Restriction of hazardous materials in polyvinyl chloride artificial leather

1 Scope

GB 21550-2008 is the Chinese national standard on the restriction of hazardous materials in polyvinyl chloride artificial leather, in the field of textile and leather technology. It carries no /T suffix, which in the Chinese system means compliance is mandatory: a product or a practice within its scope has to meet it to be lawfully made, sold or carried out in China. It was issued on 24 March 2008 by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 March 2009.
