The European market supervisory authority often receives notifications for children's clothing strings and straps being entangled with bicycles, doors, doors, or playground equipment, resulting in serious injuries or deaths.

Traffic accidents statistics also show that such accidents can be divided into two categories according to age: in 1., young children died of suffocation due to a rope tied to their necks.

2. straps and bands on children's waist or lower parts are stuck on moving vehicles, such as bus doors, ski elevators, bicycles, etc., dragged or injured by running vehicles or cause death.

To this end, the European Union requires manufacturers, distributors, importers and retailers to ensure that their children's clothing strings and straps comply with the EN 14682:2007 European standards or provide relevant safety grade certificates.

The following suggestions are made for parents and care.

1, for children under 7 years old (1.34 meters below height), there should be no strings and girdle on the neck and head.

2. For children's clothing from 7 to 14 years old, no more than 7.5 centimeters of string can be found on the neck and head. Apart from the shoulder girdle, the string should not be flexible.

3, children's clothing chest and waist should not have more than 14 cm at one end of the string.

4, there should be no knot string on the head and neck of the neck garment.

The bandage of children's clothing should be in the front, not more than 36 cm in length.

5, if the garments purchased do not meet the above requirements, in order to ensure safety, they can dismantle, cut or cut off the rope bands, or report them to the local market supervision department.

Joint operation of children's clothing distribution and ribbon in EU

The European market supervisory authority has carried out a joint action on the wiring and ribbon of children's clothing.

The joint action was inspired by the annual monitoring plan of Austria and Estonia market regulators.

This year they plan to start market action on this type of product.

Under the coordination of the European product safety implementation Forum (PROSAFE), representatives from the national authorities and other relevant agencies of the EU Member States regularly participate in joint operations to reduce the sale of children's clothing with unsafe wiring and ribbon in the EU market.

In the two phase of the strengthening of market surveillance (EMARS) plan, the purpose of the wiring and joint action plan is to identify best practices and acquire technical experience that allows so many member states to link up to monitor operations.

Objectives include, for example:

Promote a unified approach to market monitoring and implementation of safety requirements for children's clothing wiring and ribbon.

Promote cooperation with the market supervision department and the State Customs.
