The New National Standard Of Textile And Clothing Introduced The Class A Standard For Infant Clothing In August.

China will implement it from August.

All the technical contents of the new GB are mandatory, aiming at controlling the main toxic and harmful substances in textiles. The scope of infant clothing is extended from 24 months to 36 months, and all of these garments have to carry out a class a standard to protect infants' health.

Zhejiang textile test and Research Institute responsible person said, after that,

The prescribed range is less than 24 months, only 24 months for infants and young children to wear a clothing standard, and 24-36 months children's clothing does not have this requirement, many enterprises at this stage of the production of children's shirts, underwear and other implementation of the B standard, such as coat is C class standards.

Compared with class B and C, class a standards are more stringent in terms of formaldehyde, pH value and color fastness, which means that manufacturers are also more stringent in choosing fabrics and processes, and production costs should be improved accordingly.

Take formaldehyde as an example, class a standard requires formaldehyde content less than 20 mg / kg, class B standard is relaxed to less than 75 mg / kg, C class is relaxed to less than 300 mg / kg.

"A category a basically equal to formaldehyde can not be detected, some manufacturers can not use the production process, such as the ironing of shirts, the technology used in this technology may produce more formaldehyde."

The source said.

Considering that infants and young children often unconsciously put clothes and other objects in their mouths, if the resistance to saliva color fastness of the fabric is not up to standard, it will cause children to suffer from direct staining of staining residues, so the requirements of class a standards on saliva color fastness are greatly improved.

The chief executive of the WAN Shi Li group, which mainly produces infant clothing, said that the clothing of infants and young children is not a diminished version of adult clothing. The biggest difference between children's clothing and children's clothing is safety, so the children's clothing in 36 months has been carrying out class a standards.

In addition to the provisions for infant clothing, the new national standard, under the condition of reduction, the aromatic amines which are not allowed to be decomposed by the dye are increased from 23 to 24, and 4- amino azobenzene is added. At the same time, the maximum limit of the carcinogenic aromatic amine is specified to be 20 mg / kg, which is in line with the international practice.

It is reported that decomposable aromatic amine is mainly caused by dyestuffs of clothes, which is easy to decompose during the wearing process, and has the possibility of carcinogenesis and teratogenesis. The newly added 4- amino azobenzene is a kind of aromatic amine.

In April this year, Zhejiang industrial and commercial bank announced a number of South Korea.

A sample of Mayuzumi Ma's (Zhengzhou) Garments Co., Ltd., which sells the benzidine in the knitted jacket of "D modes modes poem", is one of the decomposable aromatic amine dyes. At that time, the amount of benzidine in the knitted jacket was 608 mg / kg.
