Infant Clothing August New National Standard

New state compulsory since August 1st standard The national basic safety technical specification for textile products will be put into effect, and infant clothing standards will also be improved in the new regulation. According to the introduction, the new standard has changed the definition of infant clothing from 24 months to 36 months or less, and to infants and young children. clothing Acid perspiration, saliva and other related regulations were also made.

It is understood that the new version of the specification, which will be implemented in August 1st, will change the definition of infant clothing from 24 months to less than 36 months and below. At the same time, the state also stipulates the water resistance (discoloration, stain), acid perspiration, alkali resistant perspiration, dry and dry rubbing, and saliva resistance of infant clothing. After reaching the standard, infant clothing can directly touch the skin of infants and young children. It will not easily cause dermatitis due to the discomfort of pH value. After the improvement of color fastness, the color fastness to saliva will also escalate. Even if the clothes are contained in the mouth of children, they will not cause damage to the body due to fading.

Tianjin clothing trade association staff said that after the implementation of the new code, parents should first look at clothes for infants and young children to buy clothes. Label Whether there is a type-I, the words of infant clothing, clothes that are not clearly identified are harmful to the health of infants and young children. At the same time, parents should try their best to reduce clothes that are too bright to avoid harmful substances such as decomposable aromatic amines, which endanger children's health.

In the face of the new specification that will be implemented in August 1st, the present situation of infant clothing in this city will also be "shuffled". Reporters visited a number of shopping malls in the city special stores and infant supplies stores understand that at present, children under 1 years of age are wearing more than 95% clothing, in line with safety type A; 1-2 year old baby clothing 40% of the B standard; 2-3 year old baby clothing 90% is identified as B category or safety level slightly lower C category. "Babies are generally class A, and underwear for two or three year olds is also the same, but the general grades of coats and hats will be lower." Children's wear salesmen.

Wang Chunhong, associate professor of textile materials and textile design research at Tianjin University of Technology, said: "with the implementation of the new standard, manufacturers will have an impact on the production and sale of infant garments and textile products. In the new version of the code, upgrading B products to class a products requires reducing formaldehyde content, reducing the range of pH value and improving the color fastness, that is, the color fastness to saliva and dry rubbing is increased from 3 to 4. These conditions have made more stringent control over the production of enterprises. And some of the dyes will be banned in the new edition, which requires manufacturers to actively search for or develop new green alternatives. The above standards upgrading and changes will increase the production cost of manufacturers, and whether the increase of production cost will drive the sales price of the entire product chain to rise. The experts of the China clothing association said, "whether the price of infant clothing products will be improved is uncertain."
