Chemical Testing for Restricted Substances
In today's competitive market, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and quality expectations is paramount. Textile manufacturers and suppliers are under increasing pressure to adhere to stringent restrictions on the use of hazardous chemicals in their products. This responsibility extends beyond mere compliance; it includes safeguarding human health and environmental welfare.
Chemical testing for restricted substances (CRS) ensures that textiles meet all regulatory requirements set by international standards such as REACH, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and the EU's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. These regulations aim to prevent the use of chemicals known to cause harm, including carcinogens, mutagens, allergens, and reproductive toxicants.
