The First Mandatory National Standard For Textile Products For Infants And Children Will Be Implemented In June.

With the improvement of people's living standard and the change of consumption concept of children's articles, children's clothing is being used as an example.

The important part of the market has broad development space.

Children have gradually become

The most potential consumer group.

Children are in the stage of growth and development, and their physical changes lead to frequent replacement of their clothes. Those seemingly clean and beautiful clothes sometimes become "invisible killer" threatening their health. Children's safety and health projects fail to meet the mandatory standard requirements: formaldehyde content exceeds standard, pH value is not up to standard, product ingredient identification is not consistent with actual measurement, color fastness is not up to standard, rope and belt are not up to standard requirements, appearance quality is defective, and so on.

For continuous improvement of infants and children

On the basis of issuing GB18401-2010's "national textile product basic safety technical specification", the National Standard Committee has issued the mandatory national standard GB31701-2015 "infant and child textile product safety technical specification". The standard was officially released in May 26, 2015. It is the first mandatory national standard specifically for infants and children's textile products (children's wear). It will be formally implemented in June 1, 2016 and the pitional period will be 2 years.

Products that are manufactured before June 1, 2016 and meet the relevant standard requirements are allowed to continue to be sold in the market until May 31, 2018.

　　該標準對市場上普遍關注的嬰幼兒及兒童服裝產品的安全性問題作了技術性的規定，除對織物的面料、里料的重金屬殘留量、鄰苯二甲酸酯、燃燒性能等安全性要求進行了詳細的規定外，對填充物、包括纖維類填充物、羽絨羽毛填充物及其他填充物的技術要求分別作了詳細規定;在附件方面，規定了嬰童紡織產品所用附件不應存在可觸及的銳利尖端和銳利邊緣，且可能被嬰幼兒抓起咬住的各類附件抗拉強力應符合相關技術指標;在繩帶方面，對嬰童服裝頭頸、肩部、腰部等不同部位的繩帶均做出了詳細規定;該標準還規定了嬰童紡織產品的包裝中不使用或殘留金屬針等銳利物;可貼身穿著的嬰幼兒服裝耐久性標簽應置于不與皮膚直接接觸的位置;非紡織附件的其他要求需符合國家相關法規和強制性標準等。

As the first mandatory standard for children's textile products in China, the new standard fully absorbs and draws on the technical and regulatory requirements of developed countries concerning the safety of baby textile products, and its strictness has surpassed that of developed countries.

Among them, the unreasonable design of rope, machinery and so on has filled up the blank of our standard. In chemical safety, 6 plasticizers and the limit requirements of two kinds of heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, have been stricter than the relevant standards of the United States. The requirements for rope and chemical safety have also surpassed the relevant national standards such as Japan and Korea.

After the implementation of the new standard, our children's clothing enterprises will further strengthen the quality management and testing of product safety, and the business risks and costs of children's clothing enterprises will be improved.

At the same time, the introduction of the new standard will greatly improve the technical threshold of our baby textile products, and bring about a great increase in the cost of product design and research, raw material procurement, laboratory testing and so on.

As the inspection and supervision department of imported garments, the inspection and quarantine department reminds consumers that when choosing children's clothing, we should pay attention to the following aspects: whether there are trademarks or factory names in Chinese products.

Is there any clothing logo on the product?

The size mark is similar to the dress code, and is separated from the pattern by diagonal line, for example, the coat 145/68, which is suitable for children with 145cm height and 68cm around the chest.

There is no ingredient identification on the product. It mainly refers to the identification of the fabric and interior material of the garment.

The contents and contents of the filler should also be specified in the garment with filler.

Are there any graphic symbols and instructions on the product and can read the washing and maintenance requirements?

Is there any product certificate, product execution standard number, product quality grade and other identification on the product?

If the product is labeled with formaldehyde, a class 0~24 infant clothing should be less than 20mg/kg for a period of 0~24 months, and children's clothing with direct contact with the skin is less than 75mg/kg for more than 24 months. Children's clothing with non direct contact with the skin is less than 300mg/kg.

The permanent identification of children's clothing should be made of soft material and sewn in the proper place, so as to avoid direct contact with children's skin and prevent the children's skin from being damaged by friction.

The release of this standard reflects our government's attention to the safety problems of infants and children and the determination to regulate the production and sale of such products. For the vast number of importers and manufacturers, we need to organize technical personnel to study the contents of this standard in a timely manner, and inform the manufacturers of foreign countries about the technical requirements of the standard in advance. During the production process, the technical requirements of the standard are put into the actual product quality control and management, and the quality of production management and product quality is effectively improved, and the risk of the return or destruction of the inspection and quarantine department is caused by the reasonable avoidance of the safety performance of infants and children's clothing after failing to meet the national standards.
