Shenzhen Inspection And Quarantine Bureau Destroyed A Number Of Imported Unqualified Garments

Recently, Shenzhen

It is understood that the batch of garments entered the entrance to the Man Kam to port. After inspection and quarantine, the inspectors found that the pH value of the water extract was 8.5 in a men's slacks, which was not in line with the requirements for the B products in the basic safety technical specification for National Textiles (GB18401-2003) (4.0-7.5).

Shenzhen inspection and Quarantine Bureau requires enterprises to conduct technical treatment of unqualified garments according to law. However, after sampling inspection, the pH value of the water extract of the garments is 7.8, which still does not meet the standard limit requirement.

In addition, the imported garment labels are incomplete and non-standard, which do not conform to GB5296.4-1998 (consumer product instructions).

The pH value is determined by chemical analysis of the intensity of a substance's acidity and alkalinity, and pH is also a safety index for textiles. According to the current national GB18401-2003 standard, the pH value of textile products for infants and children directly exposed to skin should be controlled at 4 to 7.5, and the pH value of textile products with direct contact with skin should be controlled at 4 to 9.

If the pH value exceeds this range, the textile will not only affect the performance of the textile itself, but also contact with the human body for a long time, which will damage the weak acidic environment of the human skin, cause skin itching, allergy, inflammation, and even damage the sweat glands and nervous system of the human body, reduce the resistance of the skin, make the bacteria more easily invade the body and affect the health of the human body.
