Inspection and supervision results showed that the quality and safety of imported garments were worrying, and the annual unqualified detection rate was 10.2%, of which 861 batches were returned or destroyed due to the failure of safety items.

In 2011, the national entry and exit

The test results showed that in all kinds of quality and safety problems, the safety and composition index of imported clothing were not very qualified, and the color fastness and ingredient identification were not consistent. The pH value exceeded the standard and became the "worst hit area". They were 776 cases, 454 cases and 371 cases, accounting for 46.5%, 27.2% and 22.2% of the total number of unqualified samples.

Other unqualified items also involve formaldehyde content exceeding standard, banned azo dye unqualified, 60 cases and 7 cases respectively.

In view of the quality and safety problems of imported garments, AQSIQ reminds consumers that the following aspects should be paid attention to when choosing imported garments, so as to safeguard their health and safety:

First, we need to understand the mandatory standards for imported garments in China.

At present, our country aims at

The two is to understand the possible hazards of imported clothing.

In the process of production, clothing, such as printing and dyeing, requires various chemical agents such as dyes and auxiliaries to be added to the production process. However, due to inadequate rinsing in the finishing process, some harmful substances will remain on the textile fabric, resulting in formaldehyde and pH values of the final products which are not up to the standard requirements.

Clothing is not like food, the harm to human body is not so obvious and rapid, but its potential harm is self-evident and more concealment.

Long term exposure to clothing that is not qualified by above indicators will cause the natural barrier of skin surface to be damaged, which will cause imperceptible damage to skin and mucous membrane, and destroy skin acid-base balance, which may cause cancer.

It is suggested that the imported garments should be washed with water in case of condition, especially underwear or infant clothing.

The three is to master the essential knowledge of buying imported garments.

The first is the identification of the origin labels of imported garments.

Look at the label on the label of the collar or the side seam of the side of the collar, which is made in China. For the imported clothing, you can also ask the dealer to provide relevant proof materials to distinguish the true and false; the two is to distinguish the smell from the clothes.

See if there is moldy, fishy smell, smell or odour, smell off, indicating excessive residual chemical reagents.

Three is the identification of clothing size.

Different countries and different brands have different ways of labeling the size of clothing. Consumers should first choose the right size according to the Chinese label, and the four is the identification of safety categories.

China's clothing safety categories are divided into three categories: A, B and C. When purchasing imported garments, we need to pay special attention to the labels on the Chinese labels.
