At Present, Most Of The Household Textile Products In China Are Far From The Requirements Of The New Standard.

On "61" children's day, many children are excited by receiving their beloved gifts, but for babies.

It is hard for a manufacturing enterprise to laugh at this day.

Because the first mandatory national standard GB31701-2015 specifically for baby textile products in China, "infant and children's textile product safety technical specifications" was formally implemented in June 1st this year.

Although the relevant standard requirements have been released as early as last year, when the naive arrival, many baby textile production enterprises still can hardly conceal their anxieties.

Some enterprises even say that after the implementation of the standards, they will consider turning into other categories of textile products.

It is more like a joke that an enterprise turns to a standard.

But when the reporter interviewed some children's home textile enterprises, their answers let the reporter realize that most of the baby household textile products in our country are far away from the requirements of the new standards, and some even let the production enterprises want to give up.

New standard bankrupt enterprises rebuild production line

"If it is produced according to the new standard of baby products, then it is used for products.

The cost of R & D, raw material procurement, laboratory testing and other aspects will be greatly improved, and I still need to invest millions of dollars in conservative estimation.

A head of a company who has worked in the home textile industry for 5 years has told reporters that the introduction of the new standard will greatly improve the technical threshold of our baby textile products, which is a great challenge to the economic strength and technological level of the enterprise.

It is reported that the new standard has been established for 8 years, and the requirements are fully in line with international standards. At the same time, it also absorbs and draws on the technical regulations and requirements of the developed countries concerning the safety of baby textile products, which has been equivalent to or even surpassed that of developed countries.

"According to the specific contents of the new standards, we may need to add a new line of baby products that meets the standards, and differentiate them from adult household textile products."

The person in charge said.

Reporters learned in the interview that the new baby product line is not a problem faced by this enterprise, but is a common problem faced by most children's home textile brands.

Before the implementation of the new standard, the main applicable standard of China's textile products is the national basic safety technical specification for textile products (GB18401-2010), which is applicable to the production, sale and consumption of textiles, including household, infant and children textile products, and the standard division between products is not very clear.

As a result, many previous production of household textile products will use the same production line or similar product standards to produce baby home textiles.

But after the implementation of the new standard, this situation will not be allowed. This is also the main reason for many children's home textile enterprises to feel worried and difficult.

It is understood that the formulation of the new standard is specifically aimed at infants and children's textile products sold in our country, and their application objects are more specific and more clearly defined.

In addition, the requirements of the new criteria for classification and assessment are also more focused on infant safety. In addition to chemical safety, 6 plasticizers and two kinds of heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, are added.

Some home textile brands say that the implementation of the new standard is very stressful for small textile companies.

In terms of standards, product identification is divided into three categories: A, B and C according to safety technology. Class A is the best, followed by B class, and C class is the basic requirement.

Among them, infant textile products should comply with class a requirements; children's textile products with direct contact with skin should meet the requirements of category B at least; children's textile products with direct contact with skin should at least meet the requirements of category C.

On the whole, the standards revolve around product safety.

Two years of pition, then look at the survival of the fittest brand

Since last year, the demand for home textile market at home and abroad has been weakening, and will the implementation of the new standard really become "the last straw"?

They believe that from the perspective of the long-term development of baby textile products market, the introduction of the new standard will be conducive to the improvement of China's textile industry's overall production safety technical standards, and help enterprises to carry out technological innovation and product upgrading, which is more in line with international standards and market demands, and is of great significance to the development of the whole baby market.

In addition, according to the relevant regulations, the new standard has set up a pitional period of two years. The products that are manufactured before June 1, 2016 and meet the requirements of relevant standards are allowed to continue to be sold in the market. Since June 1, 2018, all relevant products in the market must meet the requirements of this standard.

Relatively speaking, enterprises have been given sufficient time to adjust, and after the pition period, China's baby textile industry will face the situation of reshuffling. If baby small clothing and home textile small and micro enterprises fail to update in time, they will probably be eliminated by the market.

In fact, the implementation of the new standard is the need for the industry to carry out the survival of the fittest. Although it looks harsh, some related standards have been implemented abroad for many years.

In contrast, China's previous standards are too backward, which also makes the quality of our baby textile products lower than foreign brands.

For this view, Wang Zhiquan CEO agrees.

Tai Po also produces adult and baby textile products, but the release and implementation of this new standard have not affected them.

Because at the time of its establishment, Da Pu used the Japanese standard to produce adult household textile products, and this standard has been able to reach the Chinese infant product standard.

"The formaldehyde content of clothing, towels, bath towels and other products directly exposed to skin for adults in China is not more than 75 mg, but the Japanese standard is less than 20 mg.

For infants and young children, the formaldehyde content of clothing products directly exposed to skin is not more than 20 mg, while the Japanese standard is less than 16 mg, and many kinds of products are even 0 mg.

Therefore, the implementation of the new standard has not had much impact on the big Pu, which basically set the standard of production for adults and children's home textile products basically the same.

On the contrary, the new standard will also become an important measure to distinguish our peers. "

Wang Zhiquan said.

Because, in his view, the previously imperfect industry standard system and lower product standards require that it is difficult to show that the park is superior to other brands, and the new standard will become the sole criterion for consumers to identify the quality of products.

In the case of the overall improvement of standards, Tai Po occupies the first mover advantage.

It can be seen that the release of a new standard is a blow for some enterprises and opportunities for other enterprises.

In fact, in the long run, upgrading the overall quality standard of home textile industry is a matter of time.

In recent comments issued by the general office of the State Council on the launching of the "three products" special action to create a good market environment for the consumer goods industry, international benchmarking and quality inspection, testing and certification have been clearly included in the development tasks.

"It will not be long before the Chinese children's home textile market will face a reshuffle. I hope that at that time, I can talk about the feeling of" surviving the aftermath of life. "

The head of the home textile company, who never wanted to be named in the newspaper, told reporters.
