threshold to break through the international market. Far more important than simply pursuing fashionable design is how to make your products comply with the regulatory standards of various countries.
SGS reveals the common regulatory requirements and related test certificates of major textile markets:
For the international market, the GRS global recycling standard requires that the recycled material content exceeds 20% to apply for certification, whereas the RCS recycling statement standard only requires 5%; the Bluesign label signifies that the product supply process complies with environmental, health and safety standards, which is crucial for e-commerce entrepreneurs who are building an international brand.
The biggest issue in the U.S. market is the CPSIA, which affects all children's products and requires manufacturers to submit children's product certificates in order to enter the U.S. market. California's Proposition 65 lists more than 900 chemicals that are prohibited or restricted, which are key points that cross-border exporters must be aware of.
Sellers at European sites must pay special attention to the REACH directive and the POPs persistent organic pollutant requirements. What really helps you understand is that POPs can be dispersed by air and water and are therefore strictly regulated by international conventions.
Among the Asian markets, Japan, Taiwan and China have their own unique regulatory systems. For example, Taiwan's CNS 15290 L1036 regulates the safety requirements for textiles ranging from baby and children's products to interior decoration, which is particularly important for Taiwanese manufacturers.
As global business interactions continue to increase, understanding and complying with regulations has become a key element in building consumer trust, brand credibility and sustainability. Aligning textile supply with regulations not only meets consumer expectations, but also serves as a benchmark for innovation and sustainability.
