The New National Standard Of Textiles From The Word "Strict"

When the shadow of the financial crisis still shrouded the global consumer market, the Chinese market has become the target of many textile and garment enterprises at home and abroad. The quality of products has become a fatal problem that many enterprises can not avoid when they enter the Chinese market.

Taking Shanghai, an important import garment port in China as an example, Shanghai entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau has carried out thorough investigation and supervision and spot check on imported garments since 2005. However, the failure rate of imported garments has been above 20%.

With the deepening of environmental protection concept, textile industry demands more and more consumers for green safety textiles.

The regulatory authorities are also stepping up laws and regulations to strictly control toxic and hazardous substances.

Textile enterprises at home and abroad have to re-examine their production quality control processes in order to meet the needs of consumers and comply with changing regulations.

With the new version of the "national textile product basic safety technical specification" GB18401-2010 pition period will end in August 1st this year, China's textile consumer market will usher in a more stringent access threshold.

The new version of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products has expanded the age range of infant textile products compared to the old national standard.

The definition of infant textile products is changed from "textile products worn or used by infants under 24 months of age" to "textile products worn or used by infants aged 36 months or less".

New standard for infants and young children

The definition is changed from "24 months or below 80 centimeters" to "36 months or below 100 centimeters". This means that the age range of infant textile products is enlarged, that is, the children's clothing, which is 2 to 3 years old according to the original standard, will be completely off shelves after August.

The standards stipulated in the standard include formaldehyde content, pH value, odor and other items.

Among them, clothing tested accords with class a standard value for infants and young children. Clothing tested accords with B standard value and can be closely dressed. Clothing is tested and accorded with C standard value and can be worn.

It is understood that in the three levels of A, B and C, the requirements of class A are the most stringent, such as formaldehyde content, infant textile products must be equal to or less than 20 mg / kg, while B grade is equal to or less than 75 mg / kg.

Since August 1, 2012, textile products that do not conform to the new standard are prohibited from production, sale and importation.

This means that the children's clothing, aged 2 to 3, which was produced in accordance with the old national standard, should be disposed of after August 1st.

A few days ago, the clothing Times reporter visited the children's clothing counters in Beijing and Guangzhou shopping malls. It was found that the children's clothes were generally defined as infants aged 1 to 2 years old. Their clothes were tested to be in Grade A. after 2 years of age, they were ordinary children's wear, with a grade of B.

However, the recent production of clothing has begun to use the new standard, 1 to 3 years old for infants and young children's clothing, and on the tag shows the clothing in accordance with a standard test value.

A shop assistant told the clothing Times reporter that the new textile national standard was originally implemented last year, but considering the particularity of textile products, one year is given as a buffer period.

"After the pition period, new standards will be implemented. Now a small number of children's clothing sold according to the old standards are basically in stock, and will be put off after the formal implementation."

However, in the clothing wholesale market that the clothing Times reporter visited, a considerable number of children's clothing had no tag at all.

"No matter what kind of sign you want, I will always print the new standard for you as long as the order is made."

When I heard the "clothing times" reporter talking about the new national standard of textiles, many shopkeeper said so.

In their view, children's clothes are no different. "Anyway, children under 12 years old are called children's clothing, regardless of infants and young children or other materials. They are all the same in size and size. They are all first-rate products and can be bought at ease."

The children's clothing in the market and the children's clothing in the wholesale market are totally two different attitudes towards the implementation of the new national standard. To a large extent, we can see that there are still many dead spots in the wholesale market in terms of regulation.

Many parents of children are also worried: "many clothes in the mall are also stocking from the wholesale market. Will there be any quality problems?"

The counter gives such an answer: "children's clothing or children's products in the mall are generally big brands, and there will be no such low-level mistakes in quality. Otherwise, smashing their brands will be fatal for enterprise development."

Introduction of third party mechanism for textile quality inspection

In this green and healthy revolution, how do domestic and foreign textile manufacturers comply with the new standards and expand their business? The world's third party independent testing agency, T Lv Yanmei V, South China Deutsche Great China Group (hereinafter referred to as T V S Lu D), director of textiles, said: "quality is the first pass for products in the market, and also the most important part of improving the market share of enterprises."

Whether domestic enterprises or foreign enterprises to further expand the Chinese market, we must ensure that the products can meet the standards required by the new national standard. In order to highlight the impartiality and internationalization of the test, it is very necessary to introduce a widely recognized third party inspection organization.

To this end, Lv Yanmei said: "T V S D D, with advanced technology and rich experience in projects, has done physical, chemical, functional and appearance testing for many foreign enterprises in China to ensure that these products meet the new national standard of textiles and related product standards, reduce product quality risks, and thus successfully obtain access to the Chinese market."

It is understood that at present, T V S D has provided new international standard inspection services for many internationally renowned buyers.

T V S D D, a 100 year professional third party testing institution from Germany, is famous for its global resources and professional technical team. It helps enterprises to optimize the production process from the source and reduce business risks to the greatest extent through in-depth understanding of regulatory changes and market trends.

Lv Yanmei said: "T V S D D textile department provides testing, testing, auditing and certification, training and consulting services for fibers and yarns, fabrics and garments, home textiles, leather and footwear products in China.

T V S D D has laboratories in many parts of the world, which are accredited by ISO 17025 and CPSIA.

Professional technical experts provide testing services to textile and garment enterprises in accordance with various international standards such as AATCC/ASTM, AS, BS, CAN/CGSB, DIN, EN, GB, ISO, JIS and T GB V.

In addition, Lv Yanmei also said that as the internationalization process continues to push forward, the international clothing brands sell the same series of products around the world, we must meet the local laws and standards. Through cooperation with the third party inspection agencies, international buyers can avoid duplication of tests, and get the latest international regulatory requirements, so as to save time to market and improve work efficiency.

In view of the end of the pition period, the experts suggest that the production enterprises can establish a cooperation mechanism with the authoritative third party inspection organizations, draw lessons from the third party's guidance, and through continuous learning and production adjustment, we must implement all levels of supervision in the whole production process, so as to enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises, so as to ensure that products meet the requirements of the new national standard.
