Infant clothing will have industry standards. Reporters yesterday from the Dongguan inspection and Quarantine Bureau was informed that "infant clothing standards" implementation, then, heavy metal residues exceeding the standard, pH value does not meet the relevant standards and safety design and other aspects of unqualified baby garments will not be sold.

A number of standards are "harsh".

"The implementation of this standard will standardize the production and sales market of infant clothing and clothing, and better protect children's health and safety." According to the Dongguan inspection and Quarantine Bureau, this is the first national industrial standard formulated specifically for the safety of infant clothing and clothing, and all clauses concerning infant and young children's clothing safety are mandatory.

It is understood that the standard is mainly aimed at the characteristics of infants and young children in pulling clothes and biting clothes, and has formulated mandatory provisions specifically for the protection of infant safety, such as the size of the collar, the unfastener of the zipper, the length and strength of the rope and the residue of heavy metals.

The standard first specified the quantitative indicators. The content of extractable heavy metals in infant clothing and clothing can not exceed 0.2 mg per kilogram, and copper should not exceed 25 mg per kilogram. The formaldehyde content most concerned by parents must be less than or equal to 20 mg per kilogram.

Considering that infants' skin is more delicate than adults, the standard limits the pH value between 4 and 7.5, and prohibits the decomposition of aromatic amine dyes, and no peculiar smell exists. In addition, the "standards" also stressed that because dry cleaners may contain substances that stimulate infants and young children's skin, infant clothing must be marked "not dry cleaned" on the label.

Standards will enhance industry threshold

"Infant clothing has always been a sensitive area in the clothing market." Dongguan inspection and Quarantine Bureau official pointed out that infant clothing is different from other categories of clothing, the first thing to consider is the safety factor, safety standards are the top priority of infant clothing business.

It is reported that at present, there are hundreds of manufacturers of infant clothing in Dongguan, and about more than 80 of them have export business (about 14 specialized in making infant clothing). In the first half of this year, the export volume is more than 15 million dollars. Yong Lian weaving, Tianxiang, Hui Mei, Jin Yuan and Fucheng are all well-known enterprises in the foreign trade industry.

"Standards will enhance the industry threshold." Dongguan famous children's clothing enterprise rabbit character related people believe that, according to this standard, at present many domestic infant clothing is unqualified products, after the implementation of standards, many enterprises are facing challenges in raw materials, technology, etc., the industry will carry out a round of shuffle.

In this regard, the inspection and Quarantine Department reminded the production and operation of infant clothing to be actively familiar with and respond to new standards. If we want to strengthen the training of relevant personnel, promote their correct and standard use, avoid human factors causing color fastness, pH value is not qualified; at the same time, when introducing new technologies, new processes and new methods, we should use green dye and advanced finishing process as far as possible. In addition, equipped with the necessary testing equipment, strengthen the detection of raw and auxiliary materials to ensure that infant clothing meets the new requirements of green environmental protection.

Reminder

Keep your eyes open when you buy clothes for your baby.

The standard of infant clothing is so "harsh", but it is inevitable that there will be "workshop clothes" that do not meet the standards in the market. So, what matters should parents pay attention to for their children?

First of all, should carefully check the label of clothing, check whether the metal accessories of the clothes have the burrs that the children can touch, whether the edge tips are sharp, whether the zipper pull heads can not be detached, and the front openings of trousers should not be fastened with buttons, while the neckband cap has no strings, and the length of the strings on the finished products should not exceed 14 centimeters.

Second, do not buy infants' clothing with too bright colors to avoid harmful substances such as decomposable aromatic amines. It is also best not to buy clothes that are specially prepared, such as ironing and softening, because they are likely to have higher formaldehyde content.
