In the code, children's clothing products are classified into infant textile products suitable for infants aged 36 months and below, and children's textile products for children over 3 years of age and below 14 years of age. According to the "specifications", according to safety requirements, children's clothing safety technology categories can be divided into three categories: A, B and C.

According to the analysis, consumers can choose purchase criteria according to the safety categories specified in the instructions.

　 The new standard will be implemented in June next year.

"Standards just arrived, I believe many enterprises have not yet responded." Baiyun, Secretary General of Dongguan textile and garment industry association, thinks that the specification is conducive to the improvement of children's wear safety standards, and also helps children's clothing products to export.

This is also true. The National Standard Committee has revealed to the media that the specification has increased 6 kinds of plasticizers and limit requirements for 2 kinds of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium in chemical safety. These requirements are equivalent to the EU standard, higher than the US standard.

Since June 1, 2016, the specification has been formally implemented as a mandatory standard. It is foreseeable that the "specification" will be introduced to the first mandatory infant and child textile products standards in China, which will have a great impact on children's clothing industry and market. Baiyun said that many enterprises have to adapt to new standards, such as materials, technology, Design Even production lines are likely to be adjusted.

To this end, the National Standard Committee has disclosed to the media that a two-year transitional period has been set up to ensure a smooth transition of the market. Analysis said that this is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of technology and the digestion of existing stock.

Public reports show that the transition period is from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2018. Products that are manufactured before June 1, 2016 and meet the requirements of relevant standards can continue to be sold. The testing institutions shall be tested according to the standards executed by the enterprises, and all relevant product requirements in the market must conform to the standards from June 1, 2018 onwards.

Baiyun further analysis pointed out that after the transition period children's clothing products shall not be detected in violation of the requirements of the code, otherwise there must be no light punishment.

Or lift children's clothing industry shuffle.

"The impact on brand enterprises will be much smaller, and non brand enterprises will be under great pressure." This is children's wear. brand Pei Li, managing director of pencil club, has a view on the code.

In the textile and garment enterprises in Dongguan, children's clothing industry has developed rapidly, and a large number of famous brands such as Xiao Hu, Ni, ban, ban, and pencil club have sprung up, occupying a large share of the domestic market. Baiyun believes that due to the mandatory standards require enterprises to upgrade technology, technology and other aspects, will inevitably bring a certain industry shuffle, a small number of small businesses may therefore withdraw from the market.

As early as the "specification" was promulgated, the Dongguan textile and garment industry launched the implementation of three children's wear alliance standards in 2012, promoting the standardization of children's clothing production and research and development in Dongguan. For example, "children's clothing safety technical specification" emphasizes the safety of product technology from the aspects of children's clothing's internal, external and packaging; and the specification for the combustion performance of textiles and children's pajamas provides uniform standards for the flammability of baby pajamas, etc. the standard of "woven student clothes" stipulates the requirements, testing methods, inspection classification rules, and technical features of signs, packaging, transportation and storage of woven students' clothing.

"There will be more mandatory standards in the future," Pei Li said. The demand for children's clothing market in China is getting higher and higher, and more and more problems such as chemical element content exceeding standard will not be tolerated. Enterprises must adapt themselves to this. trend 。 Media coverage shows that the scale of children's clothing market in China will reach 200 billion yuan in 2015, the next 20 years. Children's wear The industry is promising.
