Wenzhou protective footwear products will be gated by the EU certification body

Safety shoes produced in Wenzhou will be checked by the EU certification body. On the 8th, the Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and the Municipal Quality and Technical Supervision and Inspection Institute invited the EU accreditation body ELKEDE from Greece to join the joint inspection of the quality and certification of the safety shoes produced by the city's shoe companies.

ELKEDE is a modern technology design center that provides professional services in the fields of footwear, leather, prevention, clothing, and wood furniture. It has established the “Laboratory Quality Control Laboratory for Leather Products” approved by the European Union. The Supervising and Testing Institute started a long-term cooperation and will be responsible for carrying out various quality requirements and certification checks on the safety shoes produced by the shoe enterprises in the city, which is of great significance to improving the market competitiveness of safety shoes. For the current situation of the city's protective footwear companies, such as the quality of customs clearance, annotations, lack of CE certification, the relevant person in charge of ELKEDE company explained the latest technology and certification requirements of foreign safety shoes the day before yesterday, related laws and regulations and how to improve safety shoes Quality, avoiding foreign trade barriers and other knowledge.

It is understood that there are more than 50 companies that produce safety protective shoes in our city, with 12 million pairs of safety protective shoes exported each year and export value of 260 million US dollars. Because safety shoes belong to high-tech and high value-added footwear products, many domestic shoe-making enterprises with a certain scale and grade have already turned their attention to safety shoes, a market area that was once occupied by developed countries.
