A dozen mothers volunteering for spot checks.

Since June 1st this year, the state has implemented the safety technical specification for infant and child textile products, which stipulates that textile products for infants and young children under the age of 3 must meet the highest safety level - class a requirements.

Anhui Province

What is the market's response to the new standard? What products can make consumers feel at ease? Recently, the Anhui Consumer Protection Committee has conducted a comparative test of 29 brand infant clothing.

The pass rate is 68.97%.

Anhui Provincial Consumer Protection Committee responsible person said, the comparative test sample is the provincial consumer protection committee staff in the market as an ordinary consumer identity purchase.

The samples are all children's clothing under 3 years old. There are baby conjoined clothes, climbing suits, T-Shirts, trousers and dresses.

Of the 29 samples, 20 sample test items met the relevant standard requirements, accounting for 68.97% of the total sample size, while the remaining 9 samples had 16 indicators, accounting for 31.03% of the total sample size.

It is worth mentioning that this comparative experiment specially invited a dozen experienced mothers to express their feelings for 29 brands of clothing.

According to their own experience, "Mama" according to their own experience, conscientiously evaluated the safety of the sample clothing in terms of its permeability, softness, dimensional proportions, convenience for wearing, and accessories (buttons and zippers).

The results of formaldehyde and other tests were satisfactory.

The formaldehyde content, the decomposition of carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and extractable heavy metals in the samples were tested.

The results showed that the safety parameters of formaldehyde content, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye and extractable heavy metals in 29 samples met the requirements of national mandatory standards.

In the 29 brand samples pH value detection, only Snoopy a brand sample test results exceeded the scope of the national regulations.

The pH value is an important indicator of the fabric's pH.

The difference between the pH value and the human skin is too large. It will irritation to the skin, cause skin allergy or induce infection, and make the skin vulnerable to other pathogens.

The national standard stipulates that the pH value of infant clothing should be between 4.0-7.5, and the pH value of Snoopy sample is 8.4.

It is urgent to pay attention to the low color fastness.

According to the characteristics of infants' delicate skin, large activity, sweating and frequent gnawing clothes, this test focuses on the dry color fastness to moisture, color fastness to rubbing, acid fastness, sweat fastness, water fastness and saliva fastness.

The results showed that 8 indicators of 3 brand samples of the 29 brand samples were lower than the national standard, while the 46 color fastness indexes of the 23 brand samples only reached the national minimum standard value in the samples of the 3 brands.

Data show that 80% skin problems of infants and young children are related to clothing.

Infants and young children, whose skin is not yet fully developed, is weak in external resistance, and is susceptible to allergies and absorption of foreign substances. Dye molecules and heavy metal ions in decolorizing pigments are likely to be absorbed by infants and young children.

In order to ensure the health and safety of infants and young children, the state stipulates the color fastness index of infants and young children in dry, wet, frictional, acid, alkaline, sweat, water and saliva situations.

Labels, bags, and shoulder straps remind less of security risks

The national mandatory standard GB31701-2015 stipulates that the durable labels on children's clothing that can be worn on clothing can be placed in a position not touching the skin.

In this comparative test, it was found that 20 brands of 29 brands were not in conformity with the durability label position, accounting for 68.97% of the total number of samples tested.

For infants and young children, plastic bags for clothing is a dangerous thing. If they are not collected in time, they may be lick or play on their heads and suffocate.

In this comparative experiment, 29 brands of samples were carefully compared with each other, and 19 warning samples were found.

The outer package warning is best: "to avoid suffocating danger, keep this plastic bag away from infants and children."

Please do not use it in baby stall, baby carriage and baby pen.

This plastic bag is not a toy. "

It should be noted that for the convenience of infants to wear and undress, shoulder straps, ropes and loops are very common, but there are also hidden dangers.

If the head and neck are not allowed to have a rope, the shoulder strap is not fixed, or the rope is too long, it may cause the suffocation of the neck of the infant.

In this comparative test, there are 4 garment samples with shoulder straps, ropes and belts. The test results show that the clothing strength of the garment is only 30.7N. The shoulder strap of SeRGeNTMaJoR brand clothing is not fixed, discontinuous and has free ends.
