Countries Began To Strengthen Supervision Over Children's Pajamas

Recently, the American clothing and Footwear Association (AAFA) issued a statement saying that there are a large number of children with quality problems. pajamas In the US, it is strongly required that the US Consumer Product Safety Commission strictly enforce the standard requirements for flammability of children's pajamas in the current federal Flammable Fabrics Act.

According to the current regulations of the United States, China Spin Clothing export enterprises should focus on two aspects of product quality requirements: first, flammability testing requirements, the export of children's pajamas exported to the United States has higher requirements for burning standards than ordinary textiles, and must meet the requirements of 16CFR1615 and 1616. Testing requirements include selection and testing of fabrics, sutures and ribbons. Test fabrics should be washed for 50 times to ensure flammability of clothes after repeated use, and all flammability requirements for clothing and polyethylene plastic film are required. The two is the specific size and rules: Children's pajamas should be moderately tight, and the size of the chest, waist, hips, upper arms, thigh, wrist and ankle should not exceed the maximum size stipulated by the regulations. There should not be any fabric accessories or trimmed ribbons, such as lace, applique and ribbons with a length of more than 6.25 inches (15.875 centimeters). The product must be accompanied by a durable dimension label.

Children's pajamas are becoming laws and regulations because of the particularity of their users. supervise The focus, especially the flame-retardant standard, has become a thorny problem for enterprises to export children's pajamas. In addition to the US, Australia has recently revised the new voluntary standard for children's pajamas and formulated the mandatory regulatory standards for reducing the risk of fire in children's pajamas and some daily clothes, as well as specific safety and labelling requirements. In addition, Britain, New Zealand, Korea and other countries have also promulgated relevant laws and regulations.

Some domestic enterprises have been repeatedly notified abroad due to the lack of strict procurement control, defective product design, lack of flame retardant detection and control measures and so on. According to the statistics of China's WTO-TBT advisory and consulting center, in 2013, 33 children's pajamas products in 2013 were recalled overseas because they did not meet the relevant standards.

　　 Ningbo Now has more than 500 children's clothing export enterprises. Statistics show that in 1~10 months this year, the value of exported clothing and children's clothing in Ningbo has exceeded US $160 million, of which children's pajamas occupy a large proportion.

To achieve meticulous and strict quality standards for children's pajamas, the entry-exit inspection and quarantine department reminds enterprises that they should focus on the labels, design, construction and performance requirements of children's pajamas in various countries, and overcome technical difficulties in testing. At the same time, enterprises must strictly control the product development process, do a good job in the risk assessment review of the first sample design and safety projects, and select qualified suppliers to control the procurement of raw and auxiliary materials, so as to remove obstacles for smooth export.
