Product Brief

1.pH value.

It is a measure of the acid-base level of children's clothing.

The pH value is beyond the standard range. Too high or too low will destroy the balance of the skin surface and cause allergic dermatitis and other diseases easily.

2. formaldehyde content.

The national standard stipulates that the formaldehyde content of infant clothing should not be higher than 20mg/kg, the formaldehyde content of direct contact with skin clothing should not be higher than 75mg/kg, and the formaldehyde content of non direct contact skin clothing should not be higher than 300mg/kg.

3. decomposable aromatic amine dyes.

It is a kind of toxic and harmful dye to human body. Under the condition of reduction, the aromatic amine composition that can be decomposed is harmful to human body.

The national mandatory standards prohibit the use of 23 kinds of decomposable aromatic amine dyes.

4. color fastness.

It is an important quality index to measure the dyeing performance of children's clothing, mainly indicating the degree of fading of clothing.

It is easy to fade with low color fastness and high color fastness.

5. heavy metal content.

According to the national standard, heavy metals in clothing fabrics are mainly examined: antimony, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, chromium (six valence), cobalt, copper, nickel, mercury, etc., and heavy metals exceeding standards are liable to cause poisoning, which can affect the intelligence development of children.

6. fiber content.

It refers to the composition and content of fabric material.

The national standard specifies the limit of fiber content deviation.

7. safety features such as belt.

The national standard stipulates the safety specifications for children's clothing, rope, buttons, and the implementation specifications for the materials, design and production. It requires reasonable design and should not cause accidental injury.

First, observe the appearance.

When choosing children's clothing, it is necessary to check the labels on the clothes first, and to see the trademarks on the products, the factory names, the logo, the logo, the washing instructions, the certificate, the standard number, the quality grade and the safety category.

The qualified children's clothing should be complete and standardized.

Two, smell.

When opening the package, you can smell it and see if it has any pungent odor.

Some clothes due to additives in the post processing process will cause formaldehyde content and pH value to exceed the standard, resulting in a pungent odor. Some of them may have odor, smell of gasoline and toxic smell due to improper storage or packaging contamination.

The three is to check the fabric texture.

First, feel the texture of the fabric with touch. Children's clothing fabric should be hygroscopic, breathable and soft. Next, check the fiber content of the clothing, identify the fabric composition, and identify the material of the fabric with the combustion method. Under normal circumstances, use fire to ignite, smell its taste, observe the state of flame and the shape of the remnant. The hair, cashmere and silk have burning hair smell. After the cotton and linen are white or gray ashes, most of the remnants of synthetic fiber are hard lumps.

For infants and young children, it is better to choose pure cotton clothing, and the color should be mild and light.

The four is to distinguish rope safety.

In the purchase of children's clothing, carefully identify the safety of rope, belt, button and so on, and have no sharp objects.
