Market Survey Of Children's Wear In Taiyuan: Children's Clothing Is New And Unknown.

　　 [background]

Last year, from China Spin The Industrial Association recommends that the GB18401-2010, the national basic safety technical specification for textile products, which will be implemented in August 1, 2011, will be postponed to August 1, 2012. Since August 1, 2012, textile products which do not conform to GB18401-2010's basic safety technical specification for national textile products are prohibited from production, sale and importation.

The new regulation has the greatest impact on consumers. clothing Standard modification: the age of infants and young children in the definition of infant textiles has been extended from 0~24 months to 0~36 months, and is applicable to height from 80cm to below 100cm. This means that 0~3 year old textile products for infants and young children must meet the requirements of category A of the highest safety class.

High standards and strict new regulations undoubtedly provide new safeguards for children's health and safety. However, the new standard of children's wear has undergone a period of transition and nearly two months' mandatory implementation. What is the current situation of infant clothing market? Recently, the reporter conducted an investigation of the implementation of Taiyuan, and found that the new label is not known, and the implementation is not optimistic.

　 Discount stores, wholesale cities: "certificate" but not qualified

What is a class? What is that? clothes "The size of the Taiyuan children's clothing discount shop", the shopping guide faces a blank look at the reporter's advice. Looking at the "certificate" on clothing, the reporter found that regardless of the age of products are B category. "You can rest assured that the quality of the clothes here is certainly no problem. You feel it is pure cotton." Guide buyers continue to enthusiastically recommend to reporters.

In another clothing store called "sweet baby baby shop", the reporter saw that the contents of children's clothing tags were simple and fuzzy, no A\B grade label, no ingredient content, only a simple "first class product".

The shopkeeper told the reporter: "as long as the children's clothes are pure cotton, there is no problem. If you want to buy good quality clothes, you can only go to those brand stores. The owner knew the new label, but felt that it needed a process. Production, sales and so on would take some time.

Reporters visited many families. Children's wear trade Shops, discount stores, and wholesale cities found that the quality of the 0-3 year old children's clothing sold was uneven. Over 90% of the clothing tags simply labeled "first class", "100% pure cotton" and the name of the factory and so on. They did not conform to the new standard "infant products, category A, GB18401 2010" standard labeling. A few of them labeled safety standards were "B" and "C". On the individual tag, reporters also found that the opposite is different, the front is "class a", but the opposite is "B".

　　 Brand stores are more standardized, but there are also some problems.

Some consumers advocate brand names. In their view, brand names represent qualified, safe and reassuring. Reporters found in the survey, children's clothing, furniture brand stores relatively large stores to be relatively standardized, in the survey, reporters found The Frog Prince 2 to 3 year old children's clothing brands such as tick tat, deficit, Ma Xi Ma and so on are all category a products, and the labels are also clearer and standard. But some brands also have the phenomenon that B products are not off shelves or OEM.

These are new products that just came back. They are all class a. When the new standard has not been implemented, our products have reached the present standard. A children's clothing brand shop guide told reporters.

Speaking of the new label, the guide is also a good and honest person, but the reporter did not intend to find a bunch of trousers on the corner of the shop. There were obvious sticking marks on the tag, and it was discovered that the original "C" label was covered by the new label of "direct contact with skin, B class and GB18401 2010".

The product of a store in Taiyuan Dongfang Hong mall is qualified, but the shop assistant told the reporter, "you don't want to see the tag. Those are all we have fooled up. You can touch them if you touch them."

According to the new regulation, all the B products need to be off shelves before August 1st. But during the visit, the reporters found that a large number of B products in some brand stores were on sale, and they also used the "GB 18401-2003" implementation standard, and there were also a number of brand B categories in the brand store. A salesperson at a children's clothing store in South Central Street said that he knew the new standard but was still selling because there was no hard demand.

There is no way to manage the document.

The new rules have been enforced for two months, but the market reaction seems somewhat cold. Who will manage these unqualified children's clothes?

"This should belong to the textiles department, but because there is no business there, for a variety of reasons, it was cancelled a few years ago." Reporters came Taiyuan City Quality Supervision Bureau, Quality Supervision Bureau, a staff member said.

The reporter called the quality Bureau of the Taiyuan Bureau of industry and commerce, and the other side said that this should not be returned to them. They should be consulted and supervised. The reporter then called the supervision department to consult. After the situation was clear, the staff politely indicated that they were only responsible for counterfeiting, and the standards were not in their duties and powers. They suggested that reporters should consult other departments.

After that, the reporter went to the Taiyuan industry and Commerce Bureau. The staff on duty said, "I have not heard of this standard, but you can ask the marketing department."

In the consumer protection department of the marketing department, the reporter found a staff who knew something about the new standard. For journalists to investigate the situation, she believes that the implementation of the new rules from production to circulation has a certain time lag: "it is possible that the clothing produced last year is still selling this year, so some brands will appear non-standard logo."

"The introduction of the new standard is a good thing. We should have implemented such a standard long ago. Now many unqualified products on the market are being sold, which has harmed the interests of consumers. However, after all, the new standard has just been issued for more than a month. Up to now, we have not received any notice from the higher authorities. As for how to punish those illegal businesses, we have to receive the notification and act according to the regulations. The staff member said.

　　 The implementation of the new standard is not in place. Many departments and consumers need to strengthen supervision.

For the above findings, Shanxi University law school teacher Li Bingqiang analysis: the new standard issued in January 14, 2011, originally scheduled for implementation in August 1, 2011, but taking into account the long period of production of textile products and large inventory, the Ministry of State Administration of industry has postponed the implementation of the standard. Although the transition period has been given for one year, there are many problems in the implementation of the standard. The main reasons are:

First, because the propaganda of the new standards is not in place by some departments, some production and sales enterprises are not clear about the new standards, do not understand, or even know that the state has issued new standards, which results in the effective implementation of the standard in practice.

Two, some production and sales enterprises, based on the purpose of economic interests, have a fluke mentality, and continue to produce and sell products that do not meet the new standards. In fact, the reason why the country has given a year's transition period is to require enterprises to carry out technical equipment renewal or product adjustment in this year. The final production or sale of products that have entered the production process and already produced can not be reproduced without meeting the new standards. Some manufacturers think that they can continue to produce before the implementation of the new standards, resulting in the production of products that can not be eliminated in the short term after the implementation of the new standards.

Three, the relevant law enforcement departments did not strictly enforce the law, and objectively conniving in these illegal activities. The twenty-sixth provision of the product quality law stipulates that "producers should be responsible for the quality of the products they produce." The quality of products should meet the following requirements: (1) there is no unreasonable danger that endangers the safety of human body and property. National standards and industry standards that guarantee human health and personal and property safety should meet the standards. " If the mandatory obligations under this article are violated, the competent department of product quality may, according to the provisions of the forty-ninth article, order the producers and sellers to stop production and sale, confiscate the products illegally produced and sold, and impose a fine of not more than three times the value of the goods that are illegally produced or sold; if the illegal gains are obtained, the illegal gains shall be confiscated; if the circumstances are serious, the business license shall be revoked; if a crime is constituted, criminal liability shall be investigated according to law. However, in reality, some administrative law enforcement departments do not enforce the law strictly according to the requirements of laws and regulations.

Li Bingqiang believes that, as soon as possible, the new standard can be truly implemented, and the rights and interests of consumers can be effectively protected. The most important means is to enforce the law enforcement of product quality, and resolutely investigate and deal with illegal and criminal activities that violate the new product standards. According to the functions of the State Council, the product quality supervision department is mainly responsible for the product quality problems in the production area, and the administrative department for Industry and commerce is mainly responsible for the product quality problems in the circulation field. Therefore, in accordance with the division of functions of the State Council, the two sector should seriously investigate and punish the illegal activities in their respective management fields and strictly enforce the law. If the consumer finds that the market does not conform to the new standard of children's clothing, it can also report and complain to the relevant law enforcement departments, so that the offenders will have no place to hide.
