Wenling, The "Hometown Of Children'S Shoes", Strives For Standardization Of Production

Recently, the reporter learned that the Children's Shoes The national standard will be officially implemented on January 1, 2016. This standard is one of the two most important mandatory standards in China's footwear industry. It is the second safety technical specification related to footwear in China after the Technical Code for Health and Safety of Rubber Shoes. As the "hometown of children's shoes", the implementation of the standard may have a "chain reaction" to the standardized production of children's shoes industry in the city.

"Before the introduction of this standard, the standard of children's shoes was almost blank." Liang Yunqing, executive deputy director of Chengbei Sub district Office, said, however, the market has increasingly strict control over harmful substances in children's shoes. The introduction of this standard is to let children's shoes production enterprises have standards to follow and can regulate the production of shoes enterprises.

Taizhou Feiying Shoes Co., Ltd. is the only enterprise in Wenling that participated in drafting the mandatory national standard of Technical Specifications for Safety of Children's Shoes. "Before that, we produced children's shoes according to the standards of adult shoes. However, the requirements for shoes worn by adults and children are different," said Li Dinghai, chairman of the company, They often encounter situations where standards and actual production requirements are different.

In 2013, Li Dinghai began to participate in the drafting of the Technical Specification for Safety of Children's Shoes. He met with other drafting units irregularly and carried out market research again and again, which led to the introduction of the current standard. In the technical requirements of this standard, various factors that cause or may cause injury to children are specified, with special emphasis on the safety of children's shoes in terms of physical and mechanical safety performance and limited substances, such as the requirement that children's shoes should be free of exposed nail tips, effective heel height should not be more than 25 mm, etc., and the relevant requirements and limited provisions for harmful chemicals, odor, etc. are also made. Many of these requirements are the first to appear in relevant footwear standards.

So, how to understand the gap between products and standards and deal with risks in advance? Since September 16, Chengbei Street has officially implemented the standard of Safety Performance and Limit of Harmful Substances for Children's Shoes. It took more than one year to put forward and formulate the standard, and 40 children's shoe enterprises on the rules participated in the drafting. The indicators are equal to the standard of Technical Specifications for Safety of Children's Shoes, and the tensile strength of small accessories is higher than the national standard. At the same time, Chengbei Shoes Testing Co., Ltd. will Children's shoes enterprise Carry out quality control, sample and submit children's shoes for inspection, timely feed back the test results, and carry out phased training for enterprises to gradually improve the production standardization and overall quality of children's shoes industry in the jurisdiction.

From the original recommended standard to the mandatory standard, once the "Technical Code for Safety of Children's Shoes" standard is issued and implemented, it must be implemented, and the AQSIQ will also implement product quality Conduct supervision and spot check. According to the Regulations on Post treatment of Enterprises Producing Unqualified Products under State Supervision and Random Inspection of Product Quality implemented on July 1 this year, the AQSIQ is very strict in the treatment of enterprises producing unqualified products under random inspection, including stopping production, sales, ordering rectification, stopping business for rectification, and even revoking relevant certificates and licenses. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the quality of footwear products, footwear product logos are also included in the sampling list of the AQSIQ, involving 11 elements such as trademark, product name, shoe size (national code), material, place of origin, enterprise name, contact information, San Bao regulations, and production date. These are bound to have a certain impact on the Wenling children's shoes industry and the completion of the national children's shoes product quality improvement demonstration project. In particular, the extensive operation of low, small and casual shoe enterprises will be a shuffle. For children's shoes enterprises above the designated size, this is also a test of their own brands.
