Jiangsu Consumers Association: Comparative Test Of Home Textile Products

< p > in order to protect the right to know and the right to choose when purchasing a textile products, < < href= http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > consumer > /a >, we have made a comparative trial of the home textile products sold in the market, providing consumers with objective, fair and comparable product information.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 1, the basic situation is < /strong > < /p >

P > P > the sample of the comparison test is the staff of the a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" and the Consumer Association of Jiangsu province. The staff of the consumer association are from the general consumer, from the central shopping mall in Nanjing, the Suguo Supermarket (Guanghua Road), the Jin Runfa supermarket (Ruijin Road), the Kasen home textile store, and the TV shopping channel of Jiangsu good shopping Co.

The Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Association commissioned the Jiangsu provincial textile product quality supervision and Inspection Institute to test the samples.

The comparison test purchased 32 batches of home textiles.

After testing, 14 samples of the 32 samples were not in line with the national standards or the standards of execution as indicated by the enterprises. After some enterprises applied for reexamination, 12 of the samples did not conform to the national standards or the standards of execution specified by the enterprises.

For the relevant enterprises that fail to meet the standards in the inspection, the provincial Consumers Association will contact the distributors for the first time after obtaining the test reports, and invite relevant production enterprises to confirm the products and test results.

So far, there are still 2 enterprises with 12 existing problems, that is, Hangzhou fupeng down products Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Xiang family Textile Industrial Co., Ltd., no one has come to confirm that they are not paying enough attention to the problems of their products.

< /p >

< p > < strong > two, and the general situation of inspection is < /strong > < /p >.

< p > (1) the test basis is < /p >.

< p > the main basis for this inspection is GB5296.4-1998 "consumer goods instructions for use of textiles and clothing", GB18401-2010 "basic safety technical specification for national textile products", GB/T22844-2009 "matching bedding" or product related product standards.

< /p >

< p > (two) test item < /p >

< p > inspection of 11 indicators, including logo identification, fiber composition and content, odor, formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to water, color fastness to dry friction, color fastness to soaking, color fastness to soaping and fastness to light.

< /p >

< p > (three) the test result is < /p >.

< p > 1, formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, irritant and water-soluble gas.

The effects of formaldehyde on human health are mainly manifested in olfactory abnormalities, irritation, allergy, abnormal pulmonary function, and abnormal immune function.

Formaldehyde containing textiles will be released gradually from formaldehyde in the course of people's use, causing respiratory inflammation and skin inflammation through contact with respiratory tract and skin, and will also stimulate the eyes and cause allergies.

Among all the contacts, children and pregnant women are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde, and the harm is greater.

After testing, Dongguan Yalu Household Textile Co., Ltd. produced three Yalu aristocrats with formaldehyde content of 110mg/kg, higher than the national standard requirements of direct contact with skin products less than 75mg/kg.

< /p >

< p > the reason: formaldehyde is a ubiquitous substance in printing and dyeing finishing agents. Pure cotton textiles will use auxiliaries containing formaldehyde in order to prevent wrinkles, shrink shrinkages, or to maintain the durability of printing and dyeing or to improve their handle.

If these textiles are not treated thoroughly after treatment, the formaldehyde and formaldehyde content of textiles will be exceeded.

< /p >

< p > 2, pH value.

If pH value is maintained in weak acid or neutral range, it is beneficial to human health and has the function of protecting skin from infection.

If the acid or alkalinity of the textile extract is too large, it will cause the acidic or alkaline substances to dissolve and cause irritation or damage to the human skin during the contact process. It may cause skin flora imbalance, cause itching or pricking, and have adverse effects on human health, especially for children and women.

After testing, Shenzhen weinas bedding Co., Ltd. produced by weinard poetry luxurious jacquard four piece pH value (fabric 2) does not meet the national standard, 9.1, the national standard requires direct contact with skin products for 4.0-8.5.

< /p >

The process of scouring, bleaching or dyeing and printing is to be treated by fixing and reducing. The process requires a large number of soda ash, caustic soda, pH regulator, surfactant and so on. In addition, the raw materials, specifications and processing equipment and production processes of fabrics are different. In particular, during the production process, enterprises reduce production processes at will, and wash water (neutralization) is not thorough enough, resulting in the existence of acid and alkali residues in fabrics, resulting in unqualified pH value of products. Two, after the products are neutralized by weak acid and weak base, they will be darker, luster and even change in color. Therefore, in order to keep the bright luster of products, some enterprises are aware that the pH value of products is high and they are not neutralized. < p > the reasons for the failure are: first, the general fabric is desizing.

< /p >

< p > 3, fiber content.

Fiber content is an important index of the internal quality of textile products. Fiber content is not consistent with the indication value, not only can not correctly guide consumption, but also has the suspicion of deceiving consumers.

Although fiber content does not seriously affect the appearance and wearing of products in most cases, the quality and quantity of raw materials are one of the important factors that determine the price of the product. It is about whether consumers can understand the problem of consumption and corporate integrity.

Fiber content must be correctly marked as a promise and explicit guarantee made by an enterprise to consumers.

After testing, the measured values of the 4 products were not consistent with the label values: < /p >

< p > Shanghai Island Textile Co., Ltd. produces four sets of love flowers on the Isle island. The fiber content (determined) (jacquard)% label is marked as cotton 60 + 5, viscose 40 + 5, the measured value is 43.6 cotton, polyester fiber 56.4; < /p >

< p > Nantong Jie Yuan Textile Co., Ltd. Jay yuan elegant Satin Jacquard four piece sets, fiber content (fixed) (satin fabric)% label is marked as cotton 70 + 5, viscose rayon 30 + 5, the measured value is cotton 40.6, polyester fiber 59.4; < /p >

< p > Shenzhen weinas poetry bedding Co. Ltd. produces four pieces of luxurious jacquard, with fiber content (determined) (fabric 1)% labelled as cotton 100, the measured value is cotton 40, polyester fiber 60, fiber content (determined) (fabric 2)% label is marked as cotton 100, the measured value is cotton 67.6, regenerated cellulose fiber 32.4; < /p >

< p > Nantong Jinjie embroidery bedroom Co. Ltd. produces four pieces of jacquard jacquard. The fiber content (fixed) (table cloth)% label is marked as cotton 49 + 5, viscose 51 + 5, the measured value is 63.7 cotton, viscose fiber 36.3.

< /p >

< p > this comparison test is mainly inconsistent with the standard or the fiber content exceeds the allowable range.

The reasons are as follows: first, the upstream raw material production enterprises are marked by raw material feeding ratio, but the loss of some components in the actual production is too large or mixed with other fibers, which results in that the labeling does not meet the standards; two, when the logo is deliberately inferior, there is fraud and fraud; three, the downstream garment manufacturers do not have the ability to verify the quality, or to save the inspection cost, and to label the fiber composition and content provided by the upstream.

< /p >

< p > 4, color fastness.

Textiles will be exposed to various external functions such as lighting, washing, ironing, sweat stains, rubbing and chemical agents during their use. This requires a certain color fastness to the dyeing and printing of textiles.

Products with poor color fastness are not only easy to fade, affect the appearance of products, but also have a certain stimulating effect on human skin.

< /p >

< p class= "p15" style= "margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" > span style= "font-family:" Song body ";" font-size: ";" "" "" > "< < >", "song";

< p > < --EndFragment-- > (1) it has been tested that 4 brands of home textiles do not meet the national standard in light fastness to light fastness: four sets of montessex printing produced by Hangzhou fupeng down products Co., Ltd., four sets of long Xing cotton full scale cotton produced by Shanghai Xiang's home textile industry Co., Ltd., four sets of elegant furniture style produced by Nantong Jie Yuan Textile Co., Ltd., four sets of cotton bird's nest pure cotton twill sheets produced by Jiangyin red willow quilt Co., Ltd.

< /p >

< p > (2) it has been tested that 6 brands of home textile products do not meet the national standard of moisture resistance and color fastness: four products of the Beijing lotus lotus household products Co., Ltd., four sets of products made by Shanghai Yishi Home Textile Industry Co., Ltd., four sets of long Xing cotton movable sanded products produced by Shanghai Xiang family textile industry Co., Ltd., four pieces of Casa Tianjiao sheets produced by Cost household products Co., Ltd.

< /p >

< p > (3) it has been tested that 1 brands of home textiles are resistant to sweat stains and fastness. They do not meet the national standard: four sets of Monmouth printing products produced by Hangzhou fupeng down products Co., Ltd.

< /p >

< p > the reason why color fastness is not qualified: (1) the quality of the dyestuff itself is poor, so that it is not easy to maintain after color. Secondly, the dyeing process is not reasonable, and the fixing process is not well done in dyeing process; (3) the water is not clear in the finishing process.

< /p >

< p > for light fastness, the problem of light fastness of light and medium color products is serious. The fastness to light is directly proportional to the depth of the dyed products. The deeper the color, the better the fastness to light, the lighter the color, the worse the color fastness to light.

This is because the higher the dye concentration on the fiber, the larger the aggregation degree of dye molecules. The smaller the surface area of the same amount of dye contacting air, water and light, the lower the probability of dye being photooxidized.

On the contrary, the lighter the color, the higher the dispersion of dye on the fiber. The higher the probability of light exposure, the better the color fastness to light.

In essence, the fastness of light fastness to textile products is related to the chemical structure and stability of dyes used. The change of chemical structure of dyes caused by illumination is the fundamental cause of fading or discoloration of light.

< /p >

< p > 5, logo logo.

Logo logo allows consumers to accurately understand the product's performance, wear and washing matters needing attention.

According to GB5296.4-1998 regulations, fiber content, specification and type, washing method and so on shall be durable.

According to GB18401-2010 mandatory standards, product safety categories must also be annotated.

Consumers purchase labels and labels which are not standardized. Once the quality problems occur, it is difficult to safeguard their rights and interests.

< /p >

< p > the main reason is that the technical personnel of the manufacturing enterprises lack relevant professional knowledge, and they are not sure about the standards.

There are 7 batches of unidentified labels: Nantong Jinjie bedroom Embroidery Co., Ltd. produces four sets of Jinjie jacquard products, four sets of Monmouth printing products produced by Hangzhou fupeng feather products Co., Ltd., four sets of delais produced by Beijing Yi Lian Jia Mei household products Co., Ltd., four sets of love products produced by Shanghai Yishen Island Textile Co., Ltd., four sets of Love Island flowers produced by Shanghai Island Textile Co., Ltd., four pieces of Jay yuan elegant Satin Jacquard produced by Nantong Jie Yuan Textile Co., Ltd., three sets of elegant singles produced by Dongguan Yalu household textiles Co., Ltd. after testing

< /p >

< p > strong > three, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > price comparison < /a >: < /strong > /p >

< p > the 32 samples collected for the inspection have collected most of the brands sold in the Nanjing market. The highest price is violet violet home textile Polytron Technologies Inc producing four yuan sets of violet wedding pieces 1831 yuan / set; the lowest price is Shanghai Cheng Hong bedroom products Co., Ltd., the production of macro home textiles, cotton twill fine and simple four piece sets, long dream home furnishings, Limited by Share Ltd's dream home textiles dream dazzling three sets and Nantong Fu Ni Hua Textile Co., Ltd. produced by the Fu Ni Hua super soft velvet six sets, are 199 yuan / set.

(list attached) < /p >

< p > < strong > four, the cause of the problem is < /strong > < /p >.

< p > through this comparative test, we find that the main reasons for the problems are: first, some enterprises are not willing to make good use of raw materials to reduce costs, or intentionally or unintentionally disqualifying the cloth for production; two, some enterprises have not studied and studied the labeling knowledge of products, and the relevant national standards, so that they have made common sense mistakes in marking. Three, some enterprises do not monitor the quality of products, and are responsible for the relevant inspections in sales, and only detect individual batches.

< /p >

< p > < strong > five, consumption tips < /strong > < /p >

< p > 1, the product use instructions (identification) is an important way to understand product quality information. Consumers should carefully check the labels when choosing bedding items. The logo should contain important information such as fiber content, specification and type, washing method, product name, execution standard, factory name, plant location, safety category, etc., and try not to buy products with incomplete labeling.

< /p >

< p > 2, in textile dyeing and finishing process, a variety of finishing agents and auxiliaries should be used. If the processing technology is improper, the surplus chemical components will be damaged, which will cause harm to the human body.

When consumers choose to buy, they can smell smells and do not buy products that give off pungent odor.

In addition, consumers should wash before using the newly purchased bedding, so as to reduce the influence of residual alkaline substances and dye floating colors on the skin.

< /p >

< p > invoice after shopping. If there is any problem in product quality, please report it to the relevant department in time and complain.

< /p >

< p > < strong > six, and related suggestions < /strong > < /p >

< p > 1, sales enterprises should strengthen the study of product identification and labeling, strictly control the purchase of products for distribution, pay attention to the quality of products, urge suppliers to provide effective quality inspection certificates or check inspection reports of third party fair inspection organizations, and protect consumers' interests at the same time.

< /p >

< p > 2, production enterprises should strengthen the learning and execution of relevant technical standards of textile products, strengthen internal management and improve product quality.

< /p >

< p > 3, the regulatory authorities should intensify the publicity and enforcement of the laws and regulations on consumer rights and interests, the product quality law, and the mandatory standards of textile products, strengthen administrative supervision, strengthen corporate sense of responsibility, and effectively curb the occurrence of illegal practices such as fraud and shoddy, so as to purify the market environment.

< /p >

< p > we will hand over the production enterprises to the relevant administrative law enforcement departments for investigation.
