Every parent hopes to dress up his own baby, so he will always buy some new clothes from time to time. But do you know? According to the 2015 Shanghai Quality Supervision Bureau's monitoring of the quality and safety risks of children's wear, approximately 25% of children's wear products have safety risks. Therefore, to understand the safety of infants and young children is imminent.

Non-negligible security risks

According to the "Quality and Safety Knowledge Reader" published by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), children and infants and young children's clothing (hereinafter referred to as children's clothing) are garments designed, produced and sold to meet the needs of children or infants. According to the appropriate age of wear, it is suitable for infants and toddlers who wear for 36 months or less.

In general, children's wear on the market has not satisfactorily met the quality requirements of parents. There is still room for improvement. According to recent supervision results, the current children's clothing mainly contains fiber components, internal quality (color fastness, pH, formaldehyde, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic dyes and physical properties), instructions for use and mechanical safety issues. Among them, the safety of children's clothing is particularly important to parents, because some accessories on children's clothing may cause children to fall, slip, smash, suffocate casualties, strangled and other injuries.

Three aspects start with good quality

Parents should consider comprehensively when buying clothes for their babies. They should not only consider the beauty of styles and ignore quality and safety and health issues, but also take into account the unification of quality and beauty. Especially for children under the age of 7 and infants and young children to buy clothes, they should take into account their physical characteristics, the overall clothing should be relaxed and moderate, the appearance of no obvious defects and thread. Specifically, it can be considered from three aspects.

1. Fabrics:

As the skin of infants and young children is very thin, delicate, and has poor protection functions, more fabrics based on natural fibers should be purchased. For example, children made of cotton fabrics have better moisture absorption, breathability, and less irritation to the skin.

2. Color:

Mainly in light colors, try not to choose clothing that contains prints or coatings. Because the color fastness, heavy metal, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and other indicators of medium-dark and dark clothes may not meet the standard requirements, light-colored clothes use less dyeing auxiliaries and can significantly reduce the The possibility of the agent being absorbed by the body through the skin.

3. Styles:

In terms of style, do not give infants and young children any clothing that has straps and hoods on their heads and necks; nor can they choose to wear too tight or too tight an elastic straps on the cuffs or trousers, as this will hinder the hand or foot Blood circulation; For clothing worn by infants, wear a label on the outside.

In addition, pay attention to the details of the accessories, because the buttons, collars, zippers, ribbons and other accessories will also have security risks. Among them, buttons and collars are the main causes of accidents and consumer complaints in children's clothing. For example, buttons that resemble foods in appearance and color, like strawberry clasps and chocolate clasps, the baby intentionally or unintentionally puts it into his mouth and swallows. As a result, the risk of suffocation may occur, and the zipper may cause a clamping accident. The zippered male trousers can easily cause the child's genitals to be caught by the zipper teeth. Therefore, it is preferable to use a nylon zipper or a zipper-free trousers; ribbons, bows, etc. Improper handling may result in falling off or causing ingestion. Therefore, when purchasing and wearing, pay attention to whether the ends of the ribbon and ribbon are fixed and not released.

Know the safety standards of children's wear

At present, domestic sales of clothing should meet two standards: First, the national mandatory standards, and second, the product standards clearly stated on the label.

Among them, there are three national compulsory standards that children's clothing needs to meet: GB 31701-2015 "Technical Code for Safety of Textile Products for Infants and Children", GB 18401-2010 "National Safety Technical Code for Textile Products", GB 5296.4-2012 "Consumer Product Use Description of Part 4: Textiles and Garments. If the children's clothing contains fillers, it must meet the GB 18383-2007 "General Technical Requirements for Fibre-based Products".

In addition, the commonly used product standards are: FZ/T 73025-2013 "Kids and Babies", FZ/T 81014-2008 "Infants and Toddlers", FZ/T 73045-2013 "Knitting Children's Clothing", FZ/T 81003 -2003 "Children's clothing, student wear." There are special product standards for children's clothing such as cotton garments, down garments, denim garments, and cashmere sweaters.

TIPS: Upcoming "Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products for Infants, Children and Children"

GB 31701-2015 "Technical Specification for Safety of Textile Products for Infants, Children and Children" is China's first mandatory national standard specifically for infants and children's textile products. It will be formally implemented on June 1, 2016. The implementation of the transitional period of two years, the production of products before June 1, 2016 and meeting the requirements of the relevant standards allows continued sales in the market until May 31, 2018.

Finding security information on the label

When purchasing children's clothes, parents and mothers need to pay special attention to the product name, fiber composition and content, and safety category on the label. Children's clothing product name should indicate the true nature of the product and should not be misunderstood or confused. For example, if the product name is down jacket, then the down content on the label should be at least 50% or more; the product name is woolen sweater, and the wool content on the label should be at least 30%. And above.

The fiber content contained in children's clothing should be used according to national regulations in a standardized term, and cannot be replaced by a common name or trade name. These are all inconsistent with national standards: human cotton, gold and silver wire, anti-pilling fibers, antibacterial fibers, heating fibers, silk, silk, silk, sorghum, viscose, wool, bamboo pulp fibers, Tencel or Tianzhu (normative name is Lysell), Lycra (canonical name is spandex or polyurethane elastic fiber).

The basic safety technical requirements refer to the basic requirements put forward to ensure that textile products are harmless to human health. According to the degree of indicator requirements, they are classified into "A", "B" and "C". Among them, baby products must meet Class A requirements; products that directly touch the skin should meet at least Class B requirements; products that do not have direct contact with the skin should meet at least Category C requirements. On the label, infant clothing must have the words "baby and infant supplies" on the label. Children's clothing that directly touches the skin must have "B" or "A" on the label; children's clothing that is not in direct contact with the skin must have "C" or "B" or "A" on the label. After the implementation of GB 31701-2015 on June 1st, 2016, the label of children's clothing produced and sold in the country will be changed in accordance with the previous one. That is, in addition to the contents indicated above, the label must also include the number of the mandatory standard. .

In addition, for infants and children's clothing, the label must also be marked "not dry-cleanable."

TIPS: What's on the clothing logo?

According to the mandatory standards, the logo on children's clothing should include the manufacturer's name and address, product name, product type or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance methods, product standards implemented, safety category, use and storage precautions, etc. Eight items, including product type or specification, fiber composition and content, and maintenance methods, except for products that affect the use of the product, do not use durable labels (such as socks, gloves, etc.), and other products must be placed. On durable labels (that is, permanently attached to the product and can maintain a legible label during use of the product).
