Two. Test standards and projects

31701-2015 "infant and child textile product safety technical specification", "GB/T 31900-2015" woven children's clothing ", FZ/T 73045-2013" knitted children's garments ", FZ/T 73020-2012" knitted casual wear ", GB/T 81006-2017" knitted T-shirt ", GB/T 22853-2009" knitted sportswear ", GB/T 8878-2014" cotton knitted underwear "and other related standards and related enterprise standards.

They were century Jin Yuan shopping center, Cui Wei Department store, Beijing sate Department Store Co., Ltd., Beijing carrefour commercial limited company (Malian Road store) and Decathlon. There are pH values, color fastness to moisture and rubbing, instructions for use, fiber composition and content. I will transfer the samples to the relevant administrative departments for processing.

1.pH value

The pH value of children's clothing is determined by testing the pH value of the fabric's water extract. If the printing and dyeing auxiliaries are not fully washed or neutralized in the process of textile processing, the high pH and acid content on the fabric may destroy the acid-base balance of the human epidermis and lead to bacteria. After testing, the pH values of the 2 samples do not meet the requirements of the national mandatory standards.

2. color fastness

The color fastness project mainly examines the dyeing fastness of dyestuffs on children's garments. Children's clothes with poor color fastness are easily stained with other clothing when they are exposed to various forces during their wearing and using. They can affect the appearance of the clothes, and the dyes that fall off may be harmful to the health through the absorption of the skin by the human body. After testing, the color fastness to wet rubbing of the 2 samples did not meet the requirements of the national mandatory standards. The standards required that the color fastness to wet rubbing should be more than 2-3 grade. The wet rubbing fastness test results of the 2 samples were all 2 grade.

3. instructions for use (identification)

The information of use instruction (identification) has the function of guiding and guiding consumption, protecting consumers' rights and interests, and enhancing the reputation of enterprises. The tag and durable label are the main forms of use instructions for children's clothing. The 3 sample instructions do not conform to the relevant standard requirements. They do not meet the requirements. They include: lack of safety category, marking of the implementation of product standards, lack of information on the durability labels, non-standard information, inconsistent information on the tag and durability labels, and so on. 

4. Fiber composition and content

Fiber composition and content is the most direct way for enterprises to convey the ingredients of children's clothing, and is an important index for consumers to choose children's clothing. This comparative test is made in 1 Jin Yuan's shopping center, which is purchased in the name of "Tao Yi Da International Children's articles (Beijing) Co., Ltd.". The T-shirt of the trademark "KIDSHOLIC" is characterized by fiber composition and content which are not in conformity with the test value. The nominal fiber composition and content are "90% cotton and 10% spandex", and the actual test result is "100% cotton". The price of the product is 249 yuan. There are some problems in the instructions. Specific samples are available.

5. Other projects

The children's clothing comparison test other test items can decompose carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, formaldehyde content, sweat stain color fastness (acid and alkali), dry friction color fastness, color fastness to wash (soap), touches sharp sharp and sharp edges, rope requirements are consistent with the relevant standard requirements. Other safety performance indicators such as total lead, ortho benzene two formic acid and extractable heavy metals were not found.

Four, consumer tips

Children's physical development is not yet mature, their ability to resist disease and the ability to deal with safety problems are limited. Parents need to choose carefully when buying clothes.

1. parents should try their best to choose a brand with good reputation when purchasing children's clothing products. They should pay attention to asking for invoices and keeping shopping vouchers when purchasing. When they appear quality problems, they can be used as important vouchers for consumer rights protection.

2. pay attention to information about children's clothing instructions. The use instructions (labels) usually exist in the form of tag and durability labels to see if they indicate the manufacturer's name and address, product name, product size or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance method, product standard and safety category, and select the trustworthy commodities according to relevant information. There are many forms of identification, but the content should be comprehensive.

3. not only pay attention to style and brand, but also pay attention to the safety and health performance of children's clothing. The rope should not be too long for children's clothing, so as to avoid causing accidents such as injury and entangling. The accessories should not have sharp sharp edges and sharp edges, so as not to accidentally injure children. Pay attention to checking whether there is any pungent smell or other peculiar smell. If there is a pungent smell, do not buy it, so as not to affect children's health due to excessive chemical substances.

4. pay attention to see whether there are any breakage, needle holes, stains and poor prints on the surface of children's clothing. See whether the sewing lines are straight, and the quality of various accessories and ingredients, such as whether the slide fastener is slippery, and whether the buttons are firm or not. Before washing, you should first wash and bask in the sun, and pay attention to washing, using and nursing matters on clothing.

Attachment: all quality indicators conform to national and relevant standards.
