New Standard For Children's Wear Has Been Implemented For Two Months.

After a year of pition and two months of compulsory implementation, China

The Industrial Association recommends that the national basic safety technical specification for textile products (GB18401-2010), approved by the National Standardization Management Committee, is almost empty.

In October 11th, the reporter investigated the wholesale market of children's clothing and brand children's clothing store in Ji'nan, and found that most of the children's clothing stores in the wholesale market are still selling unqualified products, and only a few brand children's clothing stores have implemented the new standards.

Industry and commerce, quality supervision and other departments said that the new standards for children's wear have not yet been received, and the irregularities in the market can not be investigated for the time being.

Unqualified children's clothing sold in the market

It is understood that the new implementation of the national basic safety technical specifications for textile products, the most influential consumers are infants and young children.

Standard modification: the age of infants and young children in the definition of infant textiles has been extended from 0 to 24 months to 0 to 36 months, and the height is changed from 100 centimeters to 80 centimeters below.

This means that textile products from infants aged 0 to 3 must meet the requirements of category A of the highest safety class.

But the 11 day reporter found that the new specification was empty. It was only located in the sun city children's products world of Ji Road. Most of the children's clothing stores did not implement new regulations.

In most children's clothes shop, look over.

On the "certificate", the reporter found that no matter how many years old children's products are mostly B, other C class, grade one and so on are various.

"You can rest assured that the quality of the clothes is no problem, they are all pure cotton". In the vicinity of the sun city entrance, a shopping guide member sees reporters to check the signs.

On sale of a red children's wear sign, the reporter saw that the product grade was labeled C, and the others contained only simple content and manufacturer's information.

In many children's wear shops, the reporters found that there was no grade mark and ingredient content on the product label. Only a simple "first class" label, some children's clothes were even tagged in English, completely inconsistent with the new standard "baby products, category A, GB184012010" standard label.

In the two floor of the Sun City, "baby whisper" children's clothing shop, the shopping guide explains the B class and no label children's clothing in the shop. She knows the new standard of children's wear, but "now, apart from individual brand shops, most of them are old products".

And more children's shopkeeper is not aware of the new standard.

There are also informed children's clothing shop responsible person said that production, sales and other links all need to adapt to the new standard process, "in a year or so execution in place."

In some small children's clothing stores in the city, the reporters also found the same unqualified products, and the labels on the certificate cards were varied, but they all did not meet the requirements of the new specification.

Reporter survey found that children's clothing brand stores in the implementation of new standards in place.

In the ABC children's clothing shop of Weiyi Road, reporters randomly viewed dozens of children's clothing products of 2-3 years old, and found that the standards of qualification certificates were strictly implemented according to the specifications of "infant articles, category A and GB184012010".

The staff of the store said that in August 1, 2012, when the new standard was first implemented, there was a period of inventory digestion, and it was temporarily not implemented.

Now inventory has been digested.

Most of the brand shops will be implemented according to the regulations.

The staff member said.

In the investigation, the reporter also partly confirmed his statement.

Reporters in the brand children's clothing store near Quancheng road and Yu Han road did not find any unqualified products sold illegally.

Expert analysis

There are many reasons why new standards are difficult to enforce.

The implementation of new standards for children's wear is not satisfactory.

Relevant experts believe that the new standard for children's wear was released in January 14, 2011, originally scheduled for implementation in August 1, 2011. However, considering the long production cycle and large inventory of textile products, the Ministry of industry and Commerce has postponed the implementation of this standard.

Although the pition period has been given for one year, there are still many problems in the actual implementation of the standard.

The reason for this is that the expert analysis is mainly due to the fact that the relevant departments have not publicize the new standards. 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.

In addition, some production and sales enterprises are lucky enough to produce and sell products that do not meet the new standards based on the purpose of economic interests.

"In fact, the reason why the country has given a one year pition period is that enterprises are required 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.

Experts suggest that we should implement the new standards as soon as possible, and effectively protect the rights and interests of consumers. 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 standards of products.

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.

Failing to receive the notice, investigation and prosecution without foundation

11, on the market survey, the reporter contacted the Ji'nan industrial and commercial bureau, and the relevant staff said that it had not received the notice about the new implementation of the basic technical specification for national textile products. "The industry and Commerce Department is supervising the circulation of commodities, and the product standards and quality should belong to other functional departments."

Ji'nan quality supervision hotline staff said, it also did not receive the new implementation of the "national textile product basic safety technical specification" notice, "we are responsible for complaints, reports."

For children's clothing that does not meet the requirements of the new standard in the market, the relevant staff of Ji'nan Quality Supervision Bureau said that this has belonged to the management of the circulation field, while the quality supervision bureau is responsible for supervising the production area.

"Welcome to reflect the related complaints in the field of production."

Prior to the interview, relevant functional departments staff said that the introduction of the new standard is a good thing, and it should have been implemented. Now many unqualified products on the market are being sold, which has damaged the interests of consumers.

However, after all, the new standard has just been issued for more than two months.

As for how to punish those illegal businesses, the industry and Commerce Department staff said they need to receive the notification and act according to the regulations.

It is suggested that the reporter inquire into how the regulation of the implementation of the basic safety technical specification for national textile products is regulated.

Many parents are not aware of the new standard for children's wear.

11, reporters in the interview found that the purchase of infant clothing customers, concerned about the level of clothing safety very few people, more parents only care about whether the material is pure cotton and handle, the most important safety issues are often ignored.

"Generally it's OK. First I'll see if the style is like it, then I'll try to find out what the quality of the clothes is, then I'll buy it if the price is right."

In a children's clothing store at Weiyi Road, Ms. Sun said so.

She buys clothes for her children mainly by experience, and seldom pays attention to signboards. For category A, B and C, it is even more unclear what it means.

"It is a good thing for the state to make mandatory provisions on the quality of infant clothing, but there should also be tough penalties for violators." in the interview, some people expressed their concerns. "The labels of infant clothing are too easy to forge or imitate. If I look at labels only, I do not feel at ease.

To buy clothes for my baby, I will choose the products that are softer, more breathable and have no odor.

"The new standard requires that children's clothing from 2 to 3 years of age should be manufactured according to the standard of 2 years old, which is undoubtedly raising the production cost. If manufacturers want to go back to the book, will they even raise the price of this part or even all children's clothing?"

For ordinary citizens, it is obviously unrealistic to identify the ingredients of clothes. How to choose safe clothing for children?

(GB18401-2010) the age range of infants and young children textile products from 24 months or less than 80 cm is expanded to infants under 36 months or below 100 cm in height.

On the market, many labels of clothes are mixed with fish and birds. Ordinary people buy clothes and look at clothing labels. They do not look at the implementation standards, but only see whether the manufacturers are standardized.

But experts suggest that the most direct and simple way to identify children's clothing is to identify "a".

For the version, experts remind that only GB18401-2010 is the new standard.

According to the regulations, the infant clothing on the label is GB18401-2003 should be returned to the factory for inspection, and can be sold after being qualified.

The standard of GB18401-2006 and 2008 is invalid and is not suitable for purchase.

Experts also reminded that when choosing clothes for children, they should choose natural products.

The color of the material is mainly light colored, and metal parts are decorated as little as possible so as not to irritate children, especially infants and young children.
