One is to improve the ecological safety of export apparel fabric pH test will be formally implemented in February next year, for many Shaoxing textile enterprises, the targeted local "responsibility" policy, the smooth implementation of the Item challenge Prior to many years, inspection and quarantine departments in various parts of the garment and fabric samples for export sampling found that when the pH value exceeds the standard from time to time, resulting in garment export delays. A similar situation also appears in Shaoxing. Recently, Shaoxing City Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for this year's general survey of clothing census results and data accumulation analysis found that the export of apparel fabric pH value higher failure rate detection. Relevant person in charge of the council said, "Export apparel fabric plus pH value is necessary." PH value of the export inspection items will be only 1 month ago, Shaoxing City Inspection and Quarantine Bureau Shangyu offices in the area of ​​export garment enterprises for safety Health project sampling, the results found that 44 out of 49 samples exceeded the pH value. Zhejiang Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau issued an article on this issue, "early warning", "a serious problem of excessive pH value should be caused by a high degree of vigilance." An industry source said that the pH value refers to the residual acid-base content of the fabric, the general requirements are Neutral range. As the surface of human skin was weakly acidic, which is conducive to preventing the invasion of germs, if the clothing over the standard, it will reduce the human skin immunity. An intuitive manifestation is that some skin-sensitive groups that wear a pH-overdressing garment can cause skin irritation or discomfort resulting in physical abnormalities that only occur to a few "unwell" populations and did not cause Most importing countries have strong supervision on the pH value of clothing, which has caused some domestic textile enterprises to leave the sampling inspection system. But this phenomenon will change in Shaoxing. On November 20, Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau promulgated "Preparatory Notice on pH Value Testing of Garment Fabrics Exported to Shaoxing Region", which means that Shaoxing Spinning Co. formally entered the "need to test the export apparel batch plus test pH value" Preparation period. After a period of five months of preparation and a buffer period, April 1 next year, this measure will be enforced in Shaoxing. According to the insiders, the target of the pH test is the export apparel batch (intercepting batch) to be tested, which is executed according to the testing standard of non-direct contact skin products, and the pH value is 4-9. This means that in the future, Shaoxing textile and garment enterprises to export apparel fabrics, if the pH test failed, will face the embarrassment can not be exported. The difference with other places is that next year, the inspection and quarantine department of Shaoxing will no longer test the relatively safe PCP (pentachlorophenol) index because the majority of exported apparel fabrics have reached this standard, and the detection rate of PCP is relatively low. Domestic pH test into the norm On textile safety issues, as early as 1987, China has developed a textile pH value test method standards, and formaldehyde testing to become a regular textile inspection project. January 1, 2005, "National Safety Technical Code for Textile Products" to replace the "Formaldehyde content of textiles," a new national mandatory standards for textiles, the Ordinance, the pH value of aqueous extract once again be standardized, that is, clothing Fabric non-direct contact with the skin pH value of 4-9, direct contact with the skin of clothing fabrics pH standards require relatively higher, 4-7.5. This "balanced" pH-based measure of domestic enforcement has led many textile companies to "conscientiously" comply with them. According to the news from Zhejiang Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, in the past third quarter, a total of 125 batches of socks (excluding export products) from 125 enterprises in Wenzhou, Ningbo, Jinhua and Shaoxing were selected and the overall pass rate was 96.3% Batch pass rate of 84%. The same responsibility in the export of Huizhou, Guangdong region, the pH value of clothing exports only stay in the "sampling" level. This year, the sampling exceeded the pH value of the data once reached 87.9%, "strong inspection" and "sampling" between the two effects is self-evident. Zhejiang Textile Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., located in Shaoxing Binjiang Industrial Zone, which points out the direction for green textiles Although this is not in the scope of "enforcing export pH standards", the increasingly mature green textile safety issue, any official subtle action, Caused by the franchise in Africa textile market concern. Chen Zhongdong, deputy director of the company's office, said that the enforcement of the pH standard is inevitable for the export textile enterprises. For the time being, many foreign customers have put forward specific requirements on the pH standards. In his impression, their company exported North African cotton wax printed cloth, mostly in the pH between 4-9. Jin Guanxiu, a senior engineer at Zhejiang Modern Textile Industry Research Institute, said that this is a positive sign of green consumption, which points out the direction for enterprises to produce green textiles and at the same time, helps enterprises to gain a deep understanding of textile safety and break down the overseas green Trade barriers. One of the details is that the official website of the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Shaoxing City, which is not usually mentioned by ordinary people, clicks quickly after more than 300 news on the message of "Preparations for export apparel fabrics to measure pH value" Behind, focus on many Shaoxing textile enterprises focus on the New Deal eyes.
