Have You Seen The Clothing Safety Signs?

You are picking.

Is it clear when buying?

It is necessary to recognize a safety symbol "GB18401-2003", which specifies 5 specific health and safety indicators, such as color fastness, formaldehyde content, azo dye, odor and pH value.

The newly produced garments that conform to the specification must be marked with "GB18401-2003".

However, the vast majority of consumers do not understand this.

So why are clothes without safety signs harmful to human body? Law enforcement officials of the trade and Industry Bureau told reporters that clothing manufacturers need to add various dyes and auxiliaries in the process of processing garments, which can cause harm to human skin and physical health when the content of these chemicals reaches a certain value.

For men's ironing shirts, the use of additives is likely to cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard.

Most of the pH value is unqualified, and the carcinogenic aromatic amine azo dyes are mostly found in bright women's clothing and children's wear.

Therefore, there are several hidden dangers in the wearing or using process of unsafe clothing. First, the free formaldehyde in fabrics can cause headache, weakness, temperature changes, sensory disturbance, irregular sweating, pulse speed, dermatitis and skin allergy. Two, some aromatic amine intermediates that are left in the printing and dyeing process of azo dyes have carcinogenic effects on the human body; three

Heavy metals, such as Hg, Ni, Cr and Pb, may be left in the products. Heavy metal content will not only weaken human immune function, induce cancer, but also harm the central nervous system of human beings.

How can we buy safe clothes? Experts give consumers three tips.

First of all, we should pay attention to observation.

。

Specification divides textile products into three categories: A, B and C.

Class A is for infants and young children. B is a product that directly contacts the skin. Class C is a product that does not directly touch the skin.

Textile product labels should be directly marked with product safety categories, such as "infant products" or products labeled "safety class: class GB18401-2003B", which belong to qualified products.

The product tag only includes "category a" and "B class", which are not standardized, but the products without safety signs are unqualified products. Second, to "smell", the qualified products should not have peculiar smell; third, to do some simple small tests to judge whether clothes or textiles are qualified, for example, use a small piece of white cloth or white paper to press the fingers on the surface of the garment to rub back and forth several times to see if there is any obvious stain.
