Quality Problems Frequent Children Wear Enterprises Trapped Testing Standards

On the eve of the June 1 children's day, the State Administration of quality supervision and quarantine sampled 200 children's clothing products, with an unqualified rate of 13%. However, the results of the comparative test of baby clothes released by Beijing Consumers Association show that more than 30% of the tested samples have quality problems. Paclantic Li Ying Fang, Mothercare and other famous brands are on the list. According to our reporter, these unqualified children's clothing products "sacked" are mainly due to pH value, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and moisture resistance color fastness and so on.

On the face of it, the State Administration of quality supervision and administration has been more optimistic about the official statistics of children's clothing sampling, but reporters found in the market survey that the fact is not so easy.

Guangdong is the largest in China. Children's wear Origin, in recent years, children's clothing inspection, there have been nearly 50% of the failure rate. Among them, the famous brand Beijing Parker blue limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as Parker Lane) was detected by the Beijing Consumers Association and the Shenzhen municipal market supervision and Administration Bureau respectively. The color fastness and pH value of the products were not qualified.

After investigating and understanding, reporters found that the low profit margins of children's wear industry led enterprises to pursue profits and neglect quality, while the supervision of local departments was seriously absent, which also made children's clothing quality and safety become a big problem in the industry.

　 There are two kinds of quality in the same factory.

In China, you can find the best material in the world, and you can find the same material with the best material appearance and handle, but there are completely different processes and ingredients with the best material.

Among the testing products, the most notable is the well-known. Brand of children's wear Parker Randi is on the list.

Recently, the company has been very busy with Parker's company, and has been receiving inquiries from distributors everywhere. "We have been explaining to dealers that the quality of products is no problem." Parker Lan Di relevant personage expresses to the reporter.

However, an atmosphere of anxiety has spread among consumers. Parker Lane company had to issue an external statement in its official website: "Parker Lane produces tens of thousands of garments every year, from fabric mining, production to sales and other links, we strictly control the quality, each product has been tested by the national quality inspection agency, qualified before listing. The possibility of product problems is very small, including the quality inspection of the product. "

Reporters learned that at present, Parker blue has re examined products, with a view to regaining consumer confidence. "But we don't know when we will get the result." Parker Lane insider told reporters.

Data show that at present, there are nearly 300 million children in China, and 10 million new babies will be added each year. Therefore, the domestic demand of children's clothing is increasing faster, about 24%~25% per year, and the market size has increased from five yuan less than 50 billion yuan to the current scale of about 100 billion yuan.

The reporter understands that the main production bases of children's clothing in China are concentrated in Foshan and Humen in Guangdong. Besides, Fujian and Zhejiang also have children's clothing industrial bases. In these places, the sale and sale of children's clothing often exist in a factory.

At the beginning of June, machinery was roaring in Wanxin garment factory in Foshan, and more than 200 machines were full of horsepower. But Wang Xiaoming, chairman of the garment factory, told reporters: "now many orders are under domestic enterprises. For example, more than 50% of children's clothing comes from mainland enterprises." he said that the same style of children's clothing, mainland enterprises to give the price of only 60% of exports. Wang Xiaoming acknowledged that such a price gap often leads to quality gaps.

When reporters inquired about the gap between the quality of children's clothing exported and domestic products, he said, "you can't see the difference in our clothing workshop." Wang Xiaoming said that the real gap is in the upstream, and "fabric, accessories, printing and dyeing" and other issues are in these links.

"In China, you can find the best material in the world, and you can find the same material with the best material appearance and handle, but there are completely different processes and ingredients with the best material. Unless they are sent to a professional institution for examination, they will not be able to get out of the shop even for a shorter period of time. Wang Xiaoming said.

In fact, it has become commonplace to produce products of different quality in the same factory. "We started exporting children's clothing in 2005, and exported hundreds of batches of goods in 2009. There was no problem at all, and it was fully in line with EU standards." That is, Liu Tun, the boss of Shun Hua garments, who is separated from Wanxin garment factory. In his view, although the upstream industry is mixed up, it is not impossible to find a good partner.

However, since 2009, after the transformation of Shun Hua clothing to do domestic sales of children's clothing, it has been blacklisted for two times in the quality inspection of Tianjin and Guangzhou. In response, Liu Gengzhi said that there was some reluctantly: "the price given by domestic businessmen is only five or six of that of foreign countries. They do not ask for quality problems at all, and the result will be so."

"Now, the profit rate of children's clothing industry is only 5% to 8%, and naturally, the lower the price is, the better the price is." Wu Fangfang, President of green box children's clothing, told reporters.

　 Confusion of domestic inspection and supervision system

The quality standard of children's clothing is very high, so the children's clothing produced normally is not expensive, but the quality control department is not good enough to supervise the business, so that the competition of children's clothing will continue to be carried out at low price and low quality.

Wu Fangfang once had a big "loss" in the quality of children's clothing products. "Once, a group of products purchased fabric, we asked the other party to produce product quality inspection report, the other side also produced, but when we processed fabrics into garments, once again failed to pass the inspection."

Wu Fangfang carefully analyzed the reasons: "the test data provided by fabric suppliers are provided by the local inspection department, and the authenticity of the report is doubtful, and our test data are made in Shanghai, Beijing and other tier cities, so they are more authoritative. Finally, all the products have to be completely void. "

Xie Qing, Deputy Secretary General of the China clothing association, pointed out: "our country has a comprehensive and strict regulation on the standards of children's products, but there are some problems at the executive level. Some local testing organizations will produce false inspection reports for the purpose of charging."

Wu Fangfang also revealed that most of the requirements for the quality of children's clothing are foreign businessmen and domestic brands. "70% of the children's clothing in China is imported into the market through the wholesale market. These products have serious quality problems."

"In fact, for the wholesale market, national institutions will also conduct inspections, but the inspection effort is still far from enough." Wu Fangfang said.

It is understood that for the inspection of quality inspection departments, businesses also have many ways to escape. "For example, every year in Guangzhou, there are four tests for children's clothing wholesale market, almost every time in fixed time. When it comes to inspection, businesses immediately change to high quality products. Once they are checked, they immediately return to another batch of products. Even if there are occasional checks to find out that the manufacturers have problems, the manufacturers will change a vest and turn the goods round. Wang Xiaoming told reporters.

In Wang Xiaoming's view, the main problem is to detect inefficient departments and omission. "The state has very strict standards for children's clothing". According to Wang Xiaoming, for example, children's clothing from 0 to 3 years old even has the requirement of "saliva resistance", but the ability to carry out "saliva test" for children's clothing is also "quality inspection department of several first tier cities".

As a result, the rules of the game become very high quality standards for children's clothing, so the normal production of children's clothing is expensive, but the quality control department is not good enough to monitor the business, so that the competition of children's clothing will continue to be carried out at low price and low quality.

In contrast, the inspection of children's clothing is much stricter. "In order to receive export orders, strict customers even require reports from inspection organizations in Hongkong or Europe." Wang Xiaoming told reporters that this process is the cost of manufacturers.

"There are many colors in children's clothing. Usually, each color is tested for thousands of yuan. Sometimes a garment is only about 10000 yuan for pigment detection." In addition, the production process is also very strict, for example, in the European Union standard, for children's clothing loose button is also very demanding, to ensure that button in 70 Newton pull down 10 seconds does not fall. Wang Xiaoming said that in order to meet this standard, the lock machine of clothes should be tested every two hours to see if the mold is loose. "The whole order process, trembling with fear, on thin ice."

"Domestic orders and international orders, the difference is very obvious, low price is on the one hand, on the other hand is the quality of monitoring is dispensable." Liu Gengzhi said that foreign customers should refine every color test, but the domestic customers will have no problem with appearance, touch and taste. Liu Gengzhi revealed.

Parker Lan Di was selected for quality inspection this time. His insiders told reporters: "our enterprises do not have their own testing institutions, but there are specialized departments to send all kinds of raw materials that may be involved to the state quality supervision department for inspection, and up to tens of thousands of products are inspected every year." However, because there is a risk in raw material procurement in China, that is, every raw material and accessories production comes from different manufacturers. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality standard of the whole product, "every raw material should be inspected".

In addition, the inspection departments in different parts of the country often appear inconsistent with the test results, which also makes enterprises "confused".
