GOTS 4 New Standard Released Modified Conventional Fiber Standard Added

< p > recently, the global "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "organic textile < /a > standard (GOTS) International Working Group promulgated, qualified organic natural fiber processing and manufacturing textile global recognized standard 4 edition.

< /p >

< p > the new edition has revised the standard of adding fiber materials, including: 30% of recycled synthetic fiber, but the prerequisite is that these fibers are environmentally friendly and certified.

GOTS thinks that it is no longer reasonable to pay attention only to the additional fiber content in natural fibers.

Pure polyester and Angola rabbit hair are prohibited.

New standards are specified for specific product categories, such as personal care products or mattresses for textiles.

< /p >

< p > the new version is defined as < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > recycled fiber < /a >: raw materials must come from certified organic production, that is, continuously managed forests or certified recycled materials.

For synthetic fibers, raw materials must be recycled and certified according to recognized standards.

"At present, through environmental impact assessment, it is no longer reasonable to pay attention to the amount of conventional fiber added to natural fibers (up to 30%).

In the future, textile manufacturers will have many kinds of fiber blends to choose from as long as they use environmentally friendly recycled and synthetic fibers.

There are more products that can be certified by GOTS, which promotes the growth of organic fiber utilization.

GOTS technology director Marcus Bruegel said.

< /p >

< p > the new edition has made stricter regulations for < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > > processing method < /a >.

There are new requirements for various applicable standards and limit values.

The expanded prohibited substances and strictly prescribed residue parameter tables were expanded again.

This will further clarify that all chemical products criticized by Greenpeace in "Detox action" are also prohibited in GOTS.

< p > GOTS social standard is based on the key convention of ILO (ILO), including the prohibition of the use of child labour.

The standard further specifies the scope of audits to be audited during on-site inspection.

The new version of GOTS4.0 clearly specified its operation process and identification methods.

Certification must be obtained during the GOTS inspection: fair dress Foundation (FWF), social responsibility standard 8000 (SA800), international social responsibility certification organization (WRAP) and business social standard certification (BSCI).

Fire training and evacuation drills are added to the existing health and safety training requirements.

The date for the implementation of the new standard by P GOTS certification is 1 years after the statement was published.

The emergence of the GOTS 4 edition benefited from stakeholder participation in the original revision every 3 years.

Transnational operations in organic areas such as organic production, textile processing, textile chemical composition and social standards and all stakeholders representing the interests of enterprises, NGOs and consumers are invited to participate in the revision of GOTS.

The participating organizations are Greenpeace, clean clothing, fair trade, fair dress foundation, international organic agricultural movement Union and textile exchange.
