Europe And The United States Demand For Increased &Nbsp; Export Children'S Clothing With Excellent Quality And Stable Market.

A few days ago, the European Commission issued a warning.

Children's clothing is one of the important export commodities in recent years in China.

The author learned from the Ningbo inspection and quarantine bureau that in 2010, the clothing export large city of Ningbo exported 14268 batches of infant and children's clothing, and the value was $244 million, which increased by 24.11% and 40.23% respectively compared with 2009.

With the improvement of safety requirements for children's clothing in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, it is particularly important for China's export children's clothing enterprises to further consolidate the international market.

Not long ago, a group of 4000 cotton boy breeches exported to Spain, produced by a company in Ningbo, were found to be unqualified products by the Ningbo inspection and Quarantine Bureau because of the opening of 5~12 mm. The reason is that if children accidentally insert their fingers into the opening, they can easily be wrapped and difficult to pull out, thereby preventing the finger tip blood circulation and causing finger necrosis in children.

The inspector immediately explained the seriousness of the problem to the enterprise. At the same time, he asked the enterprise to start rectification immediately and help the enterprise put forward a new design plan.

Almost 1382 of the girls' short skirts exported to Canada were inspected by a company in the Ningbo economic and Technological Development Zone. After inspection, it was found that the girth of the skirt was 80 centimeters long and not fixed. Because the index involved safety items, there was a potential safety hazard, and the inspection and quarantine Department decided that it was not qualified and was not allowed to leave the country.

With the increase of safety requirements for children's clothing in Europe, America and other countries, I

In Europe and the United States, children's clothing is widely used as a "children's product" for supervision. The relevant products are increasingly stringent in terms of technical regulations and standards. However, the three elements of "human, equipment and management" in China's spinning and weaving industry are generally inadequate, which objectively causes relevant enterprises to be unable to cope with laws and regulations.

According to the survey of Yinzhou, a major textile producing area in Ningbo, nearly 60% enterprises have no design and qualification for incoming samples. Only 35% of enterprises have the ability to carry out testing and other automatic control, and most of them can only carry out preliminary control of simple items such as color fastness and shrinkage.

In addition, the product design is dominated by the customers, the production enterprises produce according to the samples or drawings, and they do not know enough about the technical regulations and standards of the importing countries.

The inspection and quarantine department found that 36% of the enterprises indicated that they knew about the export related requirements initially, and nearly 3/4 of the enterprises learned from the information sources such as regulatory authorities. The enterprises generally lacked the enthusiasm for learning. Only 5% of the enterprises were confirmed to have "complete mastery" because they had encountered quality incidents, and 60% of the enterprises reflected that the "customer requirements" were equivalent to the standards and regulations.

In view of the new demands of the developed countries, how can Chinese enterprises protect the market share of children's garments that are hard to get, and further consolidate their development?

In this regard, professionals believe that the departments concerned should first strengthen children's clothing.

In addition, trade associations should fully explain the policies and regulations and educate them so as to enhance cooperation among enterprises, enterprises and testing institutions.
