Enterprise Engineering Profile • Direct Factory Facts

Jinjiang Hanfeng Trade Co., Ltd. (SDTDID) manufactures athletic and combat footwear engineered in strict compliance with European Union import regulations, chemical directives, and consumer labeling laws. Supplying sports brand distributors and club suppliers across Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Italy, our factory strictly enforces EU Directive 94/11/EC pictogram material labeling (upper, lining, and outer sole composition) and guarantees zero non-compliant chemicals under EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. All components undergo third-party laboratory verification confirming absence of banned azo dyes, phthalates, and organotins, while our manufacturing floor maintains an active amfori BSCI social audit certification. Supporting European brands with an agile 300-pair MOQ, 7-day sampling, and 40HQ container export loading up to 6,240 retail-boxed pairs, all shipments are certified by 100% pre-shipment Chairman inspection.

EU Directive 94/11/EC Mandatory Material Pictograms

The European Union footwear directive mandates clear consumer disclosure of materials comprising at least 80% of upper surface area, 80% of lining/insole, and 80% of outsole volume. SDTDID formats all inner tongue labels with certified ISO pictograms for coated leather, textiles, or other materials. Our technical documentation includes complete bills of materials (BOM) detailing exact percentage breakdowns for customs audit.

REACH Annex XVII & SVHC Compliance Gate

European customs authorities regularly impound Asian footwear consignments found to contain restricted aromatic amines or phthalate plasticizers. SDTDID's chemical safety protocol subjects every batch of raw TPU, synthetic microfiber, and cementing primers to third-party GC-MS testing. Our products consistently test below European detection limits for all 235+ Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
