The three national standards are "Children's clothing rope and drawstring safety requirements", "Children's pull-off safety specifications" and "improve the safety of children's clothing design and production practices," are the first release. The introduction of the series of standards, China's children's wear market will play an active normative and promoting role. China's exports of children's clothing has been due to rope, small parts design is unreasonable, unqualified safety projects, Europe and the United States are frequently implemented recall. Since July, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has implemented a voluntary recall of China's children's clothing three times in a row, while the RAPEX system in the EU recalled only 13 cases of Chinese-made children's textile and clothing products in May. Europe and the United States informed the recall of 63 batches of our children's textile and apparel exports, more than 80% is due to small parts or rope does not meet the requirements. The safety performance of children's apparel small parts has become an increasingly important quality and safety requirement in Europe and the United States, and has strengthened the formulation of relevant standards.

On the other hand, some enterprises have not yet established a sound quality and safety system, in order to reduce the cost of production of raw materials that do not meet the requirements, affecting product quality. China's exports to Europe and the United States frequently recalled children's clothing, causing huge losses to the business, but also caused the relevant departments attach great importance. At present, China has initially established a standard system for children's wear including basic standards, method standards, product standards and safety standards, and the overall standard has reached the international advanced level.
