The New Textile Standard Will Be Formally Implemented In August 1, 2012.

New edition

It will be formally implemented in August 1, 2012 and will not be produced, sold and imported.

Because the new standard has raised higher requirements for the production of textile and garment enterprises, or will trigger a new round of industry shuffling.

According to the insiders, the implementation of the new national standard of textiles will bring more stringent entry barriers to China's textile consumer market, but will not have a big impact on the cost of clothing. The price of clothing products will not increase.

The expansion of the range of infant and baby products

The standard stipulates that

After examination, the products that meet the A-level standard value can be used for infants and young children. The clothes that are tested conform to the B standard value can be put on the body, and the garments are tested to meet the C level standard value. The products can be worn.

In addition, the new standard has changed the definition of infant textile products from "24 months or below 80 centimeters" to "36 months or below 100 centimeters".

This means that the age range of infant textile products will be expanded. It is necessary to incorporate the infant textile products of 36 months or below 100 centimeters into the category of category a products.

More stringent control of hazardous substances

In addition, unlike old standards,

The new national standard is more stringent on the control of toxic and harmful substances, and it also puts forward higher requirements for the ability of inspection institutions.

"The new national standard has clearly defined the safety and physical properties of formaldehyde, pH and color fastness of the three categories of textiles, and stipulated that there should be no peculiar smell in the products."

The head of a large garment enterprise in Tianjin told reporters, "this undoubtedly increases the entry threshold for enterprises to enter the market. Enterprises will spend more money and material resources on raw material control, and the cost will increase."

However, since the implementation time of the new national standard has been postponed for one year, enterprises have already adjusted the raw material purchase and production strategy ahead of schedule, so the cost pressure is not great.

The relevant director of the Tianjin clothing chamber of Commerce said that the new standard put forward higher requirements for the production of textile and garment enterprises, to a certain extent, will increase the cost of enterprises, but in general, the price of clothing products is very small, and the price of clothing prices is unlikely to increase.
