　　 Product Brief

In our country, uniforms for students are commonly worn as students' daily wear, and the school has a certain degree of compulsion on the management and requirements of students. The quality of school uniforms, especially safety indicators, is directly related to the health of every student.

In order to standardize the production order of students' school uniforms, ensure the quality and safety of school uniforms, strengthen supervision, management and inspection of the purchase of school uniform group, focus on combating counterfeit and shoddy and non-standard operations, etc., in recent years, the fiber inspection departments at all levels have strengthened the special supervision and inspection and spot check of the product quality of students' school uniform production enterprises in accordance with the relevant regulations and requirements of the General Administration of quality supervision and inspection and the Bureau of Chinese textile industry. At present, the market of student uniforms is maturing, the quality and safety index of school uniforms have been significantly improved, the industrial environment of school uniforms has been gradually improved, and the group buying of school uniforms has been increasingly standardized.

Key indicators

At present, the mandatory national standards related to the quality of school uniforms in China are mainly GB18401-2003 "basic technical specifications for national textile products", GB5296.4-1998 "instructions on the use of textiles and clothing for consumer goods," and other related standards. The key product inspection items specified in the standard include the identification of school uniform, fiber content, formaldehyde content, pH value, prohibited azo dyes, water fastness, dry rubbing fastness, wet and rubbing fastness, acid and alkali fastness, color fastness to washing, the change of water washing scale and the strength of trousers. In addition, the standard combination involves the main indicators of safety, formaldehyde content and pH value. The classification of products is classified, and the formaldehyde content and pH value of different categories are defined.

　　 Existing problems

1. the problem of defective product identification is widespread. Because school uniform products are usually ordered by schools instead of students and production enterprises, their products do not need to be sold through the market. Most production enterprises do not label them according to standard requirements, which are misleading and deceptive to consumers. In the past two years, the results of spot checks showed that the problem of unqualified product identification accounted for a relatively large proportion of spot checks, and even some school uniform products did not have any correctly labeled contents, which reflected the serious lack of awareness of the importance of labels for school uniform producers and sellers, and lack of initiative and consciousness for strict implementation of standards. They did not conform to GB5296.4-1998's "consumer goods instructions, textiles and clothing instructions" and the corresponding product standard requirements.

2. the problem of formaldehyde content exceeding standard is outstanding. Over the past few years, most of the fabrics used for school uniforms are made of pure cotton, polyester cotton or purified fiber. The main problem of pure cotton fabric clothing is shrinkage, but it does not affect the safety of use. However, polyester fabrics have many problems such as no sweat absorption, poor air permeability and formaldehyde content. Excessive formaldehyde content will have a great impact on the safety of use.

The 3. part is about the quality of school uniforms. Because the production enterprises generally have the problem of weak quality consciousness, and in pursuit of their own economic interests, and achieve the goal of low cost and high profit, some enterprises in the production process use cheap and thin fabric, resulting in their underwear hidden in the process of wearing, once being transmitted to transparent school uniforms on campus. {page_break}

  Shopping Tips

First, when ordering school uniform products, schools should purchase products that are regular and qualified. When signing the school uniform purchase contract with the school uniform production enterprise, the quality requirements of the uniforms, especially the internal quality requirements, should be clearly and carefully written into the contract terms, which is not only a constraint to the enterprises, but also a strong basis for handling quality problems.

The two is to check the school uniform seriously. In addition to the appearance, the quality inspection and acceptance of school uniform should be paid attention to, and production enterprises can be required to provide product inspection / inspection reports issued by authoritative bodies (including product safety indicators and product wearability indicators), or professional fiber inspection institutions should be sampled for inspection.

Three is to remind the majority of students, the new school uniform should be washed and then used. Because washing can improve the pH value exceeding the standard of the product, protect the human skin better, and wash away the residual formaldehyde in the fabric. At the same time, it can wash off the floating color of all or most products and reduce the possibility of excessive color fastness.

Four, if students wear school uniforms, if there is skin irritation and itch, they should be promptly reflected to the school and deal with it. If there are serious quality problems, we must complain to the departments concerned and deal with them through administrative supervision.
