How Should Children'S Clothing Be Chosen In The New Standard Era?

The chill deepens.

The autumn and winter clothes of businessmen also put on shelves earlier.

As the most dynamic consumer group in the clothing market, children are active in major children's clothing Supermarkets and shopping malls.

As we all know, because children's skin is delicate, weak resistance and easy to allergy, compared with adult clothing, children's clothing has strong specificity, its production performance standards are far higher than adult clothing.

As a result, in order to protect children, a new version of the country was enforced in August 1st.

The basic safety technical specification for products (GB18401-2010) has greatly revised the standard of infant clothing.

According to the new national standard, infants and young children under the age of 3 must have labels, and labels must be marked with "baby products, category A, GB18401-2010".

Regretfully, recently, reporters visited Beijing and found that the old GB and the infant clothing were still popular, and many parents and salesmen knew nothing about the new GB.

Unqualified "qualified products"

In October 29th, the reporter came to a store in Beijing Daxing District's Wumart mall, where the colorful new autumn and winter clothes were densely packed in its infant clothing area.

The reporter picked up the 2 year old boy's cotton clothes and found that the standard tag on the tag label showed "GB18401 - 2003". When the reporter asked why the salesman sold the children's clothing standard was not 2010 new national standard, the salesman's answer made the reporter laugh and cry.

"I am only responsible for sales, I do not understand the specific standards, but we are large shopping malls, sales.

The quality is certainly no problem. Maybe the 2003 standard is more general. "

Reporters at the store also found that 0-3 year old infant clothing, category a label is still less than half, B class labels are mostly, there are some do not label categories, only labeled "first-class goods", "qualified" such words.

In the new national standard, children's clothing is divided into three grades: A, B and C. Among them, class a clothes can be used for infants and girls, B clothes can be worn by body, and C clothing is only for wear.

According to the new standard, the age definition of "infant" will extend from 0 to 24 months to 0 to 36 months, and the height of the infant will be increased from 100 cm below the original 80 cm to below 100 cm.

That is to say, children's textile products under the age of 3 and below 100 cm, B or C products will not be sold on the market. These products are substandard products.

On the same day, reporters also visited Xidan Zhongyou department store, Joy City Mall and Muxiyuan children's wear wholesale market.

After understanding, we found that in the shopping mall of Zhongyou department store and Joy City, the new brand of children's clothing in autumn and winter mostly carried out production according to the 2010 new national standard. Most of the labels were labeled "a", while some of the old "B" and "C" children's clothes in the new clothes were on sale, and they were placed in the prominent position of the monopoly area.

In the wholesale market of children's clothing in Muxiyuan, the situation is more complicated. Not only are there many brands, but the display of the implementation standard is also a mess. 2003, 2006 old GB, and unstandard, unlabeled infant and young children's clothing are all "blatant".

One of the female bosses who came to wholesale goods told reporters that they did not pay attention to the production standard. "Children's clothes can tell the advantages and disadvantages by hand and smell, and labels can be pasted up without any reference."

Similarly, there are parents who are ignorant of the new national standard. In a "happy baby" children's clothing store, a grandmother is buying cotton clothes for her 1 year old grandson. When asked whether she knew the new standard of infant clothing, she said she had never heard of it. The notes on the label could only see the content of the ingredients clearly, and the others could not understand it at all.

It is obvious that the high standard and strict requirements of the new national standard for children's clothing are embarrassed in the actual implementation process.

New safeguards difficult to guarantee

"More stringent requirements for children's new standards are sure to be a good thing, which can provide more security for children's clothing safety.

However, due to the fact that the relevant departments do not publicize the new standards, some production and sales enterprises are not clear about the new standards, or even do not know that the new standards have been promulgated by the state, which results in the effective implementation of the standard in practice.

The same reason, specific to the consumer, because the new standard is unaware, did not refuse to buy old standards or children's clothing that does not conform to the standard, so this kind of children's clothing continues to retain the market survival space.

The relevant leaders of the China Consumer Association feel pity for this situation. But he thinks that the new standard has just been implemented for 3 months, and the products in the market are in the replacement stage of the old and new standards. This situation is also hard to avoid. "If consumers encounter such a situation, they can ask the merchants to return the goods without compensation. If there is any dispute, they can call the consumers' Association 12315 hotline to make a complaint."

However, as the responsible department of children's clothing, the relevant staff of the industry and commerce department indicated that the problem is not well regulated.

"We also know that there are still some non standard children's clothes on sale in the market, which harms the interests of consumers and may cause skin safety problems to children.

However, because this standard has just been implemented for 3 months, the specific irregularities for illegal businesses have not been implemented in our relevant departments.

We also need to carry out things according to the regulations. Now this problem is not well handled. It can only remind consumers to be vigilant and not to buy children's clothes that are not up to standard.

Beijing City Industrial and commercial bureau of a dangerous staff said.

Responsibility regression

"We do not dare to believe in children's products now. As for clothing, dyeing is not done. We have met with the problem that formaldehyde index does not meet the requirements, shrinkage and so on.

In desperation, most of our children's products are bought from abroad, and they must be cautious when buying domestic products.

Now the purchase of children's products can only improve their ability to identify, otherwise the cost of safeguarding rights is too high.

Media man Sun Xibao said.

In Beijing,

Cheng Lina, manager of marketing department, does not want to let consumers refuse to buy children's clothes that are not up to standard to promote the implementation of the new national standard.

"The new national standard is the basic safety technical specification for children's clothing and related textile enterprises. For consumers, it is the right to know which standard to implement, and for the producers of enterprises, it is the obligation to perform.

If an enterprise is unaware of its own industry standards and can not execute it, can it still expect them to produce qualified products?

After 10 years of rapid development, China's children's clothing industry is indeed in full swing, but children's clothing enterprises are also facing fierce competition. If enterprises want to continue to develop, they must adhere to self-discipline and self-improvement.

"Everyone will have their own children, all need safety care. In addition to legal standards, enterprises also need basic professional ethics, especially for infants and young children's clothing enterprises."

Cheng Lina said he has been concerned about the new.

And she is also a prospective mother who has been pregnant for three months.
