Fujian Shishi: The New National Standard Of Infant Clothing Is Still Selling.

The new version of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products will be introduced this year.

It is divided into three grades: A, B and C. The pH value, color fastness, and decomposable aromatic amine dyes, especially formaldehyde content, are strictly controlled.

In the new standard, the age definition of "infant" will be expanded from 0~24 months to 0~36 months, and the height of the infant will be expanded from 100cm to below 80cm and below. That is, the textile products of children aged less than 3 years old and below 100cm on the market can no longer appear B or C products.

Recently, reporters visited our children's clothing market, but found that some businesses are still selling over standard goods.

Children under 3 years old still see "B".

Recently, the reporter visited the brand children's clothing store of Lion City Plaza, Dehui square and pedestrian street, and saw that although the children's clothing in the shop did not indicate the age of application, most of the newly listed autumn clothes under 100cm specifications had class a logo.

A shopkeeper of a brand store in a pedestrian street told reporters that the company had prepared well before the release of the new national standard. In the promotional activities, the children's clothing sold in accordance with the previous standards will be sold at a reduced price. The children's clothing manufactured after August 1st is strictly referenced to the new standard. Children's clothing below 100cm will no longer produce B or C.

"It is just different standards of different periods, B children's clothing has little impact on children."

Shopkeepers said that since the new standard has been issued, infants and young children under 3 years of age should not be reproducing B, and they will not sell infant clothing outside class A.

In the interview, the reporters found that there were not many businessmen who knew the new national standard. Most businessmen said that their products had never had any problems, and when they were selling, they focused on the handle and material of children's clothing.

However, reporters found some "missing fish" in the summer clothes that were put on sale at individual stores.

The children's clothing under the age of 3 is still marked with the word "B" with children's clothing under the specifications of 100cm.

This situation is even more serious in some ordinary children's wear shops. Individual children's clothing even lacks trademarks and tag.

Subsequently, the reporter saw in WAL-MART, the children's clothing in the store marked the age or size of the clothes on the clothes rack. But after careful examination, two children's Chiffon skirts marked "2 years old" were found to be B products.

Most consumers do not know the new rules.

"Buying clothes for children mainly depends on the handle and material, and there are more clothes for pure cotton."

During the interview, a mother who was buying clothes for two and a half years old daughter told reporters that when she chose children's clothing, she would look at the "ingredient" column on the label, and feel whether the clothes were soft or easy to fade.

For the new national standard, the mother said it was the first time she heard that the meaning of "category a" and "B class" marked on clothing had never been explored.

Another consumer at the meeting said, because the basic purchase.

It is often only when looking at the price and size that they will look at the tag. "The material on the tag is almost all known as" pure cotton ", and the product of" pure cotton "should be safer.

The names of some ingredients are too "chemical" and they simply do not understand what they mean.

During the interview, the reporter learned that parents of children under 1 years old pay more attention to the material of clothing. After the age of 2, the parents' attention to the material of children's clothing is beginning to drop, and the price and style are paid more attention when buying.

Formaldehyde exceeding standard may cause various diseases

Subsequently, the reporter learned from the data that compared to class B and C, class a standards are more stringent in terms of formaldehyde, pH value and color fastness. Taking formaldehyde as an example, class a standard requires formaldehyde content less than 20 mg / kg, B class standard is relaxed to less than 75 mg / kg, and the C standard is wider than 300 mg / kg.

Considering that infants and young children often unconsciously put clothes and other objects in their mouths, if the resistance to saliva color fastness of the fabric is not up to standard, it will cause children to suffer from direct staining of staining residues, so the requirements of class a standards on saliva color fastness are greatly improved.

The personage tells a reporter, formaldehyde has strong stimulation to skin and eye mucous membrane.

If there is excess formaldehyde, it will gradually release during the wearing process, and it will cause damage to the human body through skin and respiratory tract. The baby's skin is delicate and vulnerable to external stimulation and injury. Therefore, the clothes that exceed the standard of formaldehyde may cause contact dermatitis. After long time wearing, the accumulation of methaldehyde in the body may cause chronic respiratory diseases, conjunctivitis, laryngitis, asthma, bronchitis and other diseases.

Therefore, consumers may pay more attention to various labels on the tag when buying clothes, so as to avoid buying clothes that do not meet the requirements.
