The List by INIDITEX
Inditex has worked almost for 3 years to release the new edition of the LIST. Begin September The LIST - edition IV is expected to be published by Inditex. The LIST is kind of a brochure with the portfolio of approved chemical suppliers, like TANATEX.
So our global TANATEX product portfolio with textile/fashion application purpose (excluding experimental products) will be present in The LIST - edition IV. According the Inditex guidelines, they use 3 ratings for their products, rating A, B or C, based on possible presence of restricted substances. Products with an A rating can be selected by eg. mills without any problem. Products with a B rating too, but for these products additional testing is needed (commitment for the mills). Products with C rating cannot be used, because restricted/forbidden substances by Inditex are present.
During the year the Inditex lab will do random tests of our products, to check whether our products really comply or not. Also we need to do tests ourself, like eg APEO test, MTS screening, formaldehyde presence etc. All this data will be used to assign the correct A,B or C rating. Only rating by knowing a formula is not enough. TANATEX has done a lot of work too to get the List complete. Many departments within TANATEX are working closely together to get the data available as soon as possible. This is a great achievement. When the LIST is officially published, it will be communicated.
The publication of The LIST has also impact on another trending topic: ZDHC.
產品合規
INIDITEX清單
Inditex為發布新版本清單已準備了近三年,預計于9月發布第四版清單。清單將包括已批準的化學品供應商名錄,比如拓納。
因此我們全球拓納產品組合(用于紡織/時尚的,不含實驗性產品)將出現在第四版清單中。根據Inditex指南,按照限制性物質的含量,產品分A、B、C三個級別。A級產品可以由紡織廠放心選擇。B級也是如此,但需要額外測試(對紡織廠負責)。C級產品不能使用,因為含有Inditex限制/禁止使用的物質。
一年中,Inditex實驗室會對我們的產品進行隨機測試,看看我們的產品是不是真的合規。同時我們也會自行檢測,比如APEO測試,MTS篩選,甲醛含量等。所有這些數據可用來進行正確的分級。但僅僅通過配方來評級是不夠的。拓納做了很多工作,讓清單更加完整。拓納許多部門正在密切協作以盡快獲取所需的數據。這是一項了不起的成就。
清單官方發布后,也會對ZDHC認證有影響。
In short about ZDHC:
The ZDHC Foundation oversees the implementation of the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, a collaboration of major fashion brands, value chain affiliates and associations. Together, we drive the global implementation of safer chemical management practices.
We operate with transparency, using shared values, collaboration and networking to drive change, future-proof the industry, and protect the environment. Click here for more details.
Before the summer holiday started, we informed you that TANATEX will join ZDHC.
Joining ZDHC doesn't mean we immediately have our portfolio available in their database (Gateway). First we need to deal with complicated contracts. This took some time. We’re now at the stage that paperwork has been done, and access to the Gateway will follow soon.
PSRA is the only department that will receive access to the Gateway. As soon as we have access, the TANATEX products will be activated as soon as possible. Who will have access to ZDHC Gateway ? Think of brands like Inditex, H&M, Levi’s and many other textile/fashion brands. Also certifying organisations like Bluesign, GOTS, C2C, SGS, Okotex etc. And also of course chemical suppliers (& its agents) like TANATEX.
ZDHC made an arrangement with Bluesign that all products mentioned in Bluefinder (BLUESIGN’s database) will automatically be uploaded in the Gateway. Because TANATEX is a BLUESIGN partner, our products mentioned in Bluefinder, will also become available in the ZDHC database (Gateway). Products in the Gateway are categorised in 4 different levels, level 0 is lowest rating, level 3 is highest. The TANATEX products will be listed with highest rating possible, level 3. Products with level 3 mean all kind of data is present and checked by in- & external parties.
Besides the arrangement with Bluesign, ZDHC will add Inditex’ The LIST products as soon as The LIST is published. The classified ‘A&B products’ will be uploaded to the ZDHC Gateway, at level 3. (for explanation of A&B, see Inditex article) We know H&M has also requested to have their products available in the Gateway before the end of the year. We expect no issue, as many of these products are already uploaded in Bluefinder, and otherwise present via the Inditex LIST. So we can inform you that most of our portfolio will become available in the ZDHC Gateway soon.
ZDHC簡介:
ZDHC基金會監督ZDHC零排放計劃路線圖的實施,這是主要時尚品牌、價值鏈附屬公司和協會等開展的一項合作項目。我們一起推動全球執行更安全化學品管理的實踐。
我們運作透明,使用共同的價值觀、合作與網絡來推動變革,讓行業永不過時,并保護環境。
在暑假前,我們已經告知拓納將加入ZDHC。
加入ZDHC并不意味著我們的產品組合立即進入了其數據庫(門戶)。首先我們需要處理復雜的合同,這需要一些時間?,F在我們所處的階段是,文件準備已經完成,之后是辦理門戶通行證。
產品合規部是唯一能獲取門戶通行證的部門。一旦獲取通行證,拓納產品便會盡快激活。還有誰能進入ZDHC門戶呢?想想Inditex、H&M、李維斯和許多其他紡織品/時尚品牌,還有像藍標、GOTS、C2C、SGS、Okotex等認證機構,及拓納這樣的化學品供應商(和代理)。
ZDHC與藍標做了一項安排,即所有藍標數據庫中提到的產品會自動上傳到門戶。因為拓納是藍標伙伴,出現在藍標數據庫中的產品將出現在ZDHC的門戶中。門戶中的產品分為四個等級,0級最低,3級最高。拓納產品將以最高的3級列示。3級產品表示,所有數據都存在,并由內外部機構審查。
除了與藍標的安排,ZDHC將在Inditex清單發布后,盡快將清單中的產品添加進來。A級和B級產品將上傳ZDHC門戶成為3級產品。我們得知,H&M也請求在年底前讓其產品進入門戶。我們認為這沒有必要,因為許多產品要么已經在藍標數據庫中,要么是列于Inditex清單中。而我們產品組合中的大多數即將呈現在ZDHC門戶中。
About certification:
At this moment we have our own created statements for our products. These are available on Sharepoint. When the product is present in the ZDHC Gateway, we will be able to have official certificates from ZDHC to show our product complies to ZDHC. Creating such certificates needs to be done one by one, so it will take some time to get them available. Once a certificate is available we will publish it on our Sharepoint. If you’re missing a certificate and it’s really urgent to have, please send your request to productsafety@tanatexchemicals.com . Please let us know why, for which customer and of course which product(s). If you have additional questions about ZDHC, please send your mail to our product safety mailbox.
關于認證:
目前我們產品都有自制的宣傳資料,共享在Sharepoint中。產品進入ZDHC門戶后,我們會有來自ZDHC的官方證書來證明產品符合ZDHC的規范。制作證書需要一個一個進行,所以會需要一些時間。證書出來后,會在Sharepoint中發布。如果找不到某個證書,但又很緊急,請聯系productsafety@tanatexchemicals.com,并告知原因、客戶名稱和產品名稱。如果您關于ZDHC有其它問題,請郵件聯系。
