In addition to the new national standard for the cost test of production enterprises, Chengdu Business Daily reporter learned that in the new standard, the age of infants increased from 24 months to 36 months, and the classification of clothing was also more detailed. "This requires baby garment manufacturers and distributors to change in product procurement, production and sales, including labels, packaging and so on."

According to the introduction, "eco textile technical requirements" in the direct contact with skin products increased the limit value of the total amount of two phthalic acid two (2- ethyl) hexa (i.e. plasticizer), o-benzoic acid two butylbenzyl ester and dibutyl phthalate.

According to the requirements, infant clothing plasticizer content should not be higher than 0.1mg/kg.

"The head of clothing enterprises should pay attention to it."

Liu Cairong said that the role of plasticizers in clothing is mainly against UV and waterproofing. "Clothes contain proper plasticizers which are basically harmless to the human body. This is not the same as food, and we hope consumers do not worry."
