Infant Clothing: "Close" And More "Intimate".

Since August 1st, China's new mandatory national standard for textile products, the basic technical specification for national textile products, has been put into effect. The children's clothing will be more strictly national standard. Infants under 3 years old will be put into practice.

Class a standards must be achieved, otherwise production, sale and import will be prohibited.

So, is the non class a standard infant clothing really no longer on sale?

Most substandard

On the morning of August 5th, reporters visited several shopping malls and supermarkets in Beijing, and found that almost all the shopping malls and supermarkets were not sold according to the new national standard. Some shopping malls or supermarkets even sold C infant clothing.

In the interview, reporters also found that most of the children's clothing sold in some commercial buildings were not qualified, and some even had no tag.

A peddlers told reporters that these clothes could be worn by 1 year old children.

When a reporter asked why there was no label, the vendor replied, "these clothes are sold directly by factory.

The clothes are pure cotton. No one says that the quality is bad. We sell quite a lot every day.

Online sales of infant clothing also have many problems.

Reporters found on the Internet, many businesses are still selling non category infant clothing, and many summer children's clothing label is labeled C.

Reporters asked the businessmen whether they knew the new national standard when they asked them whether they knew the new national standard, but the "non class a infant clothing that had not been sold before could not be smashed in their hands". Besides, some consumers did not know the new national standard, nor did they care whether or not children's clothing reached class a standards.

Another businessman told reporters that some of the labels on infant clothing were not marked.

When a reporter inquired further about the source of his infant clothing, some businessmen replied that they were "foreign trade tail goods", while others were impatient to say "unclear".

Business sector to increase inspection efforts

The new national standard divides the textile products into three grades: A, B and C. Class a can be used for infants and girls, B can directly contact the skin, and C can not directly contact the skin.

Children's clothing, which is not more than 1 meters in height, belongs to the category of infant textiles, and its safety and technical requirements are higher.

For example, the formaldehyde content of class a products can not exceed 20 milligrams per kilogram, while the upper limit of formaldehyde content of class B and C products is 75 mg and 300 mg per kg respectively.

In terms of pH value, water resistance, sweat resistance and saliva resistance, the requirements for class a products are higher than those of category B and C.

The reporter understands, at present, many provinces and cities in the country's industrial and commercial organs have carried out the infant clothing market inspection.

Before the implementation of the new national standard, the Hunan Provincial Bureau of industry and Commerce extracted 85 samples from Yueyang, Yiyang, Loudi, Hengyang, Chenzhou, Changde and other 11 cities (States).

After testing, 63 groups were qualified, 22 failed, and the pass rate was 65%.

Hunan industrial and commercial bureau consumer rights protection office responsible person said, after the implementation of the new national standard, they will continue to pay attention to infant clothing, once found unqualified products, timely product shelves, and urge dealers to rectify.

Xuzhou industrial and commercial bureau of Jiangsu province has seized more than 2000 pieces of children's clothing that are not in line with the requirements of the new national standard, which are sold in the market on 8 brands.

Infant clothing market will accelerate shuffle

It is understood that the online sales of infant clothing stores are mostly purchased from the wholesale market in Guangzhou, Wuhan and other places, as well as from some small clothing factories in Guangzhou and other places.

"Many children's garments produced by many small garment factories are made of leftover leftover materials for making adult clothing. The cost is low, and the safety level is mostly B or C.

After the implementation of the new standards, production costs will definitely increase, so the survival space of small garment factories will shrink.

An insider told reporters.

"Infant clothing market will accelerate the shuffle."

This is a common view of the industry.

They believe that after the implementation of the new national standard, some small garment enterprises will no longer design and produce baby clothes under the pressure of cost, instead of processing some famous brand children's clothing factories.

In the long run, the whole industry will develop in a healthy and orderly way.

Three pay attention to buying baby clothes

Experts remind consumers to pay attention to the following three points in buying infant clothing.

Read the product logo carefully.

The logo of infant clothing must include two kinds of tag and durability mark. The product name, name and address of the production enterprise, washing method, size specification, raw material content, product standard number, product quality grade and safety technology category should be marked on these signs, and the words "baby products" should be specially marked on the logo.

Try to choose products with "eco fiber products logo" certification marks.

Only those products conforming to the concepts of green consumption and safety and environmental protection can be used.

Try to choose fabrics with natural fibers as raw materials. Clothing with direct contact with skin is best made of pure cotton material.

At the same time, try to choose clothes with little accessories. The color of the clothes should not be too bright.
