The children's food problem caused by Sanlu milk powder makes Chinese manufacturing meet the product safety crisis again.

Children have always been a key protection group. Any products that children or infants are exposed to should be strictly checked to ensure their safety so as to prevent harm to children.

Children's textiles and clothing are another daily necessities of direct contact with children.

From the recall and notification of the export of children's clothing, it seems that the excessive content of harmful substances, the potential dangers of rope and small parts are the focus of supervision for children's clothing in the United States, the European Union and Japan.

At home, from the national quality inspection department, the results of spot checks of children's clothing products in various provinces and municipalities in the country have been analyzed, and these products have different quality problems.

Excessive formaldehyde, rope and belt safety and azo dyes and other hazards of product safety "culprit" is increasingly affecting consumer confidence in buying.

In October 1, 2008, China's first "infant clothing standard" FZ/T81014-2008 was officially implemented. This is the first national industrial standard formulated specifically for infants and young children's clothing safety, and all clauses concerning infant and young children's clothing safety are mandatory.

Different countries have different regulations and standards for monitoring the safety of children's textiles and clothing.

Tianxiang group textile department has been testing services for textile and apparel exported to various countries and domestic production and marketing in China for many years.

Through all kinds of regulatory testing and product performance testing, manufacturers can ensure product quality and minimize trade risk, and also provide confidence for consumers.

In view of the safety of children's textiles and clothing, the following items are monitored and implemented by quality inspection departments and consumers.

PH value

The acid and alkali materials used in textile production cause pH value to be partial or acid.

The surface of human skin is slightly acidic. PH high or low textiles easily cause skin damage and skin allergy, while pH neutral or slightly acidic textiles do not damage the skin.

China's national compulsory standard GB 18401 divides infant products into category a textile products, and stipulates that the pH value is between 4.0-7.5.

The pH value of textiles in Europe, America and other countries can not be stipulated temporarily, but buyers have certain requirements.

Fire safety of children's pajamas

All kinds of fire hazards are ubiquitous in people's daily life.

In order to reduce the fire accidents caused by flammable textiles and reduce the harm to people's lives and property, the testing of textile combustion properties has attracted worldwide attention.

Unlike the European Union and Japan, the textile technical regulations of the United States specially emphasize the requirements of Flame Retardancy for textiles: the textiles used for clothing must meet the 1 level requirements stipulated in 16 CFR 1610, and children's pajamas are required to meet the requirements of 16 CFR 1615 and 1616.

Flame retardant testing standards for children's pajamas in various countries:

US children's late wear US CPSC 16 CFR 1615/1616;

Australian children's evening wear AS/NZS 1249;

European Union children's late wear EN 14878;

Formaldehyde Formaldehyde Content

The role of formaldehyde in textiles is to form a cross-linking agent with artificial resins, forming a protective layer on the sample, which has the functions of ironing, shrinkproof, wrinkle resistant and easy to decontamination.

However, excessive formaldehyde can cause inflammation of mucous membrane and respiratory tract, and may also lead to dermatitis and even carcinogenesis.

Limit requirements for formaldehyde in children's textiles in some countries / regions:

China GB 18401-2003 infant products (Class A) formaldehyde content is 20mg/kg.

The European Union eco textile label (Eco-labeling) infant textile formaldehyde content is 30mg/kg.

In Japan No. 112 (1973), the formaldehyde content of infants under 2 years old is 20mg/kg.

20 countries such as Switzerland, Oeko-Tex Standard 100-2008, infant products (category I) can not detect formaldehyde;

Azo Azo Dyestuff/ carcinogenic Allergenic Disperse Dyestuff/ sensitized Carcinogenic Dyestuff dye

In textile production process, some azo dyes can be decomposed to produce carcinogenic aromatic amines, and some disperse dyes can cause allergic reactions.

If these dyes contact the skin for a long time, they will be absorbed by the body and cause damage to the human body.

In the international trade of textiles and clothing, the use of these dyes is in the controlled range.

20 known dyes are known as disperse dyes.

The corresponding control items and regulations of children and adults in textile and clothing industry in various countries:

• azo dyes capable of decomposing carcinogenic aromatic amines.

-2002/61/EC, 2004/21/EC

- Germany, Holland, Austria legislation

- China GB 18401

- China infant clothing standard FZ/T 81014-2008

• sensitized disperse dyes.

-Eco-label (2002/371/EC)

-LMBG section 30
