The Quality Lifeline Of Children's Clothing Industry In China

In April 2011, AQSIQ 14 kinds of disqualification found in sampling inspection throughout the country were announced. Clothing for children and infants Among them, including consumers familiar with Famous brand On the list. Children's clothing industry, which is unanimously optimistic by the industry, is often questioned by consumers because of quality problems. This may become the most difficult constraint factor in the development of children's clothing industry in China.

Two standards for a factory

As for the safety of children's products, there are strict rules in Europe and America and Japan. China is a big exporter of clothing in the world, and it is not unable to complete the production of high quality products. In fact, low quality domestic products and high quality export products may exist in the same factory.

Wang Xiaoming, chairman of Foshan Wanxin garment factory, told me that the price of the same style of children's clothing is only 60% of that of the mainland.

"The gap can not be seen in our clothing shop," Wang Xiaoming said clearly. The real gap is in the upper reaches. "Fabric, accessories, printing and dyeing" problems are all in these links.

"In China, you can find the best material in the world, and you can find materials that are exactly the same as those with the best material appearance and handle, but they are completely different processes and ingredients. Unless they are sent to professional institutions for inspection, they will not be able to distinguish between pedestrians, or even a shorter period of time. Wang Xiaoming said.

The hidden rules in the industry are known to everyone. It has become commonplace to produce products of different quality in the same factory.

"We started exporting children's clothing in 2005, and exported hundreds of batches of goods in 2009. There was no problem at all, and it was fully in line with EU standards." That is to say, Liu Tun, the boss of Shun Hua garment company, who is separated from Wanxin garment factory.

In his view, although the upstream industry is mixed up, it is not impossible to find a good partner. But since they started selling children's clothing in 2009, they have been blacklisted by the quality inspection departments of Tianjin and Guangzhou two times.

"The price given by domestic businessmen is only five or six of that abroad, and they have no special request for quality problems, so the result will be so." Liu Gengzhi said.

According to industry experts, the price of children's clothing in China's market is not lower than that in the United States, but the cost of a large number of channels has eaten profits, making factory production links not profitable. Therefore, on the premise of not affecting the appearance quality, some factories reduce the standard when they purchase the fabric, and the low cost fabric will inevitably result in the low quality products.

"In the case of export orders, customers even asked to produce reports from Hongkong or European and American inspection organizations," Wang Xiaoming told the author. "For example, there are many colors in children's clothing. Usually, each color is tested for thousands of yuan, and a batch of clothes sometimes only needs 10000 yuan for pigment detection."

"Domestic orders and international comparison, the difference is very obvious, low price is on the one hand, on the other hand is the quality of monitoring can not be implemented in place," Liu Gengzhi said, foreign customers should be refined to each color detection, but domestic customers as long as the appearance, touch, taste no problem, "the industry called pure sensory inspection."
