The implementation of a new national standard for textiles and clothing will be implemented for one year

Recently, it was learned from the industry that the "National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products" (GB18401-2010), which was originally scheduled to be implemented on August 1, 2011, will be postponed until August 1, 2012. By then, this version will replace the current implementation of GB 18401-2003 (referred to as the 03 version of the standard), becoming a new national mandatory standard, does not meet the GB18401-2010 textile products, production, sales and imports will be banned.

The new standard covers a wider area It is understood that "the national basic safety technical specifications for textile products" is China's accession to the WTO, developed the first textile product safety specification. Compared with the 2003 version of the standard, the new version has the following major changes: the scope of application. In addition to retaining the original textile products for taking and decorating, new “home textile products” have been added; textile products not falling within the scope of this standard have been catalogued from 10 Classes were added to 13 categories, and new "disposable hygiene products", "bags, bags, shoes, umbrellas, umbrellas" and "carpets" were added.

At the same time, the definition of textile products for infants and children was changed from the 2003 version of “Textile products worn or used by infants and young children aged 24 months or less” to “Textile products worn or used by infants and young children aged 36 months or less. The applicable height is changed from "80 cm" to "100 cm", and must be indicated on the product identification plate as "infant and baby textile products". The new standard defines the textile products for infants and toddlers more widely, and is closer to the actual situation of infants and children.

More emphasis on dressing safety In addition, compared with the 2003 version of the standard, the new standard is more stringent on the control of toxic and hazardous substances, but also put forward higher requirements for the inspection agency's capabilities. The carcinogenic aromatic amines in the new standard have increased “4-aminoazobenzene” to 24 species, and the aromatic amines must have a limit value of less than 20 mg/kg. At the same time, the sampling requirements for the color fastness, formaldehyde, pH value, and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes were increased. It was stipulated that the list of aromatic amines was not allowed to decompose under the reducing conditions. In addition, the new standard has added color fastness to saliva and standards for protecting infant skin in the evaluation index for infants and young children.

In this regard, the industry said that the implementation of new standards for textile products will, to a certain extent, encourage textile and garment companies to strengthen the management of raw material suppliers, in order to strengthen the control of clothing quality and safety from the source. Taking the PH value as an example, in recent years, the excess of the PH has repeatedly become the “culprit” leading to unqualified clothing. “Actually, there are already environmentally friendly textile auxiliaries available for use by garment companies, but some small companies still use contaminated auxiliaries. After the new standard is implemented, products that fail to meet safety standards will be rigorously Prohibition will force more and more textile and garment manufacturers to choose qualified suppliers to improve product quality and safety.”

Delaying the buffer period for enterprises It is understood that the "National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products" (GB18401-2010) is a mandatory standard. After the official implementation, the requirements in other related standards do not conform to the requirements of the standard, and mandatory technology must be adopted by the state. The standard prevails. This means that after the implementation of the new standard, all products not produced in accordance with the new standards will be forbidden to be sold on the market, and textile and garment enterprises that fail to prepare in advance will undoubtedly face a blow.

“The implementation of the new standard is delayed for one year. Part of the reason may be that taking into account the production cycle of many textile and garment companies will be carried out about one year in advance. If the new regulations that were formally announced in January this year were implemented immediately in August, many companies will It may be too late to adjust the production of the product and delay the implementation for one year. This will give the company a buffer period. It is understood that when the 2003 version of the standard was implemented on January 1, 2005, it also took a transition period of one year. Products that meet the relevant standards before January 1, 2005 are still allowed to continue to be sold in the market. 2006 Sales are prohibited from January 1st.
