EU Textiles Labelling Regulation 1007/2011 requires: (1) fibre composition labelling in official EU language(s) of country of sale, (2) correct use of fibre names (e.g., 'cotton' only for 100% cotton), (3) indication of non-textile parts (buttons, zips), (4) country of manufacture ('Made in India').

What is the EU MRL and how do I ensure compliance?

Maximum Residue Level (MRL) is the maximum legally permitted level of pesticide residue in or on food in the EU. EU MRLs are often stricter than Codex Alimentarius standards. To ensure compliance: (1) check EU MRLs for your product and specific pesticides on the EU Pesticides Database (ec.europa.eu/pesticides), (2) use only EU-authorised pesticides during cultivation, (3) test your product at an EU-accredited laboratory (or Indian NABL-accredited lab with EU standard methods) before export, (4) keep test certificates for at least 5 years. EU Border inspection posts (BIPs) routinely test Indian agro-food for MRL compliance.
