Xiaoshan Inspection And Quarantine Bureau Strictly Regulate Imported Textiles To Return A Batch Of Imported T-Shirts From France.

Recently,

The inspection and quarantine bureau successfully returned a shipment from France.

Chemical fibre system

Female style

A total of 80 pieces.

The above garments were tested by spot sampling and found that the pH value is 9.4, which does not meet the requirements of the mandatory standard GB18401-2010 in China.

According to the relevant provisions of the People's Republic of China standardization law and the implementation regulations of the People's Republic of China standardization law, products that do not meet the above standards shall be prohibited from importation and sale.

After the communication and consultation between the trade importers and foreign businessmen in the jurisdiction, the Xiaoshan inspection and Quarantine Bureau carried out the handling of the goods.

The pH value in textiles refers to the residual acid and alkali content in fabrics, which is one of the limited indicators that affect the safety and health of human body.

The national standard GB18401-2010, the basic technical specification for national textile products, stipulates that the pH value of infant textile products (class a requirements) should be controlled at 4 to 7.5. The pH value of textile products directly exposed to the skin (class B requirements) should be controlled at 4 to 8.5. The pH value of textile products that are not directly exposed to the skin (C requirements) should be controlled at 4 to 9. If the products need to be processed by wet process, the pH value can be relaxed to 4 to 10.5.

Under normal circumstances, the pH of human skin is between 5.5 and 7, and is weakly acidic.

The excessive pH value of textiles will damage the weak acidic environment of human skin surface, cause itching, and make the skin vulnerable to other pathogens and even cause dermatitis.

In addition, the high or low pH value of the fabric will make the fabric easy to damage during storage.

It can be seen that the pH value of textile products is closely related not only to the health of consumers, but also to the quality of textile products.

Here, Xiaoshan inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds relevant enterprises that imported textiles must meet the requirements of China's technical specifications.

Before importing products, we must first understand the national mandatory standards of the products, strengthen communication with customers, sign relevant product quality conformance agreements, eliminate the inflow of unqualified products, and avoid unnecessary economic losses due to trade disputes.
