As the "second skin" of students
What is the quality of school uniforms
Recently
Zhejiang Province Ningbo Municipal Consumer Protection Committee jointly
Ningbo City Yinzhou District Consumer Protection Committee released the comparative test results of
8 batches of school uniformsamong which
were purchased online 22 batches of school uniform samples
do not meet the national mandatory or recommended standards
involves Third-party testing agencies for brands such as " Nanjiren " and "Western Fairy Tales" are inspecting school uniform samples purchased by the Ningbo Consumer Protection Committee. Data picture
More than 70% of the online samples were unqualified
Among the samples, 31 batches were purchased online and 7 batches were purchased offline. A third-party testing agency was entrusted to test the school uniform logo, fiber content, formaldehyde content, etc. that consumers are concerned about. Comparative tests were carried out on 13 items including pH value , azo, water color fastness and so on. After testing: Among the 31 batches of school uniforms purchased online by
, the test results of 22 batches did not meet the national mandatory or recommended standards, accounting for 71% of the total batches purchased on the online platform. The test results of 7 batches of school uniforms purchased by
from offline stores all meet the national mandatory or recommended standards.
All test samples have good results in terms of formaldehyde, azo, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to dry rubbing color fastness , color fastness to washing, etc., and all meet relevant standards.
The non-compliance rate of school uniform logo labels is relatively high
In this test, 15 school uniform logos did not comply with GB/T5296.4-2012 "Instructions for Use of Consumer Products Part 4" Textiles and Clothing" or GB/T31888-2015 "School Uniforms for Primary and Secondary School Students", the non-compliance rate is about 40%:
| Substandard items | Number of brands (number) |
| Product model labeling is not standardized | 5 |
| Fiber content is not marked | 5 |
| Maintenance method symbols are not standardized or missing | 10 |
| Instructions for use are inconsistent with content in various forms | 9 |
| Manufacturer's name and address Not marked | 4 |
| Product name Not marked | 1 |
| Implementation standards are not applicable or not marked | 3 |
| Security category marking error | 1 |
| The durability label lacks content | 7 |
For example, the summer school uniform suit purchased at Western Fairy Tale Flagship Store does not indicate the lining composition and content. The product model number is model specification: 140/68, and the safety category is incorrect (explicitly stated GB/18401B Category), and the durability label of the bottom garment does not indicate the fiber composition, content, and maintenance methods.
There are many problems with the actual measurement results of fiber content
In this test, the fiber content of 4 products did not meet the standard requirements. The fiber content name should be marked in accordance with GB/T11951 and GB/T4146.1. When a certain fiber content on the label is ≤3%, the actual content shall not be 0. When a certain fiber content is ≤10%, the fiber content tolerance It is 3%. When a certain fiber content is >10%, the fiber content tolerance is 5%.
For example, the cotton fiber content of blue/brown/white tops and brown bottoms for school uniforms and garden uniforms purchased at colorful pudding flagship store does not meet national standards. GB/T31888-2015 stipulates that the nominal value of the cotton fiber content of the part in direct contact with the skin should not be less than 35%. The actual test results of the brown fabric for the bottoms purchased this time were polyester fiber 78.8% and viscose fiber 21. 2%, containing glue.
For example, the Nanjiren brand children's suit purchased clearly states that the white/blue/navy fabric fiber content of the bottoms is 100% cotton, but the actual measurement shows no cotton content. It is actually 92% polyester fiber and spandex 8%.
pH value and light color fastness are not in compliance with national standards.
pH value is pH. Human skin is weakly acidic. Under such environmental conditions, it can prevent the invasion of germs. Therefore, if the pH value of textiles is between slightly acidic or neutral On the contrary, if the pH value of textiles is too high or too low, it will destroy the balance and resistance of the skin, causing skin allergies or inducing infection and leading to the invasion of germs.
The pH value does not meet the standard requirements and affects the health of children. For example, the pH value of kindergarten clothes purchased at a Shanghai Luyuan brand children's clothing store exceeds the requirements of GB31701-2015. Textile clothing is prone to fiber aging and dye fading under high-energy radiation such as sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, which affects the appearance of the clothing.
Among the samples tested this time, the light fastness of one sample does not meet the standard requirements. For example, the summer school uniform set purchased at Western Fairy Tales flagship store has a standard value of light fastness of navy blue fabric for discoloration ≥ 4 Level, the actual measurement result is level 3-4, which does not meet the standard requirements.
Accessory sharpness and rope requirements that do not meet the standards may cause danger
GB31701-2015 " Safety Technical Specifications for Infant and Children's Textile Products " stipulates that accessories used in infants and children's textile products should not have accessible sharp points and Sharp edges. The sharp points and sharp edge ends of the attachment can easily pierce the skin, posing a risk of punctures and cuts.
Among the samples tested this time, 11 samples involved sharp tips and sharp edges, which did not meet the standard requirements. The non-compliance rate accounted for about 28.9% of the total tested samples. For example, the Zhuoshini brand school uniform with style number JTH-MK908003 does not meet the standard requirements.
If the rope is too long, it may become entangled, caught or hooked by moving objects, or tripped, resulting in injury or even death of children. The standards stipulate that clothing for children and infants under 7 years old should not have any cords, and children 7 years and above should not have free ends on their head and neck cords.
purchased a girl's suit from taskopper flagship store . The test results showed that there was a rope strap on the head and neck, and the rope loop protruded from the collar with a circumference of 84mm, which did not meet the standard requirements.
Wet rubbing color fastness still needs to be improved
Products with poor color fastness will cause the pigments on the fabric to fall off and fade when exposed to rain and sweat during wearing. The dye will transfer from the textile to the skin, and the molecules of the dye will Heavy metal ions, etc., may be absorbed by the human body through the skin, and then undergo a reduction reaction under the biological catalysis of bacteria, producing harmful substances that endanger human health; on the other hand, it may also affect the staining of other clothing worn on the body.
Children's skin is delicate, and the color fastness to wet rubbing does not meet the standard requirements, which will affect the child's health. Among the samples tested this time, the wet rubbing color fastness of 4 samples did not meet the standard requirements.
For example, the color fastness to wet rubbing of a blue/white striped top and navy blue school uniform purchased at Huangjiafu flagship store does not meet the mandatory standard GB31701-2015 Class B requirements.
Summary table of online shopping for primary and secondary school uniforms
Consumption tips
❶ Choose a brand. Try to choose products from brands with larger scale, better product quality and better service quality.
❷ look at the logo. Including product quality labels, test reports, etc. Pay attention to whether the manufacturer's name and address, product name, product model or specification, fiber composition and content, maintenance methods, implemented product standards, safety categories and other information, cotton fiber content, and school uniform standards are clearly marked.
❸ check the appearance. Such as color difference, needle holes, yellowing, whether there are loose threads or leaks at the seams, etc. If the above situation occurs, you should promptly request replacement.
❹ Wash first. Most of the floating color, dirt and free formaldehyde remaining in the fabric can be removed by washing with water. At the same time, washing can improve the pH value of the product if it exceeds the standard.
❺ Experience. If you feel that the product causes discomfort to your body or have objections to the product during use, you can entrust a relevant testing agency to test the product. If it is confirmed that there is a problem with the product quality, you can file a complaint to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law.
