Selling Children's Clothing To Identify Class A Logo

On the morning of August 1st, when reporters visited the Changsha market, they found that large supermarkets and brand stores had basically completed the replacement of new items, but in the case of non brand names Children's wear In the shop, the old standard children's children's clothing is still on sale, and they are all selling goods at a discount. Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau responsible person said that the next phase of the market will be sampling children's children's clothing, the products do not meet the standards of the shelves.

Implementation of new regulations

Children under 3 years of age must have class a standards.

In the new national standard, the scope of infant clothing has been expanded, and the age range has been extended from 2 to 3 years old. In addition, the new national standard for clothing formaldehyde content, pH value and odor and other related indicators were strictly defined, the children's clothing is divided into A, B, C three grades, of which a class of clothing for infants and young children, wearing B class clothes can be close to the body, C grade clothing is only for wear. Since August, children's clothing under the age of 3 should be implemented in class a standards, and production, sale and importation of textile products that do not meet the new standards will be prohibited. This means that the 2~3 year old children's clothing produced in accordance with the old national standard must be sold until August 1st of this year, otherwise it will have to be dealt with below shelves. At the same time, the production enterprises must indicate the words "baby products" on the instructions.

Journalist survey

The old national standard children's clothing is on sale.

Before the introduction of the new national standard, there is a transitional stage before implementation. In August 1st, when reporters visited, it was found that large supermarkets and brand stores had completed the replacement of new items.

At 10 a.m., the reporter saw at the Bayi children's clothing store at Bayi Bridge that the products sold were all Disney brand. The reporter checked the tag and found that the children's clothing under the age of 3 and below were all class a products. The price of the single item was around three hundred yuan, and the sale was 50 percent off off the season. In WAL-MART, Carrefour and other large supermarkets, infant products have basically completed the replacement of the new GB products.

However, not all businesses have completed the replacement of their products, and a clearance sale is being carried out at a mother child shop in Lotus Lane. The shopkeeper told reporters: "although the state stipulates that a category a must be under 3 years old, there is nothing wrong with these B clothes. They are all cotton and children wear nothing." When the reporter expressed doubts about formaldehyde and other concerns, she disagreed, claiming that as long as she washed more, it was okay. The reporter found that some of her baby clothes were C. The reporter saw that the clothing label was confused, the product classification was not regular, but the price was cheaper, between 40 yuan and 60 yuan.

Most parent child problems are not qualified.

In the course of the reporter's investigation, a serious problem was discovered. Most of the so-called "parent-child" clothes on the street were not hung up or hung up.

On the afternoon of August 1st, the reporters saw a sale at a street shop on May 1 Avenue, which was mostly sold at a low price and fashionable. However, careful observation showed that there were three products, not even a tag, and sold in a plastic bag. The 1 year old children can wear these clothes. When a reporter asked whether there was a trademark, the vendor replied, "no label, we are all factory direct selling." The clothes are all pure cotton. No one says that the quality is bad. I sell quite a lot every day.

Subsequently, the reporter visited another franchised store, which was sold by parents. The average price of clothing in the shop was around two hundred yuan, the discount rate was 5~8, while the clothing labels were all B. Through conversation, the reporter found that shopkeepers did not understand the A, B and C grades of textiles, and knew nothing about the newly implemented national standard.

Departmental action

Provincial commerce and industry will conduct random checks on children's clothing.

In fact, before the implementation of the new national standard, the Provincial Bureau of industry and Commerce carried out spot checks on infant clothing in the province. 85 groups of samples were collected from the distributors of 11 cities (States) in Yueyang, Yiyang, Loudi, Hengyang, Chenzhou, Changde, Shaoyang, Zhangjiajie, Yongzhou, Huaihua and autonomous prefecture. After testing, 63 groups were qualified, 22 failed, and the pass rate was 74%.

The main problem in the 22 groups of unqualified samples is that the content of components, fiber content, color fastness and pH value do not meet the standard requirements.

Provincial Industrial and commercial bureau's consumer protection department official said, the implementation of the new national standard, the quality supervision department should be supervised at the source of production. For the products that are still used in the market, the business department will continue to focus on the next stage. Once the unqualified products are found, the products will be required to get off the shelves in time and carry out rectification.

Subsequent impact

Or will increase the price of infant clothing.

The implementation of the new national standard will inevitably increase the cost of manufacturers. Insiders say that this will lead to a new round of rising prices for infant clothing prices.

Because the new national standard has made clear restrictions on the safety and physical properties of formaldehyde, such as formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness and so on, and stipulates that there should be no odor in the product and the use of decomposable aromatic amine dyes. This means that enterprises need to spend more money and material resources on raw material control.

Hunan Shaoyang Baoqing yarn boss told reporters that after the implementation of the new national standard, children's clothing manufacturers will increase the cost of raw materials. At the same time, it also increased the testing items and increased the testing fees. According to rough statistics, the production cost of textile and garment enterprises will increase by 1%~5%, among which the cost of children's clothing enterprises will increase the largest. Miss Yang, who has been engaged in clothing sales for many years, said that the growth of such costs will definitely be passed on to consumers after a period of time.

Industry interpretation

Children's clothing market will accelerate the shuffle

Liu Min, owner of a clothing store in Fucheng Road, Changsha, told reporters that the clothing in the shop was purchased from Guangzhou wholesale market. It was produced by some small clothing factories in the locales. It was based on the low price to attract consumers. "Many children's clothes produced by small garment factories are the leftover materials for making adult clothing, the cost is lower, and the safety level is mostly B or C. After the implementation of the new standards, production costs will definitely increase, so the survival space of small garment factories will shrink.

"Children's wear market will accelerate the shuffle." There are also people in the industry who believe that after the implementation of the new national standard, some small garment enterprises may no longer design and produce baby clothes under the pressure of cost, instead of becoming the foundry points of some famous brand children's wear factories. However, in the long run, the whole industry will develop in a healthy and orderly way.

Tips

Three pay attention to buying baby clothes

1. read the product labels carefully. The logo of infant clothing must include two kinds of tag and durability mark. The product name, name and address of the production enterprise, washing method, size specification, raw material content, product standard number, product quality grade and safety technology category should be marked on the labels.

2. select products with "eco fiber products logo" certification marks. Only those products conforming to the concepts of green consumption and safety and environmental protection can be used.

3. fabrics with natural fibers as raw materials, especially those with direct contact with skin, should be made of pure cotton. At the same time, we should pay attention to choosing clothes with little accessories. The color of the clothes should not be too bright. It is better to smell the clothes on the nose so as to confirm that there is no peculiar smell to buy.
