The New National Standard Of Textile Products Implements The Ban On Sales Of Infant Clothing That Does Not Reach A

The clothing produced, sold and imported from August 1 must comply with the requirements of the new national standard. The clothing for infants under 3 years of age must meet the requirements of Class A indicators. The children's clothing that does not meet the requirements of the Code will be prohibited from production and sales.

The Specification requires that the applicable age of infant products should be changed from 24 months to 36 months, and the applicable height should be changed from 80 cm to 100 cm. The safety technical requirements of infant textile products should meet Class A standards.

From August 1, Tianjin Channel will officially implement the new national standard for textile products, the National Basic Safety Technical Code for Textile Products (hereinafter referred to as the "Code"). The clothing produced, sold and imported from August 1 must comply with the new national standard. The clothing for infants under 3 years old must meet the requirements of Class A indicators. The children's clothing that does not meet the "Code" will be prohibited from production and sales.

The strictest clothing standard for infants and young children

Yu Kun, head of the Quality and Technology Section of Tianjin Textile Fiber Inspection Institute, introduced that in order to avoid confusion between the two concepts of product classification and product safety technical requirements classification, the new version of the national standard revised the product classification in the original standard from the form of A, B, C codes plus text description to the form of direct text description, which is divided into three categories, namely: infant textile products The corresponding basic safety technical requirements for textile products in direct contact with skin and textile products not in direct contact with skin are still divided into Class A, Class B and Class C.

Among them, the Code requires that the applicable age of infant products should be changed from 24 months to 36 months, and the applicable height should be changed from 80 cm to 100 cm. The safety technical requirements of infant textile products should meet Class A standards. Since the immunity and resistance of infants are relatively weak, according to the formaldehyde content, PH value, odor and other indicators, all safety technical indicators of Class A are stricter than those of Class B and C. In particular, the requirements for "saliva color fastness" and formaldehyde content are more stringent. In addition, 4-aminoazobenzene was added to the list of decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, increasing the original 23 to 24.

Industry insiders said that the mandatory standards for children's clothing may also be introduced in the near future, which will have more specific requirements for heavy metals.

Children's wear quality is uneven

The reporter recently visited many pregnancy and infant stores and children's clothing stores in Tianjin and found that the quality of children's clothing sold in these stores was uneven. In a pregnancy and baby store on Dagu South Road, most of the baby clothes sold here are medium and high-end brands. The labels indicate the fiber content of the clothes, the manufacturer and other information, as well as "Class A, baby clothes". They smell almost normal and feel soft.

There are also some stores that sell disorderly brands, with vague descriptions of clothing labels. In a wholesale children's clothing store, the reporter found that only a small number of infant clothing marked with relevant information, most clothing even did not have product descriptions, only the manufacturer was marked on the washing label; Some vaguely wrote "This product is pure natural environmental fiber material", but the specific ingredients were not marked.

Nie Junhong, a senior engineer of the municipal fiber inspection institute, told reporters that at present, there are more than 20 children in the city Clothing enterprises The overall scale is not particularly large, and some are medium and above medium brands. The Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision and the Municipal Institute of Fiber Inspection gave full play to the supervision responsibility of the supervision agency for enterprises, and increased the inspection of children's clothing. Since 2011, three centralized spot checks have been carried out, of which, in the first half of 2011, a total of seven batches were all qualified, in the second half of 2011, a total of seven batches were selected, and two batches were unqualified, with a qualification rate of 71.4%. In the first half of this year, a total of 14 batches were selected, and three batches were unqualified, The qualification rate was 78.6%. Nonconforming items mainly include component content and PH value.

How to choose baby clothes

Nie Junhong, a senior engineer of the Municipal Fiber Inspection Institute, gave a hint that when purchasing infant clothing, we should first observe the signs and labels. The user's manual of each clothing should clearly indicate the words "infant products", as well as the name and address of the manufacturer, the composition and content of the material, and the executive standards. Parents should not only look at the beautiful style and the appropriate price. In case of skin allergy, redness and swelling after children wear the purchased children's clothes, they can contact the manufacturer for follow-up treatment according to the marks.

Since the new national standard has raised the threshold for the production of children's clothing, especially the enterprises that originally produced children's clothing aged 2 to 3 years should raise the product standard according to the new national standard. Small scale production enterprises or small workshops may not meet the requirements, so it is best to buy relatively large brands of children's clothing from guaranteed sellers.

In addition, she also suggested that it is better to buy pure cotton products that are less irritating and comfortable to the skin, and try to choose clothes with light color, because if the clothes purchased are unqualified, the more likely the clothes are bright in color, and the dyes do not meet the requirements, which will cause damage to the children's skin. You can use white cloth to wipe the clothes, and those with serious discoloration cannot be purchased.

The consumer can also request the seller to provide the corresponding inspection quality report. If any problem is found, you can call 12365 Quality Supervision Complaint Hotline and 60266992 Law Enforcement Department of the Municipal Fiber Inspection Institute to make a complaint.
