September Issued The New National Standard Of Cotton Fine Staple Cotton

In July 22nd, the Hebei provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau organized the cotton national standard publicity and Implementation Conference.

It was announced that China's cotton grade inspection method, which has been used for 40 years, will be replaced by the color standard.

The newly revised GB1103 national standard of cotton fine staple cotton will be released in September 1st and will be implemented in September 1, 2013.

The implementation of the new standard is related to whether the index system and testing method of cotton quality and instrumented test can be integrated with international practices. It is of great significance to improve the quality assurance system of cotton in China, enhance the competitiveness of cotton and cotton textiles in China, and promote the healthy development of cotton industry.

The national standards and inspection technical training of national GB1103 cotton, which was led by the China Fiber Inspection Bureau and combined with the relevant departments, was carried out in 3 places in Hebei, Hubei and Xinjiang respectively.

According to Chen Qinglin, director of Hebei Provincial Bureau of silk inspection, the cotton standard is a mandatory standard with technology and management nature, and plays a very important role in cotton production, circulation and trade.

Compared with the original standard, the revised standard changes involve 21 items. The abolition of grade and color level is the core content of the standard. It is also an important measure for the fiber testing system to be in line with the international practice. It is also an important content in the reform of cotton quality inspection system in China.

The newly revised cotton national standard will carry out the computerized package inspection of cotton wrapped cotton, and realize the scientific and objective assessment of the internal quality of cotton, promote the optimal allocation and full utilization of cotton resources, promote industrial upgrading, technological progress, reduce the cost of textile, improve the quality of textiles, and promote cotton.

Development.

Xu Shuibo, chief engineer of China Fiber Inspection Bureau, said that the main purpose of studying the color grading system of cotton is to divide the existing cotton grade "three conditions", that is, maturity, color characteristics and quality of rolling mill, so as to meet the requirement of all instruments for quality inspection of large cotton type.

Whether the cotton grading test can be abolished as soon as possible and the grading system of cotton color will be implemented smoothly will be related to whether the index system and testing method of cotton quality and instrumented test can be integrated with the international practice.

According to the relevant experts, the new standard is correct.

The benefits of development lie in 3 aspects: promoting the development of agricultural production, meeting the needs of cotton circulation and promoting the development of cotton textile industry.

At present, when cotton planting area can not increase substantially, it is particularly important to improve cotton yield and quality.

The new cotton standard puts the cotton quality test method and the assessment of the internal quality of cotton in a more prominent position. It helps to guide the agricultural sector to cultivate fine varieties, guide cotton growers in various high quality cotton, and guide cotton purchase to implement high quality and high price, so as to achieve the goal of improving cotton varieties, improving quality and increasing the income of cotton farmers.

According to reports, Hebei Fiber Inspection Bureau has been involved in the national cotton color grading inspection research since 2005. In 2011, the first national color level standard research center was set up to undertake the specific work of the production and distribution of color standards in China.
