Look Around The New National Standard: The Implementation Of The New National Standard For Children'S Clothing Is Unheard Of By Merchants

On August 1, the revised version of the National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products was fully enforced. The new regulation requires that textile products for infants and young children under 3 years of age must meet the highest safety level of Class A, and the label must be marked with words such as "infant products, Class A, GB184012010". On the 2nd, the reporter visited the major shopping malls, street baby stores and clothing In wholesale markets and other places, it is found that only a few stores strictly implement this standard, and most of them turn a deaf ear to the new regulations.

On the same day, the reporter first visited several street stores and large clothing wholesale markets in Zhengzhou, and found that a large number of infant clothing did not meet the Class A standard. Although the price tag of tens of yuan was lower than that of children's clothing in stores, the quality was very worrying.

In a store street of a large clothing wholesale market in Zhengzhou, which mainly sells infant clothing, there are a variety of infant clothing and supplies on the shelves inside and outside the store. Looking at each house along the street, the reporter found that except for a few brands of baby clothes that are Class A, almost all of them are Class B and Class C, and many of them are not even marked with safety categories. The manufacturer's address is unknown, and the contact number is only a mobile phone number. Of course, the price of these clothes is much cheaper than that in the mall, and the clothes priced at tens of yuan can still be discounted by about 40%.

The low price has attracted many parents to choose clothes for their children. Many parents did not know about the compulsory implementation of infant clothing standards from August 1. Ms. Zheng, who buys clothes for her 1-year-old child, said that she usually buys clothes according to the brand, feel the feel and see the workmanship

Most parents said that since clothes were cheap, they could not be too demanding, as long as they could wear them without health problems. "The children's clothes in the shopping mall may be better, and they will be marked with the words' Class A, GB18401 2010 ', but the price is also expensive, hundreds of them, infants grow so fast, and they usually wear one for several months. If all of them are expensive, ordinary people can't afford children. These children's clothes are worn by children, it's OK." See the reporter asking, A citizen named Wu Yulin shook his head in a slightly helpless tone.

According to the opinion of many interviewees, the expensive children's clothing monopoly should reassure consumers, but the reporter visited several stores in the infant section of the mall and found that although the situation was slightly better, it was also not optimistic.

In the infant products section of a large shopping mall in Erqi Business District, the reporter visited more than ten infant stores, but only a few reached the standard. Most other stores are marked as Class B in the security category column. Although the safety level is not up to the standard, the price of these clothes is not low. Most of the single summer clothes are priced at about 100 yuan.

In the infant section of a large shopping mall in Jinshui District, the reporter faced a slightly "better" situation: Class A accounted for the majority of infant clothing priced at hundreds of yuan each, but strangely, some of the same brand of infant clothing were Class A and some were Class B. In this regard, the clerk explained that the close fitting clothes are generally Class A, while the coats will be dyed with more colors and designed with more shapes, so the materials will be used according to Class B standards. However, the reporter also found that in several infant product stores, even close fitting clothes are mixed with Class A and Class B.

The reporter saw a small shirt with a price of nearly 400 yuan for children around one year old in a shop. The safety category marked on the label was Class B. When the reporter questioned, didn't you also have to wear such clothes close to your body? Although the clerk could not explain clearly, they were also called brand clothes, and the quality of clothes was absolutely safe.

Ms. Zhang Xiaohua, who was shopping for children in the shopping mall, also expressed her dissatisfaction when she heard the query: "This dress is so much more expensive than adults' clothes, and it is outrageous that even the most basic infant clothing standards are not followed."

Zhang Xiaohua said that although he felt a little tired, the whole family was trying their best to buy more expensive items for the children. Now there are always problems with infant food, and he always thought that expensive food would be safer, but he did not expect that expensive food would be reasonable.

In 2011, the revised version of the National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Products was officially issued, and after a one-year transition period, it was fully enforced on August 1 this year. In the new regulations, the age of "infants" in the definition of infant textiles has been expanded from 0 to 24 months to 0 to 36 months. Textile products for children aged 0 to 3 years must meet the requirements of Class A of the highest safety level.

According to the new regulations, the product implementation standard (including the year) must be marked on the product tag, and the safety technology category implemented by the product must be marked according to the requirements of GB18401 standard. That is to say, textile products for infants and young children under 3 years of age in the future must be labeled with such words as "infant products, Class A, GB18401 2010".
