I wonder if you often see things in a blur of professional nouns get be at a loss what to do, facing the continuous emission potential quality threats do not know how to deal with?
In order to ensure the life safety of the consumer, the European Union to textile chemicals, household textiles flame retardant performance, children's clothing safety performance are mandatory requirements.

Believe that such regulatory popularity will give consumers the life brings more and more security.
In China 's mandatory standards, mainly contains formaldehyde, azo, pH value, color fastness, peculiar smell. At the same time, there are additional components to ensure that the component test, no cheating.
Simply speaking, pH and the smell is not much of a problem, because the new clothes buy, always wash and wear. After washing, the pH value and the smell will improve a lot. But if too much plastic taste of products or to buy cautiously, because it usually contains a large amount of plasticizer.
