Children'S Clothing Export Quality And Safety Control Should Be Handled Well In Three Ways.

Our country is traditional textile.

Large countries, children's clothing exports occupy a large proportion, mainly exported to the United States, Japan, the European Union and other developed countries and regions.

In the Zhangjiagang region alone, since the export of children's clothing into law products last year, up to now, 12 thousand children's garments have been exported and the value is $270 million.

Because children lack the ability to identify potential hazards, they are vulnerable to all kinds of mechanical injuries on certain occasions.

On the other hand, children are at the stage of growth and development. Both skin and other organs are more sensitive than adults and susceptible to all kinds of harmful substances.

Therefore, all countries in the world, especially the developed countries in Europe and the United States, attach particular importance to the quality and safety of children's clothing.

Judging from the first half of this year, there were more than 100 reports of unqualified children's clothing products in China. Excessive content of harmful substances, potential hazards of rope and small parts were the main reasons for the failure of children's clothing.

Based on years of experience in inspection and quarantine, the author thinks that domestic children's clothing export enterprises must have a deep understanding and understanding of the safety requirements of children's clothing machinery, strictly control the procurement of surface accessories, design and production of products, continuously improve the quality and safety level of products, and enhance the competitiveness of the international market.

1. handle children's clothing well.

Children's clothing is not a diminished version of adult clothing, but a second layer of skin for children.

Therefore, the procurement of safe surface and auxiliary materials is particularly important.

The internal inspection indexes of the purchased flour and accessories must be qualified, otherwise the children's clothing produced will be unqualified.

There are six common indicators for the export of children's clothing:

PH value.

Generally, between 4.0-7.5, if the pH value exceeds the standard, the textiles are not only easy to be damaged under strong acidic or alkaline conditions, but also irritate the skin, cause skin allergies, itch and other discomfort, and are more harmful to young children.

Formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde, as a finishing additive in textile process, is usually contained in resins or other auxiliaries.

Formaldehyde has been identified by WHO as carcinogenic and deformable substances. Excessive formaldehyde can cause inflammation of mucous membrane and respiratory tract, and can also cause dermatitis.

Children's respiratory tract and skin are very delicate, their tolerance is poor, and their harm is greater.

Our GB18401-2010 stipulates that the formaldehyde content of infant products (Class A) must be less than or equal to 20mg/kg. In France, Norway and other European Union countries, the formaldehyde content of infant textiles must be less than or equal to 30mg/kg, while Japanese No. 112 decree (1973) stipulates that the content of armored aldehyde of infants under 2 years of age must be less than or equal to 20mg/kg.

Azo dyes.

No azo dyes can be used to reduce some aromatic amines that have carcinogenic effects on human body under certain conditions, and change the structure of DNA in human body by activating effect, causing human diseases and inducing cancerous changes.

Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to use clothes.

Flame retardancy.

Some coated fabrics or plush fabrics are combustible, burning too fast or melting after burning, which can cause burns, scalds, and even life-threatening.

According to different age groups, Canada has developed a special dangerous products (children's pajamas) Ordinance (SOR/87-443), and the United States also has children's pajamas burning regulations 16CFRPart1615 and 16CFRPart1616.

Heavy metals.

Once absorbed by heavy metals, heavy metals will accumulate in the liver, bones, kidneys, heart and brain of the human body, causing huge irreversible damage to health, such as excessive lead content in some resin patterns or fabric coatings printed on some children's clothing.

The lead content of children's products released by the US CPSC is as follows: from August 14, 2011, the lead content of children's products sold in the US market must meet the 100ppm limit.

The European Union's eco textile standard Oeko-TexStandard100 specifies the requirements for all kinds of toxic and harmful substances in textiles. The EU limits the nickel and its compounds in some ornaments and decorative strips of clothing, and requires that the amount of nickel released from metal products contacted directly or for a long time is less than 0.5 g/cm2 per week.

Plasticizer.

Also known as plasticizers and plasticizers, it is an additive to increase the softness of materials. Plasticizers may also be used in children's clothing, such as pigment printing, plastic accessories, decorations, plastic buttons, PVC artificial leather, PVC labels, etc.

Excessive plasticizer is likely to affect children's health.

First, children's metabolism is relatively strong, clothing directly contact with the skin, harmful substances easily absorbed through the skin; second, children sometimes licking, biting, absorbing their clothes and clothes adornment, buttons, accessories, etc., if these parts or clothing printing contain plasticizer, through children's mouth contact may be ingested.

2. good export design for children's clothing

Due to the unreasonable design, the rope and small parts of children's clothing exported in recent years are potentially dangerous. The recall and notification incidents happen frequently, affecting the reputation of "made in China".

Mainly manifested in: first, the structural design is unreasonable.

The United States "safety regulations for children's coats" and "guide for tightening belts for children's jackets" put forward specific requirements for rope.

The EU EN14682-2007 regulations stipulate that the hat and collar of young children's clothing should not have drawstring, decorative rope and functional rope, sewing or other decorative ornaments. The free ends should not exceed 75MM, and the girth of any loop should not exceed 75MM, and the length of the rope must not exceed 14cm.

British BS7907-2007 stipulates that children's clothing under 36 months of age is not recommended to use hand stitch 200, because the fibers and yarns are easy to fall off, so the balls and tassels made of cut yarn of a certain length should not be used in children's clothing for 36 months. At the age of 5, try not to use functional zippers in the boys' trousers. The pajamas that are less than 12 months old can not design wind caps.

The collar size should not be less than 26CM.

Two is the decoration and accessories pulling force does not meet the requirements.

Sewing fasteners such as buttons, rivets, rope end pieces (such as plastic Bell), labels and other decorations do not meet the requirements of the specified tension. These beautiful Dongdong are both the selling points of clothing and the chief culprit of various accidents, because children will tear and gnaw these small attachments due to their curiosity about small objects, and they will suffocate and suffocate after falling off.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Nordstrom company have jointly announced the voluntary recall of jackets originating in China. The reason for the recall is that the zipper strip for the jacket is easy to fall off, and if eaten by children, it can easily lead to suffocation.

In addition, mineral oil from alkanes was injected into the compass ornaments of some children's clothing recalled. Children inhaled easily lead to chemical pneumonia.

Therefore, when designing children's clothing, we should give full consideration to the products may cause ischemic injury to children, such as clamping accidents caused by zippers, sharp object injuries, detachable parts, injuries, injuries, wounds, hooks and entangling, asphyxia, vision and hearing loss, and mechanical injuries such as infarction, stumbling and falling, so as to avoid products being notified abroad.

3. good export of children's clothing production

In March 15, 2011, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and MatildaJaneLLC jointly announced the voluntary recall of Chinese children's skirts.

The recalled children's skirt is sleeveless, with sizes of 2, 4 and 6. The upper part is white with green dots, and the lower part has green and yellow prints, with colorful lace.

The reason for the recall is that the buttons of the child's skirt are easy to fall off, and if children are put into the mouth, it can cause suffocation.

Up to now, MatildaJaneLLC has received 1 reports of the child's skirt clasp falling off.

In the production process, the children's clothing enterprises in China must fix the accessories such as accessories for children's clothing. The flashing decorative pieces, beads and other similar accessories on children's clothing under 3 years old should not be sewn by hand. When sewing machine, each piece should be stitched at least 3 needles to ensure a certain stitch density.

In order to choose suitable fastener, such as knitted garments, column fastener should be avoided, and its type should match the compression thickness of the fabric.

If it is computerized embroidery, cotton lining should be added on the back of embroidery, otherwise it will scratch the immature skin of the child because of the hard feeling on the back of the embroidery pattern.

In the process of printing and washing water, which is easy to cause two pollution, we should arrange full-time quality control personnel to check and control.

In the control of broken and residual needles, Japan has the PL law. Other countries do not have corresponding regulations, but enterprises should not despise. In production, we must strictly control broken and residual needles, because the residues of broken and residual needles in children's clothing will cause harm to children's immature skin.

During the locking process, buttons, decorative buttons, zippers and metal accessories should be free from burrs, non piercing edges, sharp tips and other defects. The zippers and metal accessories, buttons and decorative buttons should not have quick opening and burrs to prevent scratches and scratches of infants' skin.

At the same time, we should check the fastness of buttons and all kinds of plastic decorations and prevent them from being misled by children.

Patterned and printed parts can not contain powders and granules that can be dropped. Flashing pieces and granular beads or other sharp objects are not allowed for decoration.

In the packaging process, we must prevent mildew and odour.

In short, children's clothing manufacturers must attach great importance to the safety production and humanized design of children's clothing, organize production in strict accordance with the technical regulations and standards of importing countries, improve the production process, strengthen the purchase and testing of raw and auxiliary materials, strictly control every link, and establish corresponding quality and safety guarantee system.

Only in this way can we produce ecological, healthy and safe.

Children's clothing products can make themselves stand firm in the fierce competition in the international market.
