What is the situation of the children's wear industry in the transition period of children's wear safety standards?

At present, the total number of newborns in China is about 16 million per year. Coupled with the liberalization of the two-child policy, the consumption of baby and children's wear has continued to grow. Coupled with the growing number of 90 mothers become mainstream consumer groups, infant and children's clothing buyer price sensitivity is reduced, willing to high-quality, high safety of baby products pay higher prices. However, expert research found that parents are often weak in the safety awareness of this category of infants and children's wear, 46% of respondents said they do not know the safety technical requirements for baby wear, and the proportion of respondents who ignore the safety risk of the back strap is as high as 88%. China's first mandatory national standard for infants and children's textile products (children's wear), "Safety Technical Specifications for Infants and Children's Textile Products" will be enforced in June 2018, and now the transition period of two years has been more than half, the market Are the children's clothes on the books qualified? How should parents choose safe clothing for their children? The journalist made an interview about this.

Regulation

The transition period for children's wear safety standards has been more than half

In 2015, China's first mandatory national standard GB 31701-2015 "Safety Technical Specifications for Infants and Children's Textile Products" was issued for the safety release of infants and children's textile products. The standard was officially implemented on June 1, 2016. The safety performance of textile products for children and children (children's wear) has been comprehensively regulated, and more stringent requirements have been put forward for chemical safety and textile machinery safety performance. According to the requirements of the Code, children's textile products are divided into two categories. They are suitable for infants and young children who are worn or used by children aged 36 months and below. They are suitable for children over 3 years old and 14 years old and below. Or use a children's textile product. The standard stipulates that infant textile products should meet Class A requirements. Children's textile products that are in direct contact with the skin should meet at least Class B requirements. Children's textile products that are not in direct contact with the skin should meet at least Class C requirements. In addition, children's textile products should be marked with the standard number and the corresponding safety technology category on the instructions for use. Infant and children's textile products should also be marked with “infant and child supplies”. Taking into account the digestive inventory of the merchants, the standard stipulates that the infant and children's textile products produced by the merchant before June 1, 2016 have a two-year transition period, but the infant and children textile products produced after June 1, 2016. Both standards must be strictly enforced. If the existing products meet the requirements of GB 31701, the safety technology category on the tag can be marked according to the requirements of GB 31701, so as to avoid the product being re-adjusted after the transition period; if it does not meet the requirements, it must meet the requirements of the current relevant standards and be marked according to the original requirements. The product stopped selling after the transition period. Today, there are only half of the two-year transition period, and the product logo on the children's wear market is still confusing.

The children's clothing label in the store is a bit messy

In a children's clothing store called Ou Kaidi, a pink dress suitable for 23 months baby, the product implementation standard is FZ/T81014-2008, although the security category marked GB 31701, but did not write a match The safety technology category is either A or C. It is simply labeled as “Infant and Child Products” and the label is ambiguous. In the same store, the implementation standard of a hyacinth blue dress is FZ/T73026—2014, the safety category is clearly marked as GB 31701—2015 Class B; the other is applicable to the implementation standard of the printing set for infants and young children of 18 months. Also replaced by FZ/T73025—2013, the safety category is simply labeled as “Infant and Child Products”. The three dresses that the reporter randomly viewed marked three implementation standards. It is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish which standard is better. It is easy to see the level of security technology. The business is sometimes marked, sometimes ignored, which makes the mothers When children buy clothes, they are at a loss.

Later, the reporter randomly checked five clothes in a La Chapelle store selling children's clothes. The safety technology categories marked on these clothes were “GB 31701 Class B”, and there was no “Class A” marked as a higher requirement. During the period, a mother came to buy clothes for her children. She told reporters that her choice method was to touch the hand and look at the style, preferring the cotton fabric, but the label should be “not very clear”.

Infant clothing and children's clothing sold on the Internet are standard absences. There is no quality and safety standard mark on the sales page of an infant's apron. The product safety category is even more difficult to talk about. The large-scale pictures of the merchants show the cuteness of the products. When it comes to quality, it only says "from natural". In a shop called "Bebeyi", a baby's home clothes for infants and toddlers has accumulated more than 40,000 pieces of sales, but in the product information, it is only marked with the words "safety level: Class A". There is a more detailed logo. Judging from the comments of a buyer, this dress is not as good as the business promotion, the metal buckle on the clothes, and not the boneless sewing, affecting the comfort of wearing. Other buyers just care about losing color, whether it is pure cotton, and others don't understand.

Baby clothing consumption safety awareness is generally lower

On the one hand, the identity of the enterprise is not in place, on the other hand, the overall level of consumer safety awareness of baby clothing needs to be improved.

In May of this year, the China Garment Association, in conjunction with Jingdong Children's Wear and Leyou Pregnancy, published a "White Paper on the Safety of Chinese Children's Wear Consumers" to remind consumers and baby apparel manufacturers and sales organizations to pay attention to safety issues. According to the white paper, the three factors that consumers pay most attention to when purchasing baby clothes are materials, styles and feels, and 93.4% of consumers prefer pure cotton.

Through a more detailed analysis, Yang Jinchun, vice president of the China National Garment Association, found that although most of the respondents had awareness of consumer safety in infants and children's clothing, such as cotton, natural fibers, etc., the chemical fiber material was rejected. However, from the results of the questionnaire analysis, the consumer's perception of the safety of baby clothing consumption is still at a low level, and the awareness of consumer safety knowledge such as safety standard technical content is low. For example, 40.75% of consumers do not know that there are safety hazards in infants and children's clothing, with little or no safety concerns; 37% of consumers do not care about the safety technology category of baby clothes, 23% of parents do not know the GB31701 standard, only 27.89% of the respondents knew that the baby clothing products should be clearly marked with the words “infant and child supplies”. More than 30% of consumers would choose dark and bright colors instead of light and soft products when purchasing baby clothes. In the understanding of the important safety hazard of the rope, the lack of safety knowledge revealed by consumers is more worrying. The respondents who correctly know the safety risks of the head and neck and back straps are only 7.8%, ignoring the back rope. Respondents with security risks accounted for up to 88%.

In this regard, Yang Jinchun said that consumers should pay attention to the use of hoisting labels and labels for baby clothes, learn and understand their meanings, and attach great importance to the physical and mechanical safety risks of baby clothing, and try to avoid buying ropes or ropes. With longer clothing, buttons, beads and other accessories should be pulled to ensure a firm, metal and plastic accessories should be hand-touched to ensure that there are no sharp tips and edges. Apparel product manufacturers should also provide complete and accurate instructions for use to guide the safe consumption of baby clothing.

Guo Wensong, deputy general manager of the China Textile Standard Testing Division, also said that GB31701 will be officially implemented on June 1, 2018. At that time, both online and offline baby clothes must meet this standard. In addition to paying attention to chemical safety requirements, children's clothing may also cause a variety of mechanical hazards during wear, such as zipper-induced gripping events, sharp object injuries, strains, hooks and shackles, etc., the new standard for baby clothes Accessories requirements include tensile strength, absence of sharp tips and sharp edges, etc. There are also related safety requirements for the strap on the garment, such as the length of the strap cannot exceed the bottom edge of the garment, etc., to prevent the child from causing play during play. s damage.
