Unveil The White Paper On The Quality Of Down Garments

In recent years,

Domestic inspection system for Down garments

Reporter: what is the inspection system of the down garments in China?

Yue Ji: now the state can check down the down clothing professional institutions: Shanghai's national clothing quality supervision and inspection center, Xiaoshan's national feather and down products quality supervision and inspection center, recently, Chengdu has set up a national feather and down products quality supervision and inspection center.

The export of more professional commodity inspection includes: Xiaoshan entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, Jiangsu Wuxi entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau and so on.

Among them, the Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou is "the capital of Chinese down" and has a large number of inspection resources.

Now, there are more than 300 down enterprises in Xiaoshan. The brands of "Liu Qiao feather", "Jinhong three bird", "Hua Long" and "SEER Mei" are all Xiaoshan. The export of down and down products has accounted for 44% of the domestic market and 23% of the international market.

Therefore, an authoritative and reliable third party detection platform is indispensable.

At present, Xiaoshan implements the registration system in the export down enterprises, and has achieved great results.

Chengdu's national feather and down products quality supervision and inspection center is prepared by the Sichuan Fiber Inspection Bureau. At present, it has the inspection ability of all down products represented by "washed down down", "down garments" and "down quilts".

Our center is also a professional organization for testing down garments and down products.

As far as business is concerned, business volume has increased this year compared with the same period last year.

Internationally speaking, the international feather and feather bureau is the highest administrative organization in the global down industry.

Generally speaking, professional inspection organizations for Down garments and down products will be equipped with "UV protection and sun protection tester", "universal material tester", "gas chromatography / mass spectrometer", "sweating moisture guide tester", "combustion performance testing machine", "shrinkage test machine", "high performance liquid chromatograph", "atomic absorption spectrophotometer" and other testing instruments.

Reporter: do you think there is any contradiction or relationship between the popularity of the down garment and the quality and safety?

Yue Ji: I think there is no necessary connection between the style of down garment and its quality.

It can not be said that the style is good, the quality is not good, or the quality is good, the style is not good, does not have this kind of inevitable relation.

Now, the consumer demand for Down garments has changed from "temperature + demeanor" to "demeanor + temperature". Nowadays, the down garments are becoming more and more casual, fashionable, personalized and sporty, with more and more styles and more and more novelty, but the quality situation has not changed accordingly.

It is the easiest problem to contain cashmere and cleanliness.

Interviewer: what are the important problems in the style and details of the down jacket in China?

Happy season: there are some routine checks for down eiderdown, such as cashmere content, fluffiness, oxygen consumption index, odor, cleanliness, and several bacterial tests related to down hygiene.

There are more problems involving the amount of cashmere and cleanliness.

Of course, all kinds of problems are possible. If flush washing is not clean and clean, there will be some problems. If it is not well handled, it may smell peculiar.

The first is to use inferior materials to impersonate down raw materials; the two is that the nominal amount of filling is not in conformity with the actual situation; the three is that the fluffiness of the down is not qualified; the four is that the down cleaning is not qualified.

For a quality and regular down garment product, the label should include factory name, color number, name, execution standard, filler and cashmere volume.

Reporter: what kind of clothing can be called a down jacket? What's the difference between duck and duck?

Happy season: there is a national standard for down coats - "GB/T14272-2002: Down garments".

According to the standard, the down garment is more than fifty percent.

Some famous brand down garments contain more than 80% cashmere, and twenty or thirty of them can not be called down garments.

Of course, the rules of each country will be very different.

For example, the United States requires clothing down down more than 75% content, in order to use the "down products" label.

It must be pointed out that the down jacket with high cashmere content has become the first choice for consumers.

Different from the national standard, the down garment brand with the top rank in the market is more than 90%, and the down garment with 50% down is basically eliminated. The purchase of down garments with high cashmere content has become the consensus of consumers.

Unlike many cotton clothes, the cost of raw materials for down coats is high. Therefore, in order to reduce costs, many manufacturers may fill duck clothing or chemical fibers in sealed clothes to deceive consumers.

Eiderdown is a processed duck feather. Because of its strong thermal insulation ability, it is widely used for keeping clothes warm.

Unlike duck feathers, eiderdown is only the little velvet flower on the front of a duck, and the duck feather covers the feathers around the duck.

In the quality inspection business, the amount of cashmere can be 50% as a down garment, but the eiderdown and stuffing must be sterilized to ensure that there is no peculiar smell.

In addition, the external fabric must be qualified, otherwise it will be prone to run down.

In the process of buying down garments, there are four ways to identify the quality: first, to see whether there are registered trademarks, product instructions, and at the same time pay attention to the appearance and sewing quality of the products; two, feel whether the soft feel of the down jacket and the complete small fur; three, press the fabric to be fluffy and have a certain degree of resilience; four, smell whether the down jacket has fishy smell or smell.

Down price soaring up to 260 thousand yuan / ton

Reporter: can you predict this year's down market and overall quality?

Yue Ji: last winter was relatively cold, and lasted for a long time, so the sales of down jacket last year is better. It is possible that many manufacturers' previous backlog products have also digested a lot, so this year's production of down garments may increase.

From the end of 2008 to the beginning of 2009, the price of the white duck (90% white eiderdown, the price less than the duckling and the duckling price) is less than ninety thousand of the price of the white duck. The price of the white duck is eighty thousand or ninety thousand or so. It has risen to 23. 4 million now.

It can be seen that the demand for down is increasing, besides down garments, down underwear and down quilts.

In fact, the increase in demand and the rise in prices are actually some potential disadvantages for Down garments, and some manufacturers may be hot headed.

As we all know, feather and down industries are all made to rely on the weather. When the weather is cold, they sell well and the weather is relatively hard to sell.

For example, in the warm winter of 2006, many factories were overloaded with goods, resulting in a lot of backlog products, and some factories went bankrupt.

Reporter: specifically, what advice do you have for the internal quality management of down garment enterprises?

Happy season: every feather and down enterprise should be started from the source. Your media should also guide them from this angle and prevent them from happening.

Starting from the source, we should grasp every link and ensure the overall quality. Instead of waiting for the finished product to check the quality, it may lead to a mend.

There are many links in the manufacture of feather and down products. Enterprises should not only grasp a link, but also grasp the overall aspects of clothing, including raw materials, cloth, feather and so on.

We hope that the media can guide enterprises from these perspectives so as to produce down products that meet national standards and consumers' real needs.

Related links: before the down jacket purchase, "play, beat, smell"

"Bomb".

Take down the down coat and cover it again. If it is springback quickly, it shows that the bulkiness is good and the amount of cashmere is high. Otherwise, the springback will be bad and carry heavy feeling on the hand.

"Beat".

The down coat should be well protected against drilling, and pat to see if there is plush drilling. If there is a lot of plush drilling, it shows that the fabric is not velvet proof.

However, because of the smoothness of eiderdown, a very small amount of fluffy silk spills from silk threads is a normal phenomenon.

"Smell".

Close to the down jacket, breathe deeply and smell, such as fishy smell and other pungent smell can not be bought.

In addition, when choosing, you should pay attention to whether the logo on the down jacket is complete. Check the factory name, site, material content of the fabric, the type of feather and down and the amount of cashmere (generally 70% or more).
