Garment Quality Inspection: Keep The Last Line Of Defense.

The melamine incident in 2008 made the public "suddenly realize": originally, there were so many "exemption" products in China.

Why can they be exempt from inspection?

Who will define which products can be exempt from inspection?

Perhaps, clothing is not like food, the harm to the human body is not so obvious and rapid.

However, its potential harm is self-evident and more concealment.

There used to be a white-collar woman who felt tired all the time and began to think that she was tired from work. She had to rest for some time to adjust, though it was relieved, but there was no fundamental solution.

A health expert came to her home to check her "cause". Finally, she found the answer in the wardrobe: originally, the white collar worked in a foreign company and wore a suit every day.

In addition, Nie Fengming, deputy director of the technical quality assurance room of Guangzhou fiber products testing institute, said that some garment manufacturers in order to save costs, in the production of ironing clothes, in order to make fabrics not wrinkled, the use of formaldehyde containing finishing agent, in the production of quality control on the oversight, causing some clothing formaldehyde exceeding the standard.

Experts suggest that formaldehyde is easier to dissolve in water, so when new clothes, especially children's clothing, are bought home, it is best to rinse them with water.

Experts say four kinds of textiles contain formaldehyde easily.

One is ironing clothes, the other two is trendy jeans, three is children's clothing, and four is the clothes stored in wood-based panel furniture.

Formaldehyde mainly comes from cheap dyes and auxiliaries, so try not to buy wrinkle resistant products.

"We'd better keep a mind when buying clothes. After wrinkle resistant clothing and pattern printing, it feels very hard. The clothes with pungent smell are best not to buy.

Don't rush to buy clothes to go home. You'd better rinse them with water or dry them for one or two days.

Consumers Association experts said.

These opinions and suggestions are good from the original intention. They hope that consumers will try their best to save themselves when quality control is not in place.

However, consumers do not fully identify the obligations, quality problems, first, enterprise self-discipline, two, we need to strengthen supervision.

Wang Baojun, director of the national cotton textile product quality supervision and inspection center, said: "although clothing products have mandatory national standards, there is no mandatory entry system in the clothing market, so merchants will not inspect every batch of products."

Wang Baojun pointed out that the main reason is that our country has not yet established a market access system for clothing products.

Before going to the counter, the mall will also issue inspection documents, but it does not require that every batch of products be supplied.

The author recently attended a lecture session organized by the American Consumer Product Safety Association, which is very inspiring.

On the afternoon of June 20th, reporters at the China Textile inspection center participated in the "American children's wear safety briefing" sponsored by the consumer goods case Committee (CPSC). At the meeting, officials of Patricia, China's project director, CPSC, and director of field investigation, Dennis Blatthew, detailed the new standards of the American children's wear, and answered the questions of the participating enterprises.

"On the children's coat that is exported to the United States, the collar and the neck can not be pulled out; when the waist or hem of the coat of 2T size 16 is fully opened, the length of the exposed cord at the waist or lower hem must not exceed 75MM; the waist can be buttoned with knots, knots or other accessories at the waist.

Bittner said.

The reason for this is that not long ago, an American schoolboy came home on the school bus. When he got off the train, the bar button of his coat was clamped by the door. The driver did not find it in time. He drove the car off when he closed the door, causing the child to be seriously injured by the car.

Before, there were also suffocating incidents for children because of the hat and rope of their coats. Therefore, the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States held a special lecture in Beijing.

At present, China is the main importer of clothing in the United States. According to us customs statistics, 41% of imported garments came from China in 2010.

At the briefing, CPSC personnel asked for rope and accessories for children's wear.

Moreover, it is necessary to punish illegal enterprises. In this respect, the Consumer Product Safety Association of the United States has absolute authority, and no enterprise or individual has immunity.

"Over the past 2009-2011 years, more than 520 thousand children's coat jackets made in China were recalled.

Since 2007, 41 companies have been fined $3 million 350 thousand for breach of regulations. "

Dennis Blasius said.

According to the introduction, the "Consumer Product Safety Commission" is located in Maryland, plus a total of only 200 staff.

However, these 200 people are in charge of consumer safety issues in the United States.

What can we learn from the government and the regulatory system that are so diligent and efficient in the United States?
