No Rope Is Allowed In The Head And Neck Of Children Under 7 Years Of Age.

National mandatory standard GB31701-2015 infants and children

The safety technical specification has been implemented since June 1st.

The standard specifies the requirements for children's clothing, such as head, neck, shoulder, waist and other parts, requiring infants and children under 7 years of age.

No rope is allowed in the head and neck, and the attachment should have some tensile strength, and there should not be sharp edges and sharp edges.

So, what is the overall situation of the infant and children's clothing sold in the market? The evaluation report released by China Consumers Association today shows that there are 18 hidden safety problems in the 40 garment samples purchased from the physical store, accounting for nearly one and a half.

To this end, the evaluation report pointed out that the rope is too long, the back rope is stretched out or fasten, and the design of rope in the head and neck of infant clothing is more prominent, and there are security risks, which should cause great concern.

It is reported that during the period from 4 to May, the China Consumer Association carried out the evaluation of some infant and children clothing products sold on the market.

The test is mainly based on the GB31701-2015 "infant and child textile product safety technical specification" to conduct professional inspection of clothing appearance and safety, in order to find out the problems and defects in the appearance and safety of the test samples, and the possible harm to the children, and to remind consumers how to choose safe and comfortable clothes for the children.

40 samples of baby garments were evaluated by experts. Apart from the fact that the design of rope in the head and neck was more prominent, it was found that some attachments (buttons, ornaments, etc.) on some infant clothing samples were not strong enough, and there were potential safety hazards.

If the attachment falls off during the process of pulling, and the small attachment that falls off is eaten by the child, it may cause suffocation and cause serious injury.

In addition, the sewing position of durable labels is also improved. Individual samples have thread ends and sewing work needs to be improved.

Of the 40 samples, only a small number of samples were stitched on the outside of the durability labels. Most of the samples worn by infants and young children wore their durability labels inside the clothes, which affected the comfort of the clothes.

The evaluation report also points out that there are differences in samples from different sales channels.

The samples purchased from the wholesale market of small commodities have such problems as no manufacturer's name and address, no fiber content, no implementation standard, no safety category, no product name, irregular shape, inconsistent fiber contents of internal and external standards, and inaccurate fiber names.

Consumers may not have quality assurance for buying these goods.

Based on the safety hazard discovered in the assessment, the China Consumer Association appealed: the manufacturer of baby clothes should run through every link of product design and processing, strictly enforce the national standards, fulfill the corporate social responsibility and establish a good social image; the relevant industries and regulators should further strengthen supervision and management, purify the consumption environment of children's clothing market; the whole society should work together to bring the children's clothing designed and manufactured in China to every child to bring a happy childhood.
