There are new changes in 8 aspects.

Reporter: compared with the 2003 edition, 2010 edition standard What are the major changes?

Sun Ximin: changes are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The scope of application of the standard: the scope of application of the 2010 edition of the standard adds "household", delete "use", "other than the agreement between the two sides of supply and demand", applies to the production, sale, consumption and household textile products which are produced and sold in our country, and is more comprehensive and accurate. Appendix A lists 13 categories of textile products that do not belong to the new standard category (3 new items, such as A.11 disposable sanitary products, A.12 bags, back bags, shoes, umbrellas, A.13 carpets, etc.).

Textile products for infants and young children: first, the age of application of infants and young children is modified from 24 months to 36 months, and 3.3 infant textile products are defined as "textile products worn or used by infants aged 36 months or less." The two is to adjust the applicable height of infants from 80cm to 100cm, that is, in the 5.3 article, "note: products that are generally suitable for infants under 100cm and below can be used as textile products for infants and young children". But it should be noted that the precondition for judging infant products is the object of the product, not the height range. The height range is only an auxiliary definition condition. Three, the safety requirements of infant textile products are category a requirements, and all the safety and technical indicators are strictly B and C.

Product classification: to avoid confusion between product classification and product safety technical requirements, two concepts will be classified, and the 2010 edition will be standardized. Original standard The product classification is modified by A, B and C codes and text descriptions to be categorized directly by word description, that is, infant textile products, textile products directly contacting the skin, and textile products that do not directly contact the skin. The basic safety and technical requirements are still classified as group A, B and C.

The pH value of class B: taking into account the requirements of water quality and resource conservation in China, the 2010 edition standard revised the pH value of B from 4.0~7.5 to 4.0~8.5.
