There are buckles, strings, straps, on our clothes, But if these things are used in children's clothing involves safety hazards. Take the rope and straps on children's clothingfor a example, The standard stipulates that children's clothing worn by children under 7 years old, In the head and neck are not allowed to have any cords. Why are there these rules?Because the danger posed by small straps can be quite small.
With the rope, buttons and other small accessories related to the safety project, in recent years the supervision of children's clothing sampling repeatedly detected unqualified products.
The State Administration of Market Supervision recently released the results of children's and infants' clothing sampling, the failure rate reached 14.9%, which failed to meet the requirements of the rope, attachments such as tensile strength and other safety items, accounting for nearly half of the proportion.
Guangdong Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute testing engineer Li Yan: this children's clothing is a more common hoodie on the market, according to the standard requirements, the head and neck of children's clothing under 7 years old should not have any rope. The two straps, which is more obviously does not meet the requirements, in the process of wearing will also have a certain amount of danger, for example, you pull it tight, it will strangle to the child's neck, very dangerous.
Reporters saw that there are children's clothing in the back of the rope stretched out, can be tied into a variety of shapes. Testing engineers told reporters that the back of children's clothing is not supposed to have any cord sticking out, some children's clothing, waist, shoulders have decorative cords, these cords, if they exceed the length specified in national standards, will also bring the danger of being caught, dragging.
The reporter learned that the rope belt may bring the risk point, in fact, in children's clothing visible, touchable, part of the rope belt danger with the naked eye can be judged, but many parents are not aware of these. The same situation also occurs in the consumer's knowledge of various buttons, plush balls, bows and other small accessories. Considering that infants and toddlers may often grab, bite clothes on these small attachments, the national standards require these small attachments to have a certain pull strength, to avoid easily fall off leading to infants and toddlers accidentally swallowed.
Guangdong Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Testing Engineer Zhang Xingya: The tiny attachment on the garment was caught off without reaching the required force value on the machine. Small children can easily use the same force to catch it down, and if swallowed by a small child or accidentally eaten, it may lead to suffocation and even endanger life.
The reporter learned that the attachment tensile strength of this project, mainly for infants and toddlers under 3 years of age clothing, that is, is specifically to examine the quality of infant and toddler clothing items. However, the sampling found that the failure rate of this safety project ranked second, showing that the quality of infant and toddler clothing there are certain safety risks.
The sampling, infants and toddlers under 3 years of age applicable clothing, the failure rate is 7 percentage points higher than children's clothing.
The national supervision and sampling of children's and infants' clothing, labeled as Shijiazhuang with the deer clothing Co. Ltd., Shantou City, Guangdong Baoli Industrial Co., Ltd., Chengdu Shengbei Industrial Co., Ltd. and other enterprises, the production of children's clothing, the attachment tensile strength does not meet the standard requirements.
The reporter learned that the impact of children's and infant and young children's clothing failure, some of which will be directly apparent in the wearing process. For example, color fastness, many children's clothes encounter spills, friction, sunlight, sweat or washing, the color will fall off, in fact, is the color fastness caused by unqualified.
Testing engineers told reporters, taking into account the characteristics of infants and young children under the age of 3, the national standards for children's clothing for this age group is also a special test color fastness project: saliva color fastness.
Guangdong Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Inspection Engineer Yin Fangfang: 0 to 3-year-old children are prone to drooling, saliva on the clothes, clothing saliva fastness is particularly important, the detection process found that some children's clothing saliva fastness failed, children lick or bite these clothes, shedding dye molecules or heavy metal ions may be absorbed by infants and children's bodies, affecting health.
The reporter learned that, due to the special nature of children's and infants' clothing, a total of 19 items are tested. In addition to some items with intuitive effects, other chemical items such as formaldehyde, plasticizers, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, pH, etc., have always been of great concern to parents but have no way to understand the items. The test found that most of the chemical items can meet the standard requirements, but there are 4 batches of children's clothing was detected pH exceeded.
Guangdong Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Testing Engineer Zhong Wenqian: pH too high or too low will lead to damaged skin barrier and cause itching or inflammation.
Reporters learned that the test found among the unqualified items, there is a project to determine the performance characteristics of textile products, which directly affects the comfort experience of infants and children, which is the fiber content of children's clothing. But the test found that labeled 100 percent cotton, which is adulterated with a large number of chemical fibers.
Guangdong Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Inspection Engineer Zhu Fangqin: This sample is marked 100% cotton, but under the microscope we see that not only contains cotton fibers, there are other forms of fiber. After quantitative analysis, we found that it contains only 30% of cotton, there are 70% of other fibers.
The reporter learned that the children and infant clothing tested a total of 382 enterprises produced 395 batches of products, failed 59 batches of products, of which the fiber composition failed, up to 39 batches of products. Ltd., Shanghai Young's Apparel Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Wuhu Apparel Co., Ltd., Fujian Calleben Network Technology Co., Ltd., Qingdao Red Cool Garment Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Abe Ama Baby Products Co.
Reporters learned that, at present, China's children's clothing enterprises more than 10,000, the market size of up to 200 billion yuan or so. Such a large base of children and infant clothing market, the failure rate in recent years is not low. The last three sampling failure rate of 13.2%, 16.4%, 14.9%, respectively. Perennial high in the failure of the first project fiber content, behind the failure, in fact, is to reduce the cost of considerations.
In response to the sampling results of children's and infants' clothing, the State Administration of Market Supervision has ordered the e-commerce platform to shelve the relevant products, the implementation of control obligations, and promote the improvement of product quality.
