Beijing Consumers Association: 7 Children'S Clothing Has Not Reached The National And Related Standards.

In order to understand the quality of children's clothing in Beijing market, the Consumer Association of Beijing recently carried out a comparative test on some children's clothing products sold on the market.

According to the test report, 7 of the 80 children's clothing products in the comparison test did not meet the requirements of the state and related standards. The overall rate of non-compliance was 8.75%, which involved 5 shopping centers such as century Jin Yuan shopping center, Cui Wei Department store, Beijing sate Department Store Co., Ltd., Beijing carrefour commercial limited company (Malian Road store).

The main non - standard items are pH value, moisture resistance color fastness, use description, fiber composition and content.

The samples of the comparative test are purchased by the staff as ordinary consumers from the shopping mall of Beijing, Jin Yuan, shopping mall, Century Shopping Center, blue port Shopping Center (Wukesong), urban and rural commerce (Group), contemporary shopping mall, Carrefour (Ma Lian Road store), Decathlon (big country shop) and so on. The 80 children clothing products which are produced in Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shandong, Tianjin and so on are 68 brands.

This test compares the price of children's clothing products at the lowest price of 49 yuan / piece, the highest 1428 yuan / piece, the price difference is quite different.

PH value: the pH value of children's clothing is determined by testing the pH value of the water extract of the fabric. If the printing and dyeing aids are not fully washed or neutralized in the process of textile processing, the pH of the fabric is too high, which may destroy the acid-base balance of the human epidermis, and lead to bacteria. The standard value of pH value should be 4 to 8.5.

After testing, the pH values of the 2 samples do not meet the requirements of the national mandatory standards. The Jin Yuan Shanghai shopping center purchased the nominal "Shanghai Enphants" children's wear products Co., Ltd., with the pH value of "Les Enphants" children's jeans (washed products) of 8.8. The price of the dress displayed by Cui Wei Department Store is "lovely show clothing" (pH), which is made of "MOIMOLN" and the pH value is 8.9.

Color fastness: the color fastness project mainly examines the dyeing fastness of dyes on children's clothing.

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.

Directions for use (identification): the information of use instructions (identification) has the function of guiding and guiding consumption, protecting consumers' rights and interests, and enhancing the reputation of enterprises.

There are 3 types of sample instructions that do not meet the relevant standard requirements. They do not meet the following requirements: lack of safety categories, labeling of product standards, lack of information on durability labels, non-standard information, inconsistent information on tag and durability labels, etc.

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".

Other items: this children's clothing comparative test other test items, such as decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, formaldehyde content, color fastness to perspiration (acid and alkali), dry friction color fastness, color fastness to wash (soap), sharp sharp edges and sharp edges, and rope requirements are all up to the relevant standard requirements.

Other safety performance indicators such as total lead, ortho benzene two formic acid and extractable heavy metals were not found.

Beijing Consumers Association reminds consumers that children's physical development is not yet mature, and that their ability to resist diseases and deal with safety problems are limited. Parents need to choose carefully when buying clothes.

We should try to choose a brand that has a good reputation in the formal business premises. We should pay attention to asking for invoices and keeping shopping vouchers when buying. When we have quality problems, we can serve as an important voucher for consumer rights protection.

Pay attention to children's clothing instructions (identification) information.

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.
