The standard also makes stipulation on textile accessories, requiring them with a certain tensile strength and without any sharp tips and edges. It also adds the provision of the combustion performance.

According to different safety standards, the safety technique category can be divided into A, B, C class by this standard, Class A the best, Class B good, Class C the basic requirements. It requires that the textile products of infants should meet Class A requirement, the skin contacted clothes should at least meet  Class B and the non skin contacted clothes should at least meet Class C.

The Key Index in Purchasing:
