Interpretation Of The New National Standard "Infant And Child Textile Products Safety Technology"

Advocate green

Enjoy the beautiful childhood! For children of children's clothing, the safety of children's clothing is always the pain point of their consumption.

In June 1st of 2016, the safety technology of infant and children textile products will be formally implemented, and the "green children's clothing" has been further guaranteed.

This is the exclusive dialogue for spinning labels.

Mr. Wang Baojun, deputy general manager of the inspection and Certification Center, opened up the story behind the green standards for us.

Ten years long run final landing

As one of the standard contributors, Wang Baojun has a deep feeling.

"This standard is started on the basis of a project on safety evaluation of children's articles, and we have gone through ten years from drafting, passing trial to publication.

This is not only the first mandatory technical regulation specially designed for infants and young children in China, but also a new height for China's legal system construction.

Wang Baojun said, in the past, the requirements of children's clothing in China were all recommended. As a mandatory regulation, the National Children's clothing and the importance of green were seen.

This standard has carried out a comprehensive regulation on the safety performance of children's clothing, and has carefully divided the product categories into 3 stages, namely 0~3 years old, 3~7 years old and 7~14 years old.

In the implementation of standards, the product category should be judged first according to product category.

In view of the particularity of infants and children groups, the standard has further improved the safety requirements of infants and children's textile products on the basis of the original textile safety standards, and the safety requirements of children's clothing have been upgraded in an all-round way.

These regulations will help to guide production enterprises to improve the safety and quality of children's clothing and protect the health and safety of infants and children.

Wang Baojun stressed that the standard is different from previous recommended standards, in addition to the first mandatory state regulations, many of which try to take into account the details of consumers' daily wear.

In terms of chemical safety requirements, the standard set limits on 6 kinds of plasticizers and 2 heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.

Lead and cadmium appeared in the regulations for the first time.

It is worth noting that the flame retardance mentioned before in various related recommended standards has been changed to "flammability" in this standard.

It seems that the request has been reduced, but it is not.

Wang Baojun explained that production enterprises must add flame-retardant chemicals to achieve flame retardancy, and most of these chemicals are strictly prohibited by standard. Therefore, the "flame retardance" is modified to be "combustible", which slows down the burning rate of children's clothing, and the buffer time can avoid danger for children.

In terms of mechanical safety, the standard specifies the rope belts for different parts of children's clothing, such as head, neck, shoulder and waist, requiring that no rope should be allowed in the head and neck of infants and children under 7 years of age. The standard also stipulates textile accessories, requiring attachments to have certain tensile strength, and there should be no sharp edges and sharp edges.

"If the extension plan is conceived, maybe it is precisely the specification requirements for the accessories of children's clothing, the trend of children's clothing design will gradually change in the next 3~5 years. Children's clothing with simple, comfortable, practical and safe will occupy the main children's clothing market in China."

Wang Baojun analyzed.

Standard "post economy" assumption

According to statistics, the annual output growth rate of these children's clothing industrial clusters can reach 25%~30%, far higher than that of adult clothing.

The fast growing children's wear market has attracted many competitors, both at home and abroad.

,

The fast fashion clothing brand and the online clothing brand compete for the first thing to divide the cake of children's clothing.

Some analysts said that the release of standards or trigger the most cruel children's clothing industry shuffle.

Green children's clothing is widely loved by consumers because of its advantages such as good moisture absorption, strong permeability, comfortable and soft fitting.

The survey found that 40% of children's clothing consumers in China are willing to be "green clothes" with higher product prices, and their market prospects are very broad.

Driven by the new standards, the greening and safety of children's clothing will no longer bother domestic consumers.

Some of the children who have been shunted only to buy children's clothing abroad will slowly return to the domestic children's wear market.

At the same time, with the opening of the "two child" good policy, children's clothing market will be brighter.

In order to ensure the smooth pition of the market, the standard has set up a pitional period of two years, that is, June 1, 2016 ~2018 May 31st.

During the pition period, the products that were manufactured and met the relevant standards before June 1, 2016 were allowed to continue to be sold in the market. The testing institutions were tested according to the standards executed by the enterprises.

From June 1, 2018 onwards, relevant products on the market must meet the requirements of this standard.

Wang Baojun explained that the reason for the pition period was that the standard raised the requirements for textile products for children, and enterprises needed a certain time to complete the technological pformation and upgrading.

At the same time, as a product of anti season production, the production and sales cycle of textile products is longer, and it takes a certain time to digest inventory.

Therefore, the key point in the pition period is "de Stocking".

The production enterprises that have fallen through the textile and garment enterprises due to inventory problems are everywhere. If the implementation of standards is repeated, it will be contrary to the original intention of the inventor.

Reporters found that if the standard is compared with the provisions of the European Union and the United States on infant standards, it will be found that this standard is more stringent than other countries.

For example, the regulations on lead and cadmium heavy metals exceed the requirements of the European Union and other countries.

Wang Baojun told reporters that after the implementation of the standard, the China textile standard will continue to revise the standard.

The revised contents include the requirement for heavy metals to be expanded from two kinds of lead and cadmium to ten heavy metals, such as Hg, Sb, Sb, Sb and Se, and further regulations on decomposable aromatic amines.
