The quality of domestic infant clothing is still uneven

The new version of the "National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products" has been implemented for two years. The quality of infant and young children's clothing is still uneven, and the labels are also varied, and many "old national standard" infant and children's clothing are still being sold.

The old national standard children's wear market was still on sale on the morning of the 10th. In a children's wear shop on Women's Street, it took a long time to find that most of the labels for baby clothing sold did not have a category of “safety technology”, and some were slightly expensive. Even if there is an annotation security technology category, it is gb18401-2003b.

Afterwards, they visited several high-end maternity and childcare stores and found that infants and children's clothing of category b safety technology were still on sale, and only some of the higher-priced clothes were marked with the words “gb18401-2010a category infants and young children supplies”. According to the regulations promulgated in 2012, milk products for infants and young children under the category b safety technology do not meet national requirements, but sales staff have stated that the quality of their own clothing is certainly not a problem. As for the national standards, many sales staff said that they are not very clear.

In a high-end children's clothing store on Xinghua Road, on the original label of the children's clothing sold on the special counter, the security technology category column is directly affixed with a price tag, the tearing price is checked, and the above message “gb18401-2003b” is displayed. . The clerk said that as long as the main cloth is 100% cotton, there is no problem with b.

Buy clothes more emphasis on comfort and fabrics There are children's clothing store staff revealed that the purchase of infant clothing customers, concerned about the safety level of clothing is very few people, more parents only care about whether the material is pure cotton and feel. On the afternoon of the 7th, a couple who picked clothes for a 2-year-old daughter at a children's clothing store said that they mainly rely on experience to buy clothes for children.

In the interview, it was found that most children's clothing sales personnel and parents are not aware of the implementation of the new national standard, and it is even less clear about the specific meaning of various labels on the label. Most parents pay attention only to the “main components” and “prices” on the labels when purchasing children's clothes, and do not care about other information. “Customers usually care about whether it is pure cotton. Now that children's clothes are more expensive, children grow faster, so parents are more interested in discounted goods.” A salesman said.

The purchase of clothing depends on the safety technology category. On August 1, 2012, the revised version of the "National Safety Technical Code for Textile Products" was fully enforced. Different from the old standard published in 2003, the scope of “infant and toddler clothing” has been expanded in the new national standard. The age range extends from 2 years old to 3 years old, and the height increases from the original 80 cm to 100 cm. According to the new regulations, product implementation standards should be marked on the product tag, and the safety technology category of the product should be marked according to the requirements of gb18401 standard. In other words, infants and young children's clothing must be marked with the words "baby and infant supplies, a category, gb18401-2010." For textile products that do not meet the new standards, production, sales, and imports must be banned.
