Upcoming Chinese Footwear Mandatory Standards

The China government will issue two mandatory footwear standards in the near future. One is safety technical specifications for infants’ and children’s footwear, and the other is general safety requirements for adults’ footwear. 

There will be an expected grace period of 24 months after the release date of the standards. Although both the old and new mandatory standards will be effective at the same time during this transition period, it is recommended that manufacturers carry out quality control according to the new standards. Once the grace period ends, all footwear in the market including inventories shall meet the requirements of the new standards.
