Due to factors such as lax procurement of raw materials and auxiliary materials, defective product design, lack of flame retardant performance testing and control measures, some foreign trade companies’ products have been repeatedly returned and notified by the importing country. Yesterday, reporters learned from relevant city departments that recently several batches of Shishi children’s pajamas have been recalled by Canada for not meeting relevant standards. The reason is that children’s pajamas do not meet Canadian flammability standards.
It is reported that children’s pajamas are becoming the focus of regulatory supervision in various countries due to the particularity of their intended use. In particular, flame retardancy standards have become a thorny problem for companies when exporting children’s pajamas. The reporter learned that foreign assessment requirements for the flame retardancy of children’s clothing are very clear. For example, Canada’s “Children’s Pajamas Regulations” stipulate in detail the definitions of applicable standards and related assessment requirements, and cite the relevant definitions in the Flammable Fabrics Act. . This regulation imposes strict requirements on infant and children’s pajamas. It is suitable for children’s pajamas, such as casual clothes, loose pajamas and robes, etc., which are worn for the purpose of sleeping or sleep-related activities. In addition to Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and other countries have introduced relevant regulations on the standards of children’s pajamas.
Industry insiders pointed out that flame retardancy refers to the fabric itself and is not directly related to the style of the clothes. The incident is mainly a standard issue. The products that the company was asked to recall this time were not caused by quality problems or differences in quality inspection standards implemented by different countries. In order to meet the meticulous and strict quality standards for children’s pajamas, relevant departments remind companies that they should focus on understanding the standards, labels, design, structure, performance and other requirements for children’s clothing in various countries, and overcome technical difficulties in testing. In particular, they should conduct flame retardant combustion performance testing. At the same time, companies must strictly control the product development process, do a good job in risk assessment and review of first sample design and safety projects, and remove obstacles to smooth exports.
