pH value detection has become the main technical barrier for export of textiles and garments

The pH value refers to the residual acid and alkali content in the fabric, which is generally required to be in the neutral range. Under alkaline (high pH) conditions, textiles will stimulate and corrode the skin, causing skin inflammation, and bacteria and germs multiply and grow rapidly, which is harmful to the human body; and excessive acidity (low pH), Garments are susceptible to damage in storage. In order to improve the safety of clothing, the United States, Japan, the European Union and other countries and regions have made strict regulations on safety items in textiles. The pH value is also listed as one of the safety items that must be inspected for textiles, and pH value has also become one of the main technical barriers in the field of textiles. In order to standardize the production of textiles, improve the quality of textiles, and reduce the technical barriers encountered by my country's textiles in international trade, GB 18401-2010 'Basic Safety Technical Specifications for National Textile Products' implemented on August 1, 2012 makes corresponding requirements for textile safety items At the same time, the SN/T1649-2005 'Inspection Specifications for Import and Export Textile Safety Projects', which was officially implemented on May 1, 2006, also made clear regulations on the pH value of export textiles. The pH value of products (Type B) needs to be controlled between 4.0 and 7.5, and the non-direct skin contact products (Type C) can be relaxed to 4.0 to 9.0. Anything beyond the range is judged to be unqualified. According to statistics, the most unfavorable factor in my country's textile and garment export disputes is the failure of textile quality testing, which also causes a lot of waste of resources and corporate losses. It is a pain point and difficulty in the development of my country's textile and garment industry. The pursuit of production efficiency and the advantage of low price for one of the textile enterprises has led to the lack of strict control of product quality. Many returns and non-issue by foreign customs are related to quality. It is believed that with the gradual maturity of China's textile foreign trade exports and the gradual realization of product quality and brand benefits in China, foreign trade disputes about quality have gradually decreased, and trade frictions related to technology and markets have gradually escalated. This is the domestic textile industry. Extra attention is required.
