Hangzhou Consumer Protection Committee Released The Results Of Comparative Test Of Children'S Swimsuit: The Failure Rate Is 81.8%.

From Hangzhou market The official website of the supervision and Management Bureau learned that swimming is a popular summer heat and fitness activity on hot summer days. Swimsuit is naturally an essential tool for swimming. Compared with other clothing, swimsuit products have higher quality requirements, as they are closely dressed and have long time to swim in swimming pools or sea water. In view of this, the Hangzhou Consumer Protection Commission recently commissioned the China Textile Standard Inspection and certification Limited by Share Ltd (National Textile Quality Supervision and inspection center) to launch a comparative test on the children's bathing suits sold in the Hangzhou market and part of the Internet business platform. In this comparative experiment, Hangzhou Consumer Protection Commission purchased 11 brands of swimsuit samples in Hangzhou's main shopping malls and electronic business platforms. Among them, 9 batches Swimwear Products do not meet the relevant national standards, which do not meet 4 items, and the standard rate is 81.8%.

A comparison experiment was conducted with 11 batches of 4 physical stores and 4 electronic business platforms in Hangzhou. Children swimsuit Samples, including Decathlon, Disney, Lining, Barbara and other domestic brands. In addition to national mandatory standards, the inspection items include items such as product instructions, fiber content, color fastness to sea water, color fastness to chlorinated water (swimming pool water), color fastness to light and elongation of stretch.

Analysis of items that are not up to standard

Product instructions. The product instructions are the description of the overall situation of the goods. It is the information bridge for producers and sellers to deliver product information and explain the relevant problems. It is an important evidence for consumers to choose and use, and it is also an important basis for consumers to safeguard their rights and interests. Product instructions generally need to comply with the requirements of GB/T 5296.4, that is, the product description should include 8 parts: Manufacturer's name and address, product name, product specification, fiber composition and content, product standard, maintenance graphic symbol, safety category, durability label and so on. Spot checks found that a total of 4 batches of swimwear products use instructions do not meet the standards, accounting for 28.6% of the total number of disqualification, mainly manifested as incorrect safety categories. The main reason for the failure of product instructions is the lack of standard knowledge in production enterprises and unfamiliarity with standards, leading to wrong, less or missing contents.

Product instructions are not up to standard.

　 The fiber content of one sample is not up to standard.

Fiber content reflects the material composition of fabrics used in clothing products, determines the wearability of clothing products, and is also one of the main reference indexes for consumers when buying. Taking into account the particularity of the use occasions of swimsuit products, the content of spandex is one of the important indexes to evaluate swimsuit quality. The general spandex content is suitable for 15% to 20%, which can ensure the body's motion is flexible and comfortable. In this comparative test, there were 1 batches of swimsuits whose fiber content was not up to the standard, mainly expressed as fiber composition and content.

Fiber content is not up to standard.

Color fastness refers to the firmness of fabric dyeing, and it is a test item that directly affects the overall appearance of clothing. In addition, because swimsuit is close fitting, if the color fastness is not up to standard, it is easy to transfer dye from clothing to human skin, so that dye molecules can be absorbed by human body through the skin, affecting human health, especially on infants and children. In this test, 1 batches of swimsuits had no fastness to light fastness, which was lower than the standard fastness to light fastness. When they were dressed in the open air, they would be discoloured or faded because of exposure to sunlight, or even become transparent colors, which could affect clothing or even their health. The situation is not up to standard as shown in Table 5.

Color fastness is not up to standard.

　　 It is a major problem that tensile elongation is not up to standard.

　　 Elongation at stretch Refers to the percentage of the length of the swimsuit fabric's elongation relative to the original length under the specified load. Stretch elastic elongation can reflect the quality of swimsuit fabrics, and is one of the important indicators for testing swimsuit product quality. Stretch elastic elongation is not up to standard, it is easy to cause the central part of the garment to burst, resulting in the risk of "light out". In this test, the stretch elastic elongation rate is not in line with the standard project hit area, and does not meet the standard rate, accounting for 72.7% of the total detection.

Tensile strength of some products

For these alleged unqualified products, Hangzhou Consumer Protection Committee It will be handed over to the local administrative law enforcement departments for further sampling inspection and disqualification will be investigated and dealt with according to law.

　　 Consumers should pay attention to the following points when choosing children's bathing suits.

1. swimsuits need to be tried on, not too tight.

Considering the gravity of water will pull the swimsuit phenomenon, so generally, swimsuits are tighter than normal clothes, but not tighter. The tightness of swimsuits will cause pressure on the human body, causing body scratch and even causing poor blood flow and affecting normal movement. When you try it on, you can move your body properly, with the principle of tighter, comfortable and free movement.

2. children recommend split swimming suit.

Swimsuit is the best combination of nylon and spandex, followed by Polyester Compared with polyester fiber, nylon is more slippery and wear-resistant than polyester fiber. The spandex content is suitable for 18-20%, which can not only guarantee the good resilience of swimsuit, but also make the wearer move freely and freely. Swimsuits should avoid the more styles of stitching, and choose the products with more stitched stitches and straight rounded products. Otherwise, if the movement is too large, it will cause the stitching line to open, and the risk of "light out" will appear. For children, the choice of split bathing suits is more appropriate and convenient to wear.

3. the quality of swimsuits with lining is better.

Because swimsuits are all for body wear, it is recommended that people with skin allergy should use silk covered cotton bathing suits, with pure cotton inner layer and no skin irritation. The swimwear crotch should have interlining, and the swimsuit with lining will last longer. In addition, it is best to choose swimsuits which are quite contrasting with the color of water. When they are in danger, they are easy to find and rescue.

4. swimsuits should pay attention to rinsing and rinsing.

The chlorinated water and sea water in the swimming pool will corrode. Swimwear To reduce its service life, water can be fully wetted before launching. After swimming, rinse the swimsuit with water in time. The water temperature should be at room temperature. After hand washing, gently wring it dry and dry in a cool and dry place to avoid ironing and exposure.
