SHEIN EU Textile PFAS Compliance Control

Recently, with the continuous upgrading of EU PFAS regulations, especially the full entry into force of the new standard EN 17681-1:2025, SHEIN has officially tightened PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) compliance requirements for textile products sold to the EU market to strengthen overall regulatory risk control.Numerous sellers have received official platform notifications.Below is a clear guideline to help you fully understand the control rules and avoid product delisting risks.

Different Deadlines for EU Countries

New compliance rules are implemented separately for France and other EU member states:

• Products sold to France:Effective immediately, both the Self-Declaration of Conformity and qualified PFAS test reports must be uploaded.

• Products sold to other EU countries (excluding the UK):Complete the submission of the Self-Declaration of Conformity and PFAS test reports before June 30, 2026.

Products without complete required documents will be delisted by the platform in accordance with local EU laws and regulations.

Product Scope of Control

All textile products exported to the EU are subject to PFAS compliance inspection.Two categories are highlighted for priority preparation:

1. General Products

All apparel (including children's clothing), footwear (including children's shoes) and juvenile textile goods, regardless of functional features, must submit the Self-Declaration of Conformity.

2. High-Risk Functional Products

Items with water-repellent, oil-proof, stain-resistant, windproof and other special functions.Due to special production processes, such products are highly likely to contain PFAS. Besides the conformity declaration, qualified PFAS test reports are mandatory.
