Introduction to new standards for domestic infant and child textiles – recommendations from flame retardant fabric manufacturers
The quality of infant products has always been the focus of people’s attention, and this time it has received great attention again due to the “milk powder incident”. As one of the daily necessities for infants and young children, the quality of textiles has also attracted the attention and attention of relevant textile manufacturers and consumers.
Here is a brief introduction to my country’s standards related to infant textiles:
1. GB 18401-2003 “National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products”
This standard is a national mandatory standard that stipulates the basic safety technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, etc. for textile products.
Infant products (textiles used by infants and young children under 24 months old, generally suitable for products used by infants and young children with a height of 80cm and below
The product can be used as an infant product) should meet the technical requirements of Class A products in the standard. Infant products must have instructions for use that read “Infant and Toddler
Children’s products”. The test items include: color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to dry rubbing, color fastness to saliva, nail polish
Aldehyde content, pH value, odor, decomposable aromatic amine dyes. Compared with the testing items of other types of products, this type of product has increased saliva resistance
Test of liquid color fastness.
2. FZ/T 73025-2006 “Knitted Clothing for Infants and Young Children”
This standard stipulates the terms and definitions, size specifications, requirements, test methods, judgment rules, and products of knitted apparel products for infants and young children
Instructions for use, packaging, shipping and storage.
It is suitable for testing infant knitted clothing products made of knitted fabrics, including underwear (covers), outerwear, pajamas, jumpsuits, and socks
Bags, footmuffs, hats, bibs, bellybands, gloves, sleeping bags, wraps, bedding, etc.
Among them, the age limit and GB
The limits in 18401-2003 “National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products” are different, with 36 limits
Knitted products for infants under 104cm or less.
The inherent quality requirements in the standard are divided into two grades: superior products and first-class products. GB
The technical requirements of Class A products in 18401-2003 only meet this requirement
The quality requirements of some items of standard first-class products, so the quality of textiles needs to be further improved to reach the level of first-class products.
3. FZ/T 81014-2008 “Infant and Child Clothing”
This standard has certain particularities. The standard itself is a recommended standard, but 4.1 in the standard (the instructions for use of finished products should comply with GB
In accordance with the provisions of 5296.4 and GB 18401, indicate on the product label that no dry cleaning is allowed), 4.11 (formaldehyde content, pH value, odor, decomposability
Aromatic amine dyes, extractable heavy metal content and color fastness to dry rubbing, water, perspiration and saliva
Requirements for qualified products) are mandatory provisions. Compared with the testing items of GB 18401, this standard increases the content of extractable heavy metals to mandatory testing
Trial project.
The standard stipulates the terms and definitions, size specifications, requirements, inspection (test) methods, inspection classification rules, etc. for infant clothing products.
And technical features such as marking, packaging, transportation and storage.
It is suitable for infant clothing and sets produced with textile woven fabrics as the main raw material. Infant clothing products can be implemented with reference to this standard. This
As a supplement to woven products in infant textiles, the standard is used in conjunction with FZ/T 73025-2006 “Knitted Clothing for Infants and Infants”, basically
Covering all infant and child textiles for daily use.
In addition, infant textiles should also comply with GB
5296.4-1998 “Instructions for use of consumer products, instructions for use of textiles and clothing” Instructions for use
The basic principles, labeling content and labeling requirements, as well as the fiber content in FZ/T 01053-2007 “Labeling of Fiber Content of Textiles”
‘s labeling requirements, labeling principles, expression methods, allowable deviations, and determination of label compliance, etc.
In recent years, textile monitoring has been strengthened year by year, but the relevant data disclosed are still not optimistic. We sincerely hope that supervision will be strengthened so that enterprises
While focusing on profit growth, we also pay attention to the growth of infants and young children. Caring about the next generation means caring about our future.
