The new national standard for textiles will be implemented for one year

The company's digestion of inventory is a matter of urgency. August 1 was originally the time when the new version of the “National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products” (GB18401-2010) (hereinafter referred to as the new specification) was formally implemented, but the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued a The 2010 version of the standard imposes stricter requirements on textile products. Considering that there is no warranty period for textile and clothing products, the inventory of many companies will not be able to be sold on the market after the implementation of the new regulations. For this reason, it is decided that the official implementation time will be postponed. Year to August 1, 2012.

“The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has decided to postpone the implementation of the new regulations for one year. The first is to benefit these enterprises.” The relevant person in the quality inspection department of Shaoxing County appealed that textile companies, especially those that mainly attack the domestic sales market, should seize the opportunity for the extension of the new national standard. , step up "solve" inventory.

The new national standard has a higher scope of application and a higher safety factor. "Compared with the old version of the National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products, the scope of application of the new specification is even greater and the safety factor is more demanding." Quality and Standards of Shaoxing County Quality Supervision Bureau According to the introduction of Jin Zhang Jin, the new specification mainly modifies the scope of application. In addition to retaining the original textile products for clothing and decoration, the “home textile products” have been added; the catalogue of textile products not falling within the scope of this standard has been classified from 10 categories. Increased to 13 categories, added "one-time use of health supplies," "Bags, bags, back bags, shoes, umbrellas" and "carpet." In addition, the mandatory norms for infant textile products have been strengthened. For example, infants and young children's textile products are defined as "textile products worn or used by infants and young children under the age of 24 months." The new regulations are changed to "age is 36 months or less..." and the applicable height is "80 cm" is changed to "100 cm", and it must be noted on the product identification plate that "infant and child textile products".

"More importantly, the new regulations are more stringent on the control of toxic and hazardous substances, and they also impose higher requirements on the capabilities of inspection agencies." Jin Zhangjin said. For example, the carcinogenic aromatic amines increase the number of "4-aminoazobenzenes" and the total number reaches 24. The aromatic amines must have a limit value of less than 20 mg/kg. At the same time increased the color fastness, formaldehyde, PH value, the sampling requirements for the decomposition of carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes. For the assessment standards for baby textiles, the color fastness to saliva and the criteria for protecting the skin of infants and children are added.

The use of one-year buffer period companies to step up shipments to digest according to the old national standard, Shaoxing County in the first half of this year, the rate of textile disqualification was 4.2%, of which the color fastness, PH value, etc. are the focus of failure rate. "If according to the new national standard, Shaoxing County will greatly increase the rate of textile failure." Industry analysts, due to the rapid growth of the domestic market, this year, many textile and garment companies are facing the problem of the year-on-year increase in inventory, and this time The new national standard is a mandatory standard. After the implementation of the new national standard on August 1, 2012, production, sales, and imports of textile products that do not meet the new norms will be banned. To this end, after the contents of the new national standard were announced, Shaoxing County enterprises allowed existing products to be digested on the one hand, and on the other hand, they began to produce products in accordance with the new regulations.

As for the digest of inventory, the person introduced the general practice in the industry. “For inventory, sales are generally discounted first. Products that have not been sold after a certain period of time will be calculated on 'pounds' and awarded to some large discount stores.” However, the source stated that due to the implementation of the new regulations, Some old-standard stocks have products that have a “shelf life”. Discounted stores that want to “eat” these stocks will also face certain policy risks.
