The Recommended National Standard For Outdoor Sportswear Has Entered The Stage Of Examination And Approval.

Spring Festival season, outdoor sports enthusiasts began to choose to buy a new season of outdoor.

Equipment and equipment.

Rain protection, sun protection, flame retardant and quick drying -- how to define the most prominent functional characteristics of outdoor sportswear? According to the various functional indicators of clothing labels, will it be possible to pick out suitable outdoor sports clothing? Is there a comparability of the functional indicators of different brands? The reporter interviewed found that despite the rapid development of the outdoor apparel industry in recent years, China has been lack of uniform outdoor clothing functional testing standards, and the quality of products sold in the market is not good.

The quality of products is uneven.

Reporters log on to a domestic e-commerce website, enter the "assault clothing" search, found a total of 470 thousand goods.

From these commodities, the price difference is very big, from 100 yuan to 2000 multivariate.

Some businesses have introduced the performance, technology and material of the product in detail on the page, but some businesses have only marked the words "waterproof and wind proof breathable clothing" on the page, and can not find other specific performance indicators.

According to statistics from China outdoor business alliance, sales of outdoor products in China in 2011 reached 54 billion 300 million yuan, an increase of nearly 70% over 2010.

From 2010 to 2012, the number of outdoor products brand active in the Chinese market has reached 717, an increase of 29%.

"Market blowout, product quality is uneven."

Li Changfa, vice president of outdoor textiles branch of China Textile Business Association, said with emotion.

"The quality of the charge clothes per piece is often thousands of yuan, and about 100 yuan in the market on the basic anti wind performance can not reach.

A summer outdoor sports skin windbreaker should achieve the basic function of UV protection, and its price should be at least 300 yuan or more.

Li Changfa said that one of the important reasons for such a chaotic market is that some bad businesses choose cheap fabrics that do not have special functions.

Test methods vary widely in value.

Reporters on a brand assault clothing hanging tag to see that the product adopts the standard of FZ/T81007-2012 and FZ/T73020-2012.

According to the reporters' enquiries, these two standards are "single, clip clothing" standard and "knitted casual wear" standard. They only regulate the general quality of single, clipped garments and knitted casual wear, and do not involve special functions such as waterproof, sunscreen and fast drying.

"Although there are some testing standards for fabrics in China, there is no uniform product standard for outdoor clothing."

According to Chen Baishun, director of research and management center of the domestic outdoor clothing brand Pathfinder, the functional quality of outdoor sportswear depends not only on the functionality of the fabric itself, but also on many factors such as clothing processing technology, clothing structure, and so on.

"For example, the total pressure glue or semi pressure glue used in fabric processing technology will have different waterproof properties, and different cutting structure will also affect the waterproof performance of clothing."

Therefore, only the testing standards of fabrics can not fully cover all functional tests of outdoor sportswear.

"Some enterprises have adopted the testing standards of the United States and Japan to test the products, and some enterprises have adopted the domestic testing standards.

However, the standards of various test methods are quite different, and the test data obtained are also very different.

Chen Baishun said, "therefore, we should not just look at the absolute value, but also know what the numerical value is based on."

The standard of "tailor-made"

However, there is no uniform outdoor clothing standard in China. The recommended national standard for outdoor sportswear has entered the stage of approval and will be released soon.

Chen Baishun is one of the main drafters of the standard.

According to him, the standard defines for the first time the "outfit", which is made of waterproof and moisture permeable textile fabrics, which is made of outdoor waterproof and moisture permeable clothing.

The standard specifies the product size, requirements, inspection rules, decision rules, product instructions, packaging, pportation and storage.

Chen Baishun explained that because of the particularity of the wearing environment, the assault clothing has high requirements for fabric and production technology. Besides the basic wearing performance, it also needs to pay special attention to its waterproof and moisture permeable functional properties.

"The standard setting is based on the industrial standards such as" single, clipped garments "and" jacket "and other common garment standards. It has fully considered and combined the actual use environment of the clothing, enhanced the requirements of fabric physical and chemical properties, increased the requirements of waterproof and moisture permeable function indicators, and indirectly controlled the quality of the special technology of the clothing by judging the appearance quality and the appearance of the washes.

The reporter saw that the standard not only stipulated the standard of clothing, such as fiber content, safety index, size change rate of washing, color fastness, but also emphasized the quality of clothing's surface moisture content, durability index, tearing strength and so on.

It can be said that this is a truly tailored standard for outdoor sportswear.

In addition, reporters learned from the China Textile Business Association outdoor products branch, in addition to

The association is working on the establishment of a group standard for fast drying clothes and skin windbreaks with larger sales volume in the market. It hopes to provide technical support and basis for standardizing the market, improving the overall quality of outdoor sportswear and protecting the interests of consumers, and promoting healthy, orderly and healthy development of the industry.
