Formal Implementation Of The First Infant Clothing Standard
From October 1st onwards, China Header Specifically for infants (aged 24 months or less) Clothing safety The industry standard, infant clothing standard (FZ/T81014-2008), was formally implemented.
This is our country. Header The national standard formulated specifically for infant and young children's clothing safety. Infant clothing The terms of safety are mandatory. The implementation of this standard will standardize the production and sales market of infant clothing, and better protect children's health and safety.
In " Sanlu milk powder "Event" triggered the focus of attention on product quality in China. Clothing industry We must continue to strengthen the awareness of quality and safety, and do well in this people's livelihood industry on the basis of quality. Children's wear is the next step. Women's wear , Underwear After that, a new market force emerging rapidly in the field of clothing. In recent years, Chinese newborns The average birth rate has been maintained at around 15%, with 2~3 million newborns per day.
The rate of increase in births is analogous to the yearly increase in the number of children in the country. China will form a huge consumer market for children. With the growing demand for children's clothing and increasingly fierce competition in China, the formal implementation of the "infant clothing standard" will not only make infants, children and adults share a mandatory national safety standard for textiles, but will also have a huge catalytic effect on the reshuffle of children's clothing market.
Many mandatory provisions
The standard stipulates Infant clothing The terms and definitions, sizes, requirements, inspection, testing and classification rules, as well as the technical features of marking, packaging, pportation and storage; the main items involved are: appearance quality, washing size change rate, color fastness to washing, color fastness to saliva, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to water, rubbing fastness, sewing strength, buttons and other non removable accessories pull force. It can extract heavy metal content, fiber content deviation, formaldehyde content, pH value, decomposable aromatic amine dye and odor.
And past Children's clothing standard Compared to the new standard, clothing is clearly defined. Arsenic, copper and formaldehyde The specific standard of such content is to protect the mandatory provisions of infant physique. For example, the arsenic content should not exceed 0.2 mg / kg, copper content should not exceed 25 mg / kg, formaldehyde content must be less than or equal to 20 mg / kg.
In addition, considering the infant skin is more delicate than adults, the national standard limits the pH value between 4 and 7.5, and prohibits the decomposition of aromatic amine dyes, and there is no smell.
Because infants like to pull clothes and bite clothes, if the infant clothing formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, it will cause harm to infant health.
Therefore, the new standard clearly stipulates that infants and young children clothes Neckline, Hat side It is not allowed to use rope, and the length of the rope must not exceed 14 cm. The embroidery or manual sewing decoration does not allow flashing chips and granular beads or touches. It is particularly emphasized that dry cleaners may contain substances that stimulate the skin of infants and young children. Therefore, infant clothing must be marked "not dry cleaned" on the label.
Market pass rate is worrying.
Although the "infant clothing standard" has been formally implemented since October 1st, it is embarrassing that few people understand this new standard, and the quality and safety of children's clothing is still worrying. Parents choose clothes for their children. They can only carry out the principle of "expensive is right" by feeling and experience.
2006, Guangdong. Carcinogenic children's clothing The incident is still worrying. 2 years ago, now Children's wear Market quality and safety are still worrying.
In November this year, the Wuhan industrial and commercial department conducted a spot check on the infant clothing market in Hanzheng Street, the largest clothing wholesale market in Central China. A total of 46 infant clothing stores were inspected. According to the requirements of the "infant clothing standard", only 4 sold infant clothing accords with the new standard, and the pass rate is less than 10%. The main non conformities are: decomposable aromatic amine dyes, pH value, moisture fastness to rubbing fastness, colour fastness to washing, fiber content and product identification.
而今年以來,深圳、廣州、遼寧等地區的童裝市場抽查,同樣顯示出合格率低的現象。尤其是面向農村的批發市場,合格率更低的令人擔心。11月5日,因金屬項鏈鉛含量超標,國內一童裝被美國消費品安全委員會實施自愿性召回。在外貿出口形勢趨緊的當前,因質量問題產品被召回,無疑是對企業沉重的打擊。
Standards are difficult to carry out
Why has the standard of infant clothing been implemented, and the pass rate of products is still so low? "There are many reasons." A staff member of the quality inspection department said. The reasons for the poor children's clothing market are the increase in production costs, the lack of convergence between the upstream and downstream industries, the lack of temporary popularization of the new standards, and the lack of knowledge about the quality and safety of the people.
"The quality and safety of large enterprises and big brands should be better," the person in charge said. But small and medium-sized enterprises produce more products. This is not a problem that can be solved by a single effort. It requires the joint efforts of the upstream and downstream manufacturers, such as fabric, printing and dyeing, accessories and so on. At present, we have begun to strengthen the monitoring of raw and auxiliary materials, and re-examine the safety of children's clothing design.
Environmental protection green is becoming more and more popular among the people. The safety of children's clothing is a matter of concern to the whole society. The communication and coordination work with the upstream industry will also be strengthened in the future. For example, prohibition of decomposable aromatic amine dyes requires strict requirements for dyeing plants to be carried out in dyeing process, and the accessories provided by accessories manufacturers must meet the requirements of the new standards.
另一個問題,則是新標準實施遭遇短路。記者走訪了北京多家童裝銷售中心,大部分經營戶只在媒體上看到過《嬰幼兒服裝標準》的出臺,并沒有接到官方和廠方的文件通知,還有些經營戶根本就不知道有標準出臺。而對于標準具體內容是什么,也知之甚少。“這個新《標準》應該是針對生產廠家的吧?”不少經營戶都存在這樣的疑問。其實,大部分商場、經營戶、消費者、企業對《嬰幼兒服裝標準》并不知情,這也是行業標準出臺后普遍面臨的尷尬。一位參與標準制定的專業人士告訴記者,新標準出臺,往往需要很長一段時間才能傳達到位,為生產企業和零售商所接受。
Positive measures are recommended.
When it comes to the difficulty of the implementation of the new standards, the authorities in the daily inspection and supervision found that the enterprises still attach importance to the health of infants and young children, but the importance of pH value is obviously not enough.
There are many reasons why the pH value of children's clothing is not up to standard. In the process of textile printing and dyeing, all kinds of agents are not fully washed, and all kinds of finishing agents added in the process of washing are not standardized. If the fabric is not fully washed after printing and dyeing, it will be dried out or not take certain measures to neutralize the fabric, which will cause the pH value of the fabric to exceed the standard.
In order to improve the pass rate of infant clothing, experts suggest that enterprises should strengthen their training work for relevant personnel, promote their correct understanding of standards and correct use of new standards, avoid human factors causing color fastness and unqualified pH value; at the same time, introduce new technologies, new processes and new methods, but also use green dye and advanced finishing technology as far as possible; also provide necessary testing instruments and equipment, and strengthen testing personnel training; suppliers should be required to produce test reports for raw and auxiliary materials, and samples of raw materials and auxiliary materials purchased at regular intervals or irregularly should be sent to authorities for testing and verification to ensure that infant clothing meets the requirements of new standards.
Experts also remind enterprises that infant clothing has always been a sensitive area in the clothing market.
Unlike other categories of clothing, infant clothing must first consider safety factors, and safety standards are the top priority of infant clothing management. The implementation of the "infant clothing standard" will bring the children's clothing industry into a new development period.
