4.5 Restricted Substances精彩的英语
The following tests are required to ensure textiles are safe and do not contain any banned or harmful substances. In certain cas the are driven by legislation.
Restricted substance testing should be completed per fabric supplier and where indicated per colour. All products require full testing yearly.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP):
Cotton and Visco. <0.5ppm DIN 53313
Azo dyestuffs per colourway:
Natural fibres <30ppm BS EN 14362 – 1 : 2003

PCP is ud to prevent attack on partly procesd textiles. They have a relatively
on的音标high toxicity to mammalian and fish life and are therefore established as
environmental pollutants. It is possible that PCP could pass directly from fabric to
skin via surface diffusion.
Azo dyes can be ud to colour textiles. Certain Azo compounds can be broken
down by reaction with perspiration to produce carcinogenic amines. The following is
a current list of tho amines which are banned.

校园网管理系统Chrome VI is clasd as a carcinogen. Chrome VI can originate from unreliable sources of chrome III or can be produced via inappropriate processing conditions. Chrome VI is a known irritant to the lungs, mucous tissue of the no and the kidney.
Formaldehyde naturally occurring but most commonly found in resinated products, also in lower levels of fixing agents for cotton and nylon. Known irritant to skin and mucous membranes, recently classified as a carcinogen by W.H.O. (World Heath Organisation)
Skin Sensitising Dyes can be ud to colour textiles. Known skin irritant, can cau a violent reaction in trace quantities to people who are nsitid. A list of tho
dyes that are known skin irritants is given below.

5.0 Additional Product Requirements
All fabrics must comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations – Home Retail Specification -165
All fabrics must comply with The Textile Products (Indications of Fibre Content) Regulations 2005
The supplier must have systems in place to ensure that Fire Retardants have been applied to the fabric strictly in accordance with the instructions provided by the Fire Retardant manufacturer with respect to concentration suitability to the fabric substrate. Where salt bad Fire Retardant products are ud excess product application or insufficient dilution can result in salt crystals forming on the fabric. Checks must be carried out to ensure that after fixation no salt can reform.
All polyester fabrics and other man made materials must have a back coated flame retardant. Only 100% cotton fabrics can have a dipped flame retardant, however preference should be to back coat. (Note-back coating cotton can give a harder feel to the fabric)
