Monitoring Results Of Hazardous Substances In Leather Clothing Products In Shanghai: Low Risk Standards Should Be Improved.

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > leather < /a > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < < > in the production process may contain excessive formaldehyde, decomposition of harmful aromatic amine dyes, six valent chromium and other harmful substances, during long-term wear process through skin absorption or respiratory tract inhalation, may cause inflammation, allergy, and even cause human lesions and induce cancer.

Recently, the Shanghai quality and Technology Supervision Bureau has carried out the risk monitoring of leather clothing products quality and safety, and six pieces of chromium have been detected in 11 batches of garments such as Li Lang and three run.

< /p >

< p > for national mandatory standard GB20400-2006 "leather and fur harmful substances limit", the free formaldehyde content of leather and fur, and the content of decomposable aromatic amine dye are defined. The formaldehyde content in leather is less than 300mg/kg, and the harmful aromatic amine dye can be decomposed to less than 30mg/kg.

However, the standard applies to leather and fur raw material products, not including the products they produce.

Industry recommended standard QB/T 1615-2006 "leather clothing" harmful substances limit is also not provided.

Recommended standard QB/T 2880-2007 "children's leather < a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "target=" _blank "> shoes < /a > stipulates that the six valence chromium content index of children's leather shoes is less than 10mg/kg, but the leather clothing product standard does not stipulate the quota of six valent chromium content.

< /p >

< p > in order to evaluate the quality and safety of leather garment products, Shanghai quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, according to GB/T 19941-2005 "determination of formaldehyde content in leather and fur chemical tests", GB/T19942 "determination of prohibited azo dyes in leather and fur chemistry", and GB/T 22807-2008 "determination of six valent chromium in leather and fur chemical tests", detected the contents of free formaldehyde, decomposable harmful aromatic amine dyes and six valent chromium in leather garment products, and carried out risk assessment according to the test results.

< /p >

< p > this risk monitoring collected 50 batches of samples. After testing, 47 batches of free formaldehyde were detected, but none of them exceeded 300mg/kg; 6 batches of samples were found to be able to decompose harmful aromatic amine dyes, but none of them exceeded 30mg/kg; 11 batches of six valent chromium were detected, of which 1 batches of products were detected with six valent chromium content exceeding 10mg/kg.

Leather clothing is a kind of non direct contact with skin. Taking into account the seriousness of risk and the possibility of risk, experts from the organization assessed that the risk level of formaldehyde, decomposable aromatic amine dyes and six valent chromium content in leather clothing is "low risk".

< /p >

< p > according to the results of risk monitoring, the Shanghai quality and Technology Supervision Bureau has informed the relevant production enterprises to urge the enterprises to strictly implement the national standards, strengthen quality control, and reduce or eliminate the risk of quality and safety.

And report the quality and safety risk information of leather garment products to relevant departments, and suggest perfecting relevant national standards.

< /p >

At the same time, the Shanghai quality and Technology Supervision Bureau reminds consumers that when choosing and using leather clothing, they should pay attention to buying leather clothing products produced by reputable enterprises in regular department stores and leather clothing stores.

Because the product value is generally high, consumers should keep good shopping vouchers.

< /p >

< p > when choosing leather garments, do not choose products with obvious pungent smell.

The smell of leather is produced by the poor quality of tanning. It is not easy to distribute and is not easy to remove.

When purchasing and wearing, you should carefully inspect the certificate, logo / label. The information of the label of leather clothing should include the name, address, telephone number, product name, trade mark, product number, specification, standard, place of origin, fabric material and material of the production / distribution unit, and the necessary product instructions.

Consumers can purchase and use products correctly according to their identities.
