Textile Enterprises Should Pay Attention To The Revision Of Flammable Standard Of Textiles By Mei Xin

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPCS) recently issued a final rule to amend the flammability standard of textiles, which came into force on September 22nd this year.

CPCS said that the flammable standards for textiles issued in 1953 are out of date in some respects, and new regulations will be revised to better reflect current consumption habits and technology.

The products regulated by this standard are garments and fabrics used for clothing.

This standard applies to all garments and their fabrics, whether they are adult clothing or children's wear, whether they are everyday clothes or pajamas.

CPCS also has other regulations on flammability of children's pajamas, which are more stringent than those applicable to ordinary clothing.

As the main export market of textile and clothing in the United States, the promulgation of relevant standards and regulations in Ningbo will inevitably have an impact on the textile and garment industry in Ningbo. In particular, flammability is the focus of safety concern, and also involves the technical level. Such standards and regulations should be especially concerned.

The United States revised the flammability standard of ordinary clothing and clothing textiles, and put forward more and more stringent requirements. It can be seen that the international demand for fire retardants for daily necessities is getting higher and higher.

Textile and clothing is a key export product of Beilun. In response to the new US textile flammability standard, the inspection and quarantine department has updated the relevant testing equipment, and has made technical support for the smooth export of textile and garment production enterprises.

At the same time, the inspection and Quarantine Department reminded many Ningbo textile and garment enterprises to make efforts to conform to the trend of international trade in the face of many difficulties faced by them, actively study quality standards, understand how to overcome technical difficulties, develop and use environmentally friendly flame retardants, pay attention to the trend of international market at any time, and avoid trade risks in time.
