Component Children'S Wear Stumbling Block

Three items jointly approved by the State Administration of quality supervision and the State Administration of standardization

Children's wear

The national standard, namely "safety requirements for ropes and belts for children's wear", "Safety specifications for children's tops and belts" and "implementation standards for improving children's clothing design and production safety", have been formally implemented since August 1, 2009.

There is no doubt about this series.

standard

The introduction of China's children's clothing exports, as well as the domestic children's clothing market norms play a positive role in promoting.

However, after the promulgation and implementation of the three national standards, the market of children's wear in China did not appear to be ideal.

On the contrary, children's clothing exports again because of rope, tape, small parts and other unreasonable design, as well as safety projects unqualified by European and American countries, such as the United States, Finland, Bulgaria, Italy and other countries and regions frequently recalled.

The export of children's clothing has been voluntarily recalled, banned and withdrawn from the market, which has caused huge economic losses to Chinese enterprises, and has also caused extremely adverse effects on children's clothing industry in China.

In view of this situation, it is worth our deep thought that since our children's clothing production standards are mainly based on international standards, and the original standards are mainly focused on children's wear parts.

So, what is the reason why our children's clothing exports are once again frustrated? Why do small parts become a "stumbling block" on the road of children's clothing exports? This is a problem that should arouse the attention of the media, enterprises and relevant departments. From the perspective of industry development, it is also a problem that we urgently need to solve.

[review] competing against international standards

In recent years, children in the world

clothing

Because of unreasonable design and unqualified items of safety, such as rope, small parts and so on, notification, recall, withdrawal and withdrawal from the market happen frequently.

The safety performance of children's clothing, rope and small spare parts has become a growing concern in the developed countries, especially in Europe and America.

As a major producer and exporter of clothing in the world, China is keeping pace with the advanced international standards in the formulation of garment production standards.

In June 2009, the AQSIQ and the National Standardization Management Committee jointly approved the first three national standards for children's clothing, namely, "safety requirements for ropes and belts for children's wear", "Safety specifications for children's tops and belts" and "implementation standards for the design and production of children's garments to improve mechanical safety", which were formally implemented in August 1st of that year.

According to the location of children's clothing, this series of standards is divided into wind caps and neck, waist, clothing hem and sleeves. The technical standards for the production and production of children's ropes and belts are mainly specified.

It is understood that when selecting various contents, the drafting group of this series of standards actively adopts the advanced foreign standards, and fully communicate with enterprises, universities and related technical institutions in the light of the direction of standardization development in China. In light of the actual application situation, it mainly refers to the relevant technical data at home and abroad, such as the European standard EN 14682:2007 "safety requirements for ropes and belts for children's wear" (English version), and revisions to the contents of this series of standards.

Among them, this series of standards has made detailed provisions for the differences between young children, children and adolescents.

It is reported that this standard mainly specifies the safety specifications for children's clothing under the age of 14.

Among them, "children's wear rope and belt safety requirements" stipulates the safety requirements for using ropes and straps in children's clothing under the age of 14, but does not include the specifications for use of ropes and straps. The safety specification for children's tops and belts stipulates the safety specifications for children's clothing belts under the age of 14. The purpose is to reduce the risk of lash and vehicle towage caused by children's less clothing drawstring. However, the implementation specification for children's clothing design and production improvement of machinery safety stipulates the implementation specifications of materials, designs and production for children under 14 years of age, so as to improve the mechanical safety of children's clothing.

This series of standards is mainly for children's clothing due to small parts of the potential risk of accidents, and from the design, production, packaging, testing and other aspects of children's clothing production safety indicators.

As an important method standard, these 3 national standards constitute a series of safety standards for children's wear in China, and become an important component of the standard system of children's wear in China.

At the same time, in a sense, the introduction of this series of standards has played a certain role in promoting the export of children's clothing and the market of children's clothing in China.

[situation] small components failed to export children's clothing again frequently recalled.

Since August 1st, three national standards for children's wear have been formally implemented. So far, nearly a year has passed.

However, during this year, children's clothing market in China, especially children's clothing exports did not appear a harmonious situation.

On the contrary, because of unreasonable design of rope, belt, small parts, and unqualified safety items, children's clothing exports have been repeatedly recalled by European and American countries and regions. This has caused huge economic losses to Chinese enterprises. At the same time, under the circumstances of the financial crisis, the garment industry has added another layer of shadow to our clothing industry.

According to the global textile network, in March this year, the European Union announced 74 global recall information on children's clothing products, of which 38 originated from China, and the recall reasons involved violations of EN14682, EN71, REACH and other standards and regulations.

Among them, Coleboys brand baby pants and Finnwear brand swimming trunks were refused to be imported by the Spanish customs and the Finland customs respectively. The XiaoJiLing and Wanxiwa brand children's tops, Xinxinfashion and Xinyifashion brand sweaters were banned and sold out by Bulgaria due to the separation of components and the decease of decorations.

In April this year, in the European Union's announcement of the recall of children's clothing products, only 17 of our children's clothing were recalled because of the unqualified rope. The reason was that the rope was prone to suffocation or risk, which violated the EU EN14682 standard.

In May this year, the Chinese girl's Blackcat brand children's clothing was refused to be imported by the Spanish customs because of the long neck of the neck and the suffocation of the neck. In addition, Chinese Heb Ba/WISLA brand children's sweater and vest, Lemmi boy's jacket, girl's swimsuit such as BABY GAP, etc. were recalled by the countries such as Lithuania, Germany, Greece and so on because of the short or too long rope of the head and neck of clothes.

"After the formulation and promulgation of strict national standards, there is no reason for domestic children's clothing enterprises to grow up again and again on small parts."

According to the relevant staff of Henan clothing import and export Refco Group Ltd, before the implementation of the three national standards, the main reason for the frequent recall of children's clothing in China was the rope tied at the hat. Although the reason for the recall of children's clothing products in China after August is still the same old tune, it is also partly due to the recall of children's shoulders, waist, ankle bands or decorative strips.

Among them, the design of rope, belt and small parts is unreasonable.

"I think many domestic children's garments are exported.

enterprise

Just like us, in the face of the sudden recall notice, we have to endure the huge economic losses of the enterprises reluctantly, and feel puzzled and confused when facing the future development of the enterprises.

Because, we have been strictly in accordance with the mandatory standards of the exporting countries to produce, but in the strict quality of the situation again received the recall notice, we feel very bad.

One is direct and realistic economic losses. The two is that we are tired of coping with the rapidly changing standards and regulations abroad, and finally become a thankless grievance.

According to the person in charge of a children's clothing export enterprise in Zhengzhou, for a long time, due to the restriction of policies, many export businesses of garment enterprises in Zhengzhou which are not exported to processing areas can not be directly handled in Zhengzhou, and can only be exported to coastal cities for export.

In early 2009, Zhengzhou launched the policy of bonded logistics. Then, in February of that year, a number of children's garments valued at $58260 in Zhengzhou Tian Liang Clothing Co., Ltd. were successfully cleared in the export processing zone and exported directly to Panama, which can be said to be the first business in Zhengzhou's export processing zone.

However, the good times are not long! Although some restrictions have been lifted from the policy, it seems to have lifted the fetters for some export enterprises in Zhengzhou. But in the past two years, due to the impact of the economic crisis, foreign countries, especially the European Union countries and regions, have formulated different safety codes and guidelines for the safety risks of children's clothing in order to protect their own interests.

"These are these.

policy

After the formulation, it is not invariable, or rather very changeable, which is very unfavorable to our domestic children's clothing export enterprises.

Moreover, some foreign customers themselves are not familiar with their changeable technical regulations and standards, so sometimes the samples provided contain design defects.

We only know how to work hard according to the standards provided by foreign businessmen, and the result of our labor is just a lesson.

According to the person in charge, in May of this year, a group of 1/XXS size children's sports pants produced by a large children's clothing export enterprise in Suzhou were refused to import by the customs because the waist rope was against the European Union's EN 14682, resulting in direct economic losses of nearly US $100 thousand.

[analysis] quality and regulations should be discreet. Children's clothing production should be cautious.

"Decoupling of quality and regulations should be our country."

Children's wear

The main reason for frequent recall is, of course, it does not exclude the technical barriers taken by European and American countries to protect their own interests due to the economic crisis and their poor economic conditions.

Yesterday, the Henan entry-exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, a Liu Xing responsible reporter interviewed by telephone, said that at present, most of the children's clothing export enterprises in China accept the order business, that is, OEM commissioned the production, while the defects of foreign children's children's clothing design is a major reason for the large number of children's clothing recall.

"A lot in our country.

foreign trade

Enterprises simply think that they can only produce according to the requirements of foreign businessmen, and ignore whether the design of the product is in line with relevant foreign technical regulations.

It is because enterprises lack the necessary identification ability in this area, and when many enterprises sign contracts with foreign businessmen, they ignore the conformance of product design and the attribution of responsibilities.

Therefore, when the products are exported to foreign countries, they are rejected by the customs because they do not meet the relevant standards of foreign countries, thus causing huge economic losses to the enterprises.

Mr. Liu said that the reality of the repeated recall of children's clothing should give the domestic enterprises a wake-up call. If the financial crisis has not yet been eliminated, enterprises should enhance their sense of hardship, strengthen the learning of relevant laws and regulations at home and abroad, and improve the identification ability of product risks.

At the same time, children's clothing production should be strictly related to the relevant standards, especially children's parts production should be cautious and pay attention to product quality.

In addition, the state quarantine organization should also strengthen supervision and management of enterprises, actively publicize foreign technical regulations to enterprises, help enterprises improve their sense of risk, promote the overall quality improvement of children's clothing exported to China, and avoid frequent occurrence of recall events.
