Non-breathable clothing
In pursuit of economy, we often forget about our own safety.. Many materials, which are used for sewing clothes and shoes, actually pose a serious health threat. To reduce the cost, unscrupulous manufacturers use low quality fabrics in the production of clothing. The severity of the effects ranges from ordinary discomfort or irritation to severe allergies.
Requirements for light industry products mandatory for application and fulfillment are set out in the technical regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 017/2011 “On the safety of light industry products”, and for children's clothing in the technical regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 007/2011 “On product safety, for children and adolescents ".
