When you choose clothes, are you sure you need to recognize a safety symbol "GB18401-2003" when you buy clothes?

5 healthy and safe colors for clothing, such as color fastness, formaldehyde content, azo dyes, smell and pH value.

Detailed provisions were made.

The newly produced garments that conform to the specification must be marked with "GB18401-2003".

However, the vast majority of consumers do not understand this.


Why are clothes without safety signs harmful to humans? The law enforcement officials of the trade and Industry Bureau said that the clothing manufacturers are processing.

During the process, various dyes and auxiliaries are needed. When the content of these chemicals reaches a certain value, it may cause harm to human skin and health.

For example, men's ironing shirts are prone to cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard due to the use of additives. The pH value of cowboy clothes is not up to standard; aromatic amine azo dyes that may cause cancer are mostly found in bright women's clothing and children's wear.

Therefore, there are several hidden dangers in the wearing or using process of unsafe clothing. First, the free formaldehyde in fabrics can cause headache, weakness, temperature changes, sensory disturbance, irregular sweating, pulse acceleration, dermatitis, skin allergy and so on. Two, some aromatic amine intermediates remaining in the printing and dyeing process of azo dyes have carcinogenic effects on human body; three, there may be residual heavy metals such as mercury, nickel, chromium and lead in textiles, and heavy metal content will not only weaken human immune function, induce cancer, but also harm the central nervous system of human beings.


How can we buy safe clothes? Experts give consumers three tips.

First of all, we should pay attention to safety signs.

Specification divides textile products into three categories: A, B and C.

Class A is for infants and young children. B is a product that directly contacts the skin. Class C is a product that does not directly touch the skin.

Textile product labels should be directly marked with product safety categories, such as "infant products" or products labeled "safety class: class GB18401-2003B", which belong to qualified products.

The product tag only includes "category a" and "B class", which are not standardized, but the products without safety signs are unqualified products. Second, to "smell", the qualified products should not have peculiar smell; third, to do some simple small tests to judge whether clothes or textiles are qualified, for example, use a small piece of white cloth or white paper to press the fingers on the surface of the garment to rub back and forth several times to see if there is any obvious stain.
