Beijing Consumers Association Silk Clothing Comparative Test Results: 40% Failed

Abstract:

Silk clothing is a traditional product of our country. Silk products are soft, medium and rigid, with fine texture, luxuriant, luxuriant, elegant and without draping. They have been well received by consumers. The price of silk clothing products is higher than that of ordinary products. With the continuous development of textile technology, consumers are more and more difficult to judge whether a product is real silk product from the surface. In order to understand the true quality of silk clothing and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the Beijing Consumers Association recently conducted a comparative test on some silk garments on the Beijing market and the Internet platform.

1. Compare the sources of the test samples.

The sample of the comparative test is made by the staff of Beijing Consumers Association as an ordinary consumer from Beijing Cui Wei Department store, Fengtai Wanda (fengke store), Xidan shopping mall, Tianya women's wear building and online shopping platform jumei.com, vip.com, suning.com, Jingdong mall, Tmall, Jomo, Xiaohong book, NetEase strictly selected, No. 1 store, Xiaomi, Taobao, Amazon and so on. It involves 96 brands and 100 samples, and the purchase price ranges from 33.9 yuan to 2370 yuan.

Two. Testing standards and projects

The comparative test is based on GB 18401-2010 national textile commodity basic safety technical specification, GB/T 5296.4-2012 consumer goods instructions, fourth parts of textiles and clothing instructions, GB/T 18132-2016 "silk garments" and the express enterprise standards for the appearance quality, commercial use instructions, fiber composition and content, formaldehyde content, pH value, odor, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to dry friction, color fastness to moisture, colour fastness to washing, color fastness to dry cleaning, fastness to light, color fastness, breaking degree, tear strength, phenolic yellow stain and other items. The test results are only responsible for the purchased samples.

Three, test results

According to the test, 12 samples were used in the 100 test samples. There were some problems in the usage instructions. 28 samples had quality indicators which did not meet the relevant standard requirements. 5 samples of the 30 samples purchased by the entity store had problems, accounting for 16.7% of the samples in the physical store. 35 samples of the 70 samples purchased from the online shopping platform had problems, accounting for 50% of the number of samples purchased online. There are 9 samples that are not contained in mulberry silk, and are not in line with the publicity or product description. The details are as follows:

1. Product instructions

The national standard GB/T 5296.4-2012 stipulates that the contents of the instructions should include: Manufacturer's name and address, product name, product size or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance method, product standard and safety category. According to the test, the use instructions of 20 samples do not meet the standard requirements, accounting for 20%. Among them, 13 samples are not standardized and incomplete. In addition, some samples are executed in accordance with standards and product quality grades are not standardized.

2. Fiber composition and content

Fiber content is an important reference index for consumers to choose silk clothing, and is also the only basis for judging whether the product is silk clothing. On the basis of the fiber content index test, the comparison test also compares the online shopping sample results with the web page express information. After testing, the measured values of the fiber content of the 9 samples in the 100 samples are not consistent with the tag. In the 70 samples of online shopping, there are 6 samples of the measured fiber composition inconsistent with the information claimed by the web page. The details are as follows:

(1) the measurement of the fibre content of the 9 samples is not in conformity with the tag.

After testing, the contents of the 9 samples are not consistent with the indication of the tag. 3 of the web pages and the tag are clearly shown as samples of mulberry silk. 1 web pages indicate that mulberry silk and tag are shown as samples of polyester fiber. They do not contain mulberry silk and are suspected of counterfeiting. 1 samples of silk fabrics are indicated, and the content of mulberry silk is only 47.2%, which is suspected of being shoddy. In addition, after feedback on the results of the production, Montagut Guangzhou Commercial Co., Ltd. replied that I would say that the tested samples of Montagut were quite different from those of the products sold in the products, such as the tag and the main label. Please see the table below for details.

(2) after testing, 6 online shopping samples are claimed to be silk clothing, but the label does not contain silk. Although some products are labeled with their real fiber content in the details page, if consumers do not carefully distinguish, they will be misled and suspected of misleading consumers.

3, tearing strength

Tear strength is an important indicator of the durability of silk clothing. If the strength of silk clothing is too low, it is easy for consumers to break and tear the fabric in the process of use, which will affect the wearing performance of the garment. After testing, the tear strength of the 4 samples is not up to standard.

4. Degree of slippage

In woven garments, the friction between yarn and yarn is relatively small, and the friction between yarn and yarn is small. After the test, the "Changshou City golden age Clothing Co., Ltd." was purchased at Tmall / Paul lovime flagship store. The trademark is "Paul loviman". The production batch number is "Q1DX062501". The price of the silk thread "Tang suit", which sells for 248 yuan, is 0.75, which exceeds the requirements of the GB/T 18132-2016 "silk dress" that the silk fabric is less than 0.6cm.

5. Color fastness

Color fastness refers to the firmness of fabric dyeing. When the color fastness is poor, the dye may transfer from the textile to the skin, not only affects the wearing and beauty, but also causes harm to the human body. The water fastness, sweat fastness, color fastness to dry friction, colour fastness to wet rubbing, color fastness to washing, color fastness to dry cleaning and fastness to light of the samples were tested. The test results showed that there were some problems in the color fastness of the 10 samples:

6. After testing, formaldehyde content, pH value, odor and phenol yellowing index all meet the national standard requirements.

Four. Sample distribution which is not up to standard

The samples of the comparison test were purchased from shopping malls and online shopping platforms. After testing, 35 of the 40 substandard samples came from online shopping platforms. Little red books, many spells, and samples purchased by Taobao all fail to meet the standard requirements.

Five, remind consumers

(1) when buying silk clothing, do not covet cheap and buy silk garments that are far below the price of similar products. It is recommended that consumers choose products sold in large stores or exclusive stores. When purchasing online products, they should choose products produced by well-known enterprises and carefully distinguish product information from the web pages. Good brand manufacturer's products have better guarantee in product quality, and guarantee in product's service and so on.

(2) consumers should pay attention to the use instructions of products when they buy silk clothing, that is, the product tag, because the product tag is a tool to convey information about the performance, quality and usage of products to consumers. The product description should include the manufacturer's name and address, product name, specification and type, fiber composition and content, maintenance method, execution standard, quality grade and matters needing attention. Products with rough packaging, incomplete product identification, non-standard and inaccurate clothing should be discreetly purchased.

(3) consumers can distinguish authenticity from the following two methods when buying silk garments.

Sensory identification: the samples are evenly distributed on the appearance, and the silk has light absorbing properties. It looks smooth and can not mirror, glossy and elegant, soft and bright, soft and elegant, and silk is denser. Hand scratching will have wrinkles. The higher the purity and the greater the density of silk, the better the silk feel. Although the silk fabric is treated by dehardening, it feels softer, but the silk is dark and has no pearl luster. The chemical fiber fabric has bright, dazzling and strong feel. In addition, silk products should be slightly scratching. Rubbing the two layers of fabric will produce a "silken" sound, while the fabric of other raw materials is not.

Burning method: in the place where the seams or edges do not affect the appearance of the garment, some yarn is extracted, and the flame can not be seen in the silk, the smell of burning hair, the black and fine particles of silk, and the ability to crush with hands. The simulated silk is lit by fire and has plastic smell, and the hard edges will be left after the fire is extinguished.

(4) correctly wearing and maintaining good silk clothing is a key to durable wear and tear. Choose silk fabrics, especially spring and summer 100% silk chiffon fabrics and clothing, suggest consumers to buy loose dressing effect, do not matter closely, because silk is not force, easy to pull silk, and avoid wearing light in high grade silk clothing. Silk fabric is more delicate. When washing, use warm water or cold water. Proper detergent should be selected. First, mix the detergent in water and put it into clothes. The clothes with different colors must be soaked separately and washed separately so as not to stick to the color.

(5) it is suggested that shopping documents should be paid attention to when buying silk garments, so as to effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests after quality problems arise.

Beijing Consumer Association silk clothing comparative test is in line with national standard sample summary.
