It can bring close care to children. In recent years, more and more parents pay attention to the quality and safety problems of infant clothing.

Against this background, the full implementation of the new version of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products will have more important practical significance in August 1st.

Compared to the 2003 edition of the national standard, the new national standard extends the age range of infants from 2 to 3 years of age.

According to Huang Shuo, deputy director of the Jinjiang Laboratory of the national textile and garment product quality supervision and inspection center, this mainly refers to the provisions of the mandatory national standards for infant supplementary food and children's toys for the age range of infants and young children.

In addition, the relevant laws and regulations in foreign countries basically take 36 months as the dividing line between the age of infants and children.

The new national standard defines the relevant indexes such as formaldehyde content, pH value and peculiar smell in clothing, and divides children's clothing into three grades, namely, A, B and C. Among them, a class of clothes can be worn for infants and girls, and the B level can be worn close to the body. The C class is only for wearing.

Among them, the requirements for class a clothing are the most stringent. Taking formaldehyde content as an example, the index of infant textile products must be equal to or less than 20 mg / kg, while the B grade is relaxed to equal to or less than 75 mg / kg.
