China'S Textile And Garment Industry Was Surged By The EU In 2012, And Children'S Clothing Accounted For The Majority.

< p > from 2012, the EU recalled our country's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > textile < /a > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "href=" > clothing > Product category. More than 80% were children's clothing; from the reasons of recall, it mainly concentrated on children's wear, "no", "waist", "knee", "waist" and "knee" part of the rope length exceeding the standard and small parts easy to fall off and cause potential danger; from the regional distribution of China's recalling countries, the main focus is on central and Eastern European countries.

According to the data released by the European Union's non food consumer goods rapid alert system (RAPEX), the European Union recalled 565 textile and apparel products in 2012, an increase of 48% over the same period of last year. < p >

It involves 271 items of China's textile and clothing products, an increase of 60% over the same period.

In the textile and clothing products recalled, the proportion of Chinese products was 48%, up 4 percentage points from 2011.

< /p >

< p > the fact that the EU's export clothing recall has surged by 60% has caused a lot of controversy inside and outside the industry. But some of the respondents said that things were not so serious.

< /p >

< p > most of the products are children's clothing. From the European Union's recall of China's textile and clothing products in 2012, more than 80% of children's clothing is children's clothing.

From the perspective of recall reasons, it is mainly concentrated on the potential danger caused by the over length of the rope and the easy falling off of the small parts in the children's coat, hat, waist and knee part.

From the regional distribution of China's recalling countries, it is mainly concentrated in central and Eastern Europe, accounting for 90% of the total recall.

Among the top 3, Hungary (225, 40%), Bulgaria (200, 35%) and Cyprus (22, 4%).

"Recall of exports of children's clothing in the EU has always been large, but this does not mean that there is a problem in the quality of products. The problem is mainly due to the fact that clothing companies do not know enough about the standard of export safety requirements."

Guo Daidai, director of the clothing department of the China Textiles Import and export chamber, told the International Commercial Daily reporter.

< /p >

< p > Guo Daidai said, in fact, not only is the EU, the United States exports most of the recall products are children's clothing.

In 2012, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of 22 textile and clothing products, of which 14 were recalled from Chinese textiles, all of which were children's clothing products. The reason is similar to that of the European Union: there are hidden dangers in rope and trinkets.

< /p >

< p > when small and medium-sized enterprises meet the Middle Eastern Europe < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > market < /a >, the EU's clothing recall has surged by 60%. The underlying reason is that SMEs lack sufficient understanding of emerging market product standards.

"From the notification countries, most of them are central and Eastern European countries. These countries are emerging markets for China's clothing exports, and the mutual understanding between the two sides is not enough."

Guo Daidai analysis said that this year, our clothing export encountered some difficulties. Some small and medium-sized enterprises took the initiative to open up the market, hoping to lay a new field in the emerging market. However, due to the cooperation partners and their own problems, some illegal products appeared.

"In many cases, foreign importers provide pattern designs for small and medium-sized export enterprises, and often there is a problem of rope breaking in the design of products. If Chinese enterprises do not understand the situation, the probability of product recall will increase."

Guo Daidai, for example.

< /p >

< p > it is also understood that some Chinese children's clothing enterprises focus on the Russian market before they move to the central and Eastern European market, which will make these enterprises lack knowledge of the specifications of products in central and Eastern Europe.

< /p >

< p > relevant enterprises should pay attention to "EN14682" < /p >

< p > in the notice of recalled products, the overwhelming majority mentioned "violation of EN14682 regulations".

The so-called "EN14682", that is, the EU standard No. 14682, is applicable to children aged 0~14 and clothing for young people. It mainly stipulates the specifications of the belts, cords, shoulder straps, and bow fastens on children's clothing, so as to reduce the potential danger that children are bound, pulled and trapped when wearing clothes.

For example, RAPEX recalled the reasons for the recall of a group of Chinese WanDeng brand children's ski suits: "the risk of strangulation suffocation is due to" a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > clothes < /a > the neck of the rope is too long.

If the buckle on the clothes is tickled, it may cause the child to fall down and cause injury.

< /p >

< p > > the relevant departments suggest that a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > children's wear < /a > export enterprises should make preparations before the products are exported, learn quickly and grasp the new regulations of the EU textile regulations in time. Children's garments exported to the EU will be identified as soon as possible, and will be contacted with the inspection and quarantine departments in a timely manner. At the same time, the inspection of export products should be done to avoid the export of unqualified clothing products and bring losses.
