The identity of apparel products is confusing

Although the country has already issued national standards for apparel quality, the labeling of apparel products on the market is still very confusing. Many consumers are also unclear about how to use product label information to correctly purchase clothing and ensure their own safety.

Textile products are added with dyes, auxiliaries, etc. during printing and dyeing and post-processing. When these chemical reagents reach a certain level on textiles, they will cause serious damage to human skin and organs. Therefore, in order to ensure that textile products are harmless to human health during production, circulation, and consumption, the relevant national authorities have formulated the "National Safety Technical Code for Basic Textile Products" and have continuously updated and improved the content. In the latest edition of the National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Products, textile products are divided into three types according to their end use: infant textile products, textile products that directly contact the skin, and textile products that do not directly contact the skin, corresponding to “A”, "B", "C" three categories. The standard also requires that infants and young children's textile products must be marked on the instructions for use "baby and infant supplies." Other products should indicate on the instructions for use the categories of basic safety and technical requirements that they comply with, such as Category A, Category B, or Category C. Products are marked by a category. Textile products that do not meet this standard are prohibited from production, sales, and imports.

The latest edition of the "National Basic Safety Technical Specification for Textile Products" is a mandatory standard and the above provisions must all be implemented. The conclusion that "product is not safe" cannot be directly derived from "unidentified logo". The latest edition of the "National Safety Technical Code for Textile Products" requires clear requirements for the formaldehyde content, pH value, and carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes of textile products. Professional testing is required to determine whether the product is really safe.
