In terms of textile requirements, printing and dyeing and auxiliaries should cooperate closely to limit the use of APEO from the source.

Third, as the last gatekeeper of the export products, the inspection and quarantine institutions should also conduct effective APEO sampling inspection for the textile and apparel products exported to Europe, so as to prevent the APEO content from exceeding the standard.
